Laura
Treatment Coordinator/CDA II
Laura brought her warm personality to our team in 2011. There is never a dull moment for Laura because she wears many hats in the office, including manager all of our marketing, advertising, and social media efforts. She is our treatment coordinator and is responsible for meeting new patients and starting treatment, talking to patients regarding any financial concerns, handling financial matters, and answering any orthodontic-related questions patients may have. Laura also assists Dr. Rajasekaran and our hygienists taking X-rays, photos and impressions, polishing teeth, sterilizing equipment, and making sure everything runs smoothly and in a timely manner.
In her spare time, Laura enjoys gardening, interior design, reading, and spending time with her husband and two young children.
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.
