Christine
Treatment Coordinator & Certified Level II Dental Assistant
Christie started working for both offices in 2017 immediately after graduating from Durham College. She started as a Certified Dental Assistant managing the entire clinic and training new staff to move into a Treatment Coordinator role full-time. She is part of the initial introduction to orthodontics for patients and their families. Christie has the ability to make instant connections with patients and understand their unique situations while fostering lasting relationships and guiding patients in their orthodontic journey.
In her own words:
I enjoy my job as Treatment Coordinator because I love getting patients excited about their smile transformation. As a CDA, I enjoy working directly with patients doing scans, impressions, X-rays, etc.
In my spare time I enjoy cooking for my family, spending time with my husband, our young daughter, my dog and two cats. I enjoy being active, trying new foods and weekends at the cottage.
Kristen
Administrative Manager
Kristen brought her positive and upbeat spirit to us in September 2019. Most of you will recognize Kristen because she is the face of our Whitby practice and greets everyone with a warm hello when they walk in the door! Kristen is your first point of contact and is responsible for scheduling, answering calls, payment plans, insurance inquiries, patient accounts and much more!
In her own words:
I get so much satisfaction from helping families and individuals go through the process of treatment, and seeing their smile transformation! Additionally, I love our team and truly enjoy coming to work every day because I appreciate the company culture and feel like I am always learning from my coworkers.
In my spare time I enjoy spending it with my cat and dog, reading, cooking, baking, getting out for walks, bike rides and spending warm summer nights on a patio with great friends.
Maggie
Orthodontic Hygienist
Maggie started working with us in 2017 and works directly with patients placing braces, fitting bands, wire adjustments, removing braces and placing permanent retainers. Not only is she responsible for these standard hygiene duties but she is responsible for executing the treatment plans for our in house 3D printed aligners and is an integral part of our team.
In her own words:
I love helping people transform their smiles to feel more confident and to be unafraid to put a bigger smile on their faces. I also love that the whole team here works in harmony. I love coming to work every day knowing I might get lucky enough to catch one of Dr. Raj’s dad jokes!
In my time not spent working, I love old school board games and spending time with friends and family!
Shannon
Orthodontic Hygienist
Shannon graduated in 2009 from Durham College with honours and has been with both our offices since early 2021. Though she loves general dentistry, she has an equal love for orthodontics and helping patients reach their smile goals. She has been a great asset to our team and we are lucky to have her with us, as are our patients!
In her own words:
I am thrilled to work with Dr. Rajasekaran because he takes the time to truly teach us to be the absolute best we can be. It’s a great feeling to go to work everyday and learn something new even after all these years. It’s also a bonus that my coworkers make work feel less like work!
I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, especially in the Kawartha Lakes where I grew up. I also enjoy spending time with my 2 daughters and my husband!
When not working, I can be found in my garden or pool, reading, and spending my time with my two kids, my husband, and our friends and family.
Jhen
Certified Level II Dental Assistant
Jhen came to our office in 2021 with years of experience in the field and is now responsible for running the back clinic at both offices. Not only does she assist with X-rays, photos and impressions, sterilizing equipment and assisting the hygienists, she is also responsible for making sure everything in the clinic runs smoothly and in a timely manner.
In her own words:
I take great pleasure in working alongside such a kind and amicable team which makes coming to work each day feel like returning home. My free time is spent with my family, taking my children to their various activities and travelling with them which I thoroughly enjoy.

It is a great feeling to be able to help make a difference in someone’s life.
When I’m not at work, I’m someone who believes in the power of great company and outdoor adventures. Whether it’s spending quality time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors with my dog or traveling to exciting places.
