Derya is our office manager. She began working for us part-time while still a student in college. She came to us as a dental assistant but quickly displayed an energy and enthusiasm for learning additional tasks. Derya may be small but she is our office dynamo. Since graduating from the Ohio State University, she has been promoted to the position of office manager. Derya is the proud mother of a toddler, and is your source for all questions related to your account, dental insurance, and scheduling. In addition, she performs most of our in-house laboratory work, including the fabrication of those bright new orthodontic retainers. If you ever wonder how your retainer gets so shiny, just ask Derya.
Lizz is our assistant office manager. She is the smiling face that greets you when you enter the office and the pleasant voice that answers the phone. Lizz is a recent graduate of Otterbein University. She can assist you with scheduling and most of your insurance and accounting questions. In addition, she is a licensed radiographer and assists with orthodontic records.
Kelli is our dental hygienist. She began working for us as a sub for maternity leave and brings over 15 years of hygiene experience to our office. Kelli possesses the uncanny ability to relax even the most apprehensive child during the hygiene visit. Kelli is a recipient of the Golden Scaler Award presented to the outstanding clinician in her hygiene school class. She is married and the mother of two fine boys. Kelli loves NASCAR® racing and is an avid Buckeye fan. Michigan fans, beware!
Annie is our dental assistant. She is experienced and knowledgeable and has been the right and left hand of Dr. Tom for over 3 years. She is also a licensed radiographer and performs much of our in-house lab work. Annie is the person who will be holding your child’s hand throughout any difficult procedure.
