I love watching children and adults alike as they see their new smile for the first time. Some patients are insecure and timid in part because of their crooked teeth. To see them transform to confident individuals with higher self-esteem because of their smile is so rewarding. It is something I will never get tired of.

Appleton (and the Fox Valley) is such a family-friendly area and a great place to raise my children. That means a lot to me. Im comfortable here and I want my patients to be just as comfortable. I want to treat everyone the way I want my family treated. Dr. Tomassetti

I have truly enjoyed the time I have spent learning the specialty of orthodontics and have come to appreciate its subtleties and challenges, but more importantly, I have gained firsthand experience in how profound an impact orthodontic treatment can have on a persons quality of life. I am eager to continue to learn and develop as a professional in the specialty of orthodontics. Dr. Eichholz

Theyre always available to answer any question you may have and want to make your time here as pleasant, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.

Our office team puts enormous emphasis on providing the very best customer service available to ensure that you not only get an effective and excellent outcome from your treatment, but also enjoy your time in our office.

I am in charge of all the correspondence in our office, whether from our doctors to ourpatient's dentists, explaining the orthodontic treatment proposal, or with insurance companies to explainwhy orthodontic treatment is necessary. I began my career more than 40 years ago, and have experience as a dental assistant, receptionist, office manager and bookkeeper in general dentistry and orthodontics. Orthodontics is such a unique field, as were quite simply here to make our patients smile. It is rewarding to know that Im a part of that.

Prior to starting with AppleCreek Ortho in January, I worked in an orthodontic practice in Florida as a financial and insurance coordinator. Although I miss the winter weather in Florida, I am so happy to be a part of the ACO team! I especially enjoy meeting with patients and families to explain treatment in a way that is easily understood.

I have spent more than half of my dozen years of professional career at Apple Creek Orthodontics. Its been a lot of fun to meet so many new people and see them transition into more confident individuals. I also have enjoyed working as a team with my coworkers. Working with the doctors and everyone else here is a lot of fun! From singing in clinic to their fancy socks, they make each day enjoyable!

I have been in the orthodontic field for over 15 years. Prior to joining Apple Creek, I was Office Manager for an orthodontic practice in Oshkosh. Most recently I served as one of Apple Creek's Financial Coordinators remotely. As ACO grew, I joined the team full time here in Appleton!

I joined Apple Creek Orthodontics in October 2018. My background includes marketing, administration and office management. My position as Treatment Coordinator is by far my favorite thus far in my career! I enjoy making a personal connection with my patients and facilitate their understanding of orthodontic treatment.

Our orthodontic assistants help to place braces, change wires, take any necessary X-rays and photographs, and give instruction on the best ways to take care of your braces or appliance. They love meeting new patients and take the time to make sure your treatment is an easy, comfortable, and all-around positive experience from the moment you enter the door.

I began working in the dental field shortly after graduating from high school in 2002. Ive been working alongside the doctors at Apple Creek Orthodontics since 2009 where we strive to give patients the best and most advanced care and experiences we possibly can.

While not at work, I love to watch my son, Jackson, in the many sports he is involved in with Tim - my better half! We also love baseball and hockey, and love to travel to watch the Chicago Cubs or the Nashville Predators

I graduated from Milwaukee Area Technical College as a Dental Assistant in 2014 and went on to get my degree as a Registered Dental Hygienist, graduating in 2016. Shortly thereafter, I worked in general dentistry as a Dental Hygienist for 3 years and then decided I wanted to change things up. I started working at AppleCreek Orthodontics in 2019 primarily removing braces and appliances. I am also double as an ortho assistant when needed- meaning no 2 days are ever the same!!

While not at work, I enjoy working out at my gym at 4:30am and tiring out my fur baby, Remy, our crazy Golden Retriever. My fianc and I also love traveling, whether its up north or to a different country!

I have over 3 years of orthodontic experience. Prior to coming to ACO in September 2019, I had worked in a busy practice in the Fox Valley. I continue to enjoy the many facets of ortho and the impact I can have in changing a patient's self confidence!

I went to Fox Valley Technical College's Dental Assisting program while waiting to be accepted into the Dental Hygiene Program. After graduating the end of 2018, I worked in general dentistry before coming to Apple Creek Orthodontics in January 2019. Once here, I discovered I loved ortho so much that I decided to stay in the field !

I am known for being the horse crazy gal in the office! I reside in Menasha and when I am not at work I am showing horses, four-wheeling or boating! I also have a furry friend named Brewer who is a blue merle Austrian shepherd.

I graduated from the Dental Assistant Program at Fox Valley Technical College in December 2019. While in school, I was able to job shadow at Apple Creek Orthodontics and discovered that I liked the diversity of orthodontic treatment! I was hired full time at ACO after my graduation and continue to enjoy the world of ortho.

Apple Creek Orthodontics of Appletons practice philosophy is based on dedication to our patients. We truly celebrate when patients gettheir braces off; we have had a lot of tears of joy, which is absolutely the best part of working at Apple Creek Orthodontics. We strive to get to know each and every patient on a personal level, and treat everyone as we would treat a member of our family.
