Kristen
Lead Clinical Assistant
Why did you choose dentistry?
I fell in love with orthodontics because of my orthodontist. Their office was state of the art and everyone was so kind. I looked forward to going to my appointments and always thought it was such a cool and rewarding job. I went into banking after school and quickly knew it was not the job for me, so went back to college to get a dental degree. I have worked in orthodontics for over 14 years as of 2023.
