My team goes above and beyond in everything they do! They make every patient feel at home and take exceptional pride in their work. They ensure our day-to-day schedule runs smoothly and support me in all aspects of patient and customer care. Most importantly, they are fun, intelligent people who genuinely care about our patients and families and keep our office full of laughter and smiles!

I like the day-to-day interaction with our patients. Its enjoyable to see their smiling faces as treatment progresses and how each person gains self-esteem! I provide chairside assistance during procedures, make appliances in the lab, and take impressions, X-rays, and patient records.

I share my life with my fur child, Harvey, whos a Pit bull. Hes friendly and wonderful and makes my days bright. When Im not working, I like playing with Harvey, watching sports, and outdoor adventures.

I have the pleasure of working with our patients from the very beginning of their treatment to the day their beautiful, new smile is revealed! During a new patient exam, I take X-rays and photos, document Dr. Frels diagnosis and treatment plan, and review the recommended treatment and financial options with the patient. Being involved in such a hands-on way, and knowing that our work has made a significant effect on a persons life, brings me joy.

Ive been married for 33 years and have two beautiful daughters and four grandkids with hopefully more on the way!

I like working with our patients and parents: helping them understand the financials and making treatment understandable. Watching each patient change, and become more confident with a new smile, is the best experience! I work on financial responsibilities and insurance claims.

Dr. Frels is very detailed oriented and always recommends what she feels is the best treatment for each person. She is caring and kind, as are the team members, and that makes for a wonderful environment for all of us.

I like interacting with our patients and getting to know them and their families. Its rewarding to see the end results of treatment and the smiles that accompany those results!

I am blessed with four incredible children and two amazing grandchildren. I enjoy time with them and good friends. I am an avid sports fan, love to travel, and am intrigued by humans and their stories. My favorite quote: You cant help but love a person, once youve heard their story.

I love seeing the difference we make in our patients lives, not just with their treatment, but the one-on-one care we provide as we build beautiful smiles! I offer patient care, deliver braces and appliances, and assist Dr. Frels. I also make appliances in our lab, do iTero scans, handle sterilizing tasks, and am the OSHA rep.

I will be getting married in early April 2019, so right now much of my time off is spent planning for the wedding! My fianc and I have a fur baby: our German Shepherd, Kusa. We spend what free time we do have playing with him and enjoying our home together.

I enjoy helping out around the office by checking on patients insurance benefits, filing charts, answering the phone, and any other tasks needed to help the office run smoothly. I joined this office in 2015; its been fun learning about all the different aspects of the dental and orthodontic field! I love watching our patients smiles transform over the course of their treatment.

I have been married to my husband Jim for 29 years. We have a daughter and a son and love spending as much time with them as we can. Outside of the office, I enjoy working in my yard, reading, and volunteering at my church.

I like building relationships with our patients and seeing each person become more confident and outgoing with a new smile! My days are spent in the clinic, where I take X-rays and impressions and provide chairside assistance and patient care. I also handle sterilization and stocking.

Dr. Frels believes its essential foryou to have all the information up front treatment choices, financial options, and scheduling as well as to getall of your questions fully answered, before you decide on care.

I know the transformative power of braces: I loved going to the orthodontist when I was a child, and still recall how amazing it was to see my new smile and the confidence that gave me. I knewthenthat I needed to share that experience with others!

When I meet a new patient, I focus on what they tell me about their treatment goals, concerns, and day-to-day life. Following the initial exam, I design a fully customized treatment plan that addresses the whole of the situation. I make the process efficient and comfortable, improve oral health and bite, and create a smile thats natural-looking and pleasing.

I want every patient to know I care about and want only the best for them: a full and happy life, the greatest success in every undertaking, and a wonderful smile they love to share! Dr. Leslie K. Frels
