Being Dr. Elliss financial manager/ front desk head receptionist is such a pleasure! I love greeting each patient as they walk through our doors as well as sending them out with a positive report. Prior to managing finances for Dr. Ellis, I was an assistant in the office from 2008-2011. I am always eager to answer questions regarding any aspect of the office, weather it be about treatment, insurance, or anything else that may arise.
When Im not at the office my time is spent with my family. My husband Paul and I have been married for 6 years and our daughter Mackenzie is now 4 and growing fast. When the weather is nice, we enjoy spending our weekends outside. We like to incorporate our families in all that we do.
As Dr. Elliss Orthodontic Assistant, I always strive to give my patients quality treatment. I love chatting with my patients and making them feel as welcome as I can. I enjoy answering any questions they may have about their braces, an appliance, brushing techniques, or anything else! My favorite procedure is taking braces off because I love everyones genuine smile! When Im not in the treatment area, I stay busy with Ellis Orthodontics social media pages that are constantly gaining more and more activity.
At home I have one child. My son Eric is 4. We love going to the park, arcades, and doing crafts. In the summer we enjoy being pool-side, camping, or at the beach. But in the winter we like sledding and watching movies.

i'm 26 years old and just now getting braces. I absolutely LOVE and recommend Ellis orthodontics to everyone. The place is very flexible with appointments and payments and overall orthodontist work is extremely affordable for such superior treatment. The girls who work in his offices (which I may add, both facilities are beautiful and very clean) are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Ellis is so nice and very professional. He explains everything going on with my treatment. I literally look forward to visiting the office every 5 weeks 10/10 would recommend
