Originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, I moved to Tampa with my husband Tony in 2008. We have two beautiful daughters, Ava and Mia. I enjoy running, traveling, and cheering for Gator Football, but spending time with my loved ones is my favorite pastime.
Ive been committed to sponsoring the annual Great West Chase 5k Race to benefit local schools, and additionally directly support several local schools, including Westchase Elementary, Deer Park Elementary, Mary Bryant Elementary, Davidson Middle School and Farnell Middle School, many of these schools for over a decade. In addition to donations to the school PTA, we attend the Great American Teach In and school festivals. We sponsor sports at the schools and in the community. We have an annual Candy Buy Back contest amongst the local elementary schools. We have also hosted blood donation drives at our office.
My expertise can help others who are in need: Children born with craniofacial abnormalities, such as cleft lip and palate, hold a special place in my heart. These patients have very complex needs that require the attention of multiple medical and dental specialists. To assist these children and their families in getting the surgical and orthodontic care that they need, I volunteered my time for over 14 years at the St. Josephs Childrens Hospital Cleft and Craniofacial Team, and currently Im volunteering at the Tampa Bay Cleft and Craniofacial Team for over one year.

Dr. Durrett and her team were always so friendly and welcoming. I was a patient for over a year and everything was smooth from start to finish. The staff was clear and upfront with everything including cost and time frame. Best decision to get my Invisalign done here.

We went to a few different Orthodontist's before choosing Dr Durrett. She is an absolute sweetheart , very kind soft spoken and no pushy sales pitch. All 3 practices had different techniques on treatment plan , Dr durrett seemed to be the most honest saying my sons slight underbite cannot be corrected with braces and he would need Invisalign. He also had a loose tooth and she advised to wait for that to come out before starting treatment . All the other doctors wanted to start him right away which made no sense. The first office visit involved attaching contacts for the Invisalign. Upon arriving home we noticed one was missing. Not because it fell off but because the staff forgot to put it on. I thought that was a little strange and definitely should be checked by someone for quality control . Of course it could be added on, but that involved more time out of my workday and an additional office visit . The staff has been on point, prompt and friendly for the most part , with the exception of one of her main helpers. I've been here a handful of times and usually do not enjoy conversing with this person as she comes across to me as condescending confrontational and almost patronizing ...speaking to me as if I am a child or of higher superiority to your patient , and interrupting when I'm speaking . Questions asked should be answered professionally and in a less emotional /wide eyed loud responsive way. We are here for a service let's keep it simple. I understand working with children all day can be tasking but I shouldn't be leaving the office in a bad mood. I think she may be getting too comfortable running the office as the more aggressive right hand of a sweetheart Dr. which is understandable , but this review is based on expertise and customer service as a whole for the hefty price tag we are paying. Not sure if this is a racial matter - but I do feel mostly uncomfortable and try to keep things brief and short. Otherwise - it's not about the parents ...we are here for treatment , Dr Durrett is who we wish to deal with and ultimately who's plan we will follow. Looking forward to results. Edit : Dr Durrett tried for two days to get a hold of me personally and while we were playing phone tag we were finally able to speak. She was very diligent, proactive, and concerned in this matter. She wanted to know the details of my review and which I gave her. Stated that she had a talk with all of her office stuff which was beyond my expectations. It was clear that she takes all reviews seriously and assured us that this will not happen again.

Two of my children were patients of Dr Durrett and I was so pleased with the service and results of their treatment that I decided to become a patient myself. I am so glad I did as I have always been self conscious about my teeth. Dr Durrett and her staff are a wonderful group of people and I would recommend their services to anyone in need of orthodontic work.

I had a very positive experience with my daughter here this morning. I really appreciate the way this practice approaches each patient as an individual (who may or may not want braces) and discusses treatment in a way that makes both parent and child comfortable. No pushy sales here, just honest recommendations.

Dr. Durrett and her staff are absolutely wonderful. The office is welcoming and her bedside manner is warm and kind. They are respectful of our time and do not overbook appointments. We are always in and out in a reasonable amount of time. I have another child that had orthodontic treatment at another orthodontic office in Westchase and all I can say is I wish we would have come to Durrett for her treatment, too. I am so glad we chose this office for my son's orthodontic treatment.
