When it comes to our doctors she is considered their Right-hand but officially she is our Office Coordinator who, believe it or not, has been a member of the team since 1987. Rhonda is normally behind the scenes managing, planning or working on the latest marketing project. However her vast orthodontic knowledge sometimes requires this Jack-of-all-trades to head to the clinic to lend a helping hand. In fact, there isnt a thing in this office she cant do. Needless to say, shes the secret weapon that keeps this well-oiled machine running!

Not only is Rhonda handy dandy at the office, shes the same at home as well. When off the clock, she enjoys home projects, crafts and shopping at her favorite store, Hobby Lobby (her husband Kent, not so much). They also enjoy weekend trips to the beach and mountains or just cruising in the jeep with their golden retriever Lucy.

Penny is our Treatment Coordinator and has been welcoming our new patients since 1988. She is great at making sure all patients have the information they need and feel comfortable about their upcoming treatment. Her warm, caring personality and attention to detail always makes meeting with Penny a pleasant experience. Whether shes presenting fees or scheduling procedures she always has an empathetic ear and a thoughtful solution to patient concerns. She is also tasked with another important job: make sure the staff Keurig is filled and ready to brew. Its a good thing too because office morale hangs in the balance!

When not with her Hamilton and Whitecotton family, Penny can be found enjoying time with her husband Ray. They love the hustle and bustle that life with children and grandchildren brings. Penny and Ray are very involved in church and love traveling as much as possible, and are always excited for their next adventure together.

Allison is our Clinical Coordinator and has been fashioning smiles since 1989. She helps keep our clinic flowing smoothly and our doctors on track and its all done with style. We arent sure which is more impressive, her knowledge of orthodontics or her vast expertise in beauty and fashion. Shes the only one we know who can make our scrubs look like they should be on the runway. Allison also has a rather unique calling card here at Hamilton and Whitecotton if you see an open door, drawer or cabinet you know whos been there!

When the work week ends, the fun begins as Allison and husband Darren head to their home away from home in the beautiful mountains of West Jefferson, NC. Whether preparing the cabins for guests to enjoy, or just spending some alone-time, its easy to see why this is called the coolest corner of NC. When the hills arent calling, Allison enjoys spending time with her daughter Alex, son Gabe and granddaughter Aubrey Grace.

When not in the office, Crystal is the queen of extreme couponing! She gives new meaning to the phrase something for nothing because she is the only person we know who can go to the store, get tons of groceries and after coupons they owe HER money. If there is a bargain to be found she can find it! When not being paid to shop Crystal enjoys spending time with her husband Ken and their two sons Keegan, Kylar and grandson, Gavin.

Jennifer is one of our clinical assistants and has been working chairside since 2003. She is responsible for ordering the appliances and traditional retainers needed to help create and maintain beautiful smiles. She enjoys working with our patients and is all about time management.

In addition to orthodontics, Jennifer enjoys helping others reach their fullest potential as a Happy Coffee Consultant. She is passionate about you becoming the happiest and healthiest version of yourself! Coffee aside, what makes her happiest is spending time with her family, specifically her husband Greg and son Brady.

April joined the team as a clinical assistant in 2005. Assisting, ordering, organizingIts all in a days work for this lean, mean multi-tasking machine. Aside from working with our patients, what do you think her favorite part of the job is? That would be managing, unpacking and organizing our supply orders. She puts the o in ordering and ensures our clinical supplies are available and ready for the taking! Oh yeah, and this self-proclaimed queen of clean will empty the staff fridge before you can say soggy bread so lookout leftovers!

So after running at a back-breaking pace all week, what do you suppose April likes to do on the weekends? Relax, kick back and put her feet up? Wrong! When she isnt at the office, she is likely cleaning her house, or PawPaws house, or the car, or the garage, or the yardyou get the picture. When she cant find anything else to clean, she enjoys playing games and hanging out with her husband Jamie and their 2 kids, Jake and Kinley.

Tammy became part of our team in 2005. She is responsible for taking diagnostic records (photos, x-rays, impressions) but is known mostly for her social skills. Oh snap! Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat lookout! Tammy has her iPhone and iPad ready at a moments notice! Whether in person or on social media, she has a unique way of making people feel right at home and like theyre part of our Hamilton and Whitecotton family. When not behind a camera, Tammy may be found in the lab, at the front desk or in the clinic lending a hand wherever she is needed.

As a West Virginia native, Tammy, along with daughter Savannah and yorkie Dunkin, spends a lot of time on the road again. Whether visiting family or cheering on her husband Mike, head football coach of the Parkersburg BIG REDS, they keep the roads hot! When the wheels arent turning she also enjoys spending time here with their son Kris, and 3 grandkids, Grayson, Kenadee and Barron. Heres a fun Tammy fact: She is a DIY Diva! This could range from building her own pergola, installing a new sink, sewing projects and dont even get us started on all the painting!

Quinn (pronounced GWEN) has worked with Dr. Hamilton since 2007 and is responsible for many of the financial aspects of the business (AKA, the money lady). She handles financial contracts and arranging payment plans for our patients, but also assists with office advertising and marketing. If you want to get technical, she is also our go-to when the technical goes wrong. Armed only with her well-honed tech savvy and keen computer skills, she is able to solve most any peskyoffice equipment issue that arises.

Quinns days away from the office are spent with her husband Lee, two children Lindsey and Luke, and their dog Scout. She enjoys reading, photography, and all things vintage. She is a nostalgia nut with unique sense of style that allows her to see the new life that can be given to the old. Her garage is full of what her husband calls junk but Quinn calls potential! Fun fact: She has selective OCD crumbs in her car and she doesnt care, but touch her pen and you better beware!

Michelle can also be found assisting her husband Stephen with his home improvement and landscaping business. Patio pavers, fencing, building walls, this girl sure can do it ALL! So when the work is through, what does she like to do?...set sail and cruise (usually 2-3 times per year) or travel. Wherever it may be, shes always on the go!

America Runs on Dunkin and so does Kadie! Whether in or out of the office, don't be surprised if you see her sipping on a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. Kadie and herhusband Dustin love to take their sons Sawyer and Bowen to the beach along with their dog Rex. As long as theyre together and preferably outside, the Dellingers are a happy bunch!

Jaci joined the Hamilton & Whitecotton crew in 2017 as a clinical assistant. In addition to working chairside, she is responsible for keeping our workstations stocked, as well as assisting the doctors with in-office laser procedures. Jacis warm smile and welcoming personality may have you believing shes a true southern belle, but you would be mistaken. She is actually a New Yorker with a southern drawl making her anything but ordinary!

When not straightening teeth, Jaci loves hosting get-togethers with close family and friends. On weekends, she can be found entertaining the masses which usually involves Mexican food and eating avocado by the spoonful! This social sort also enjoys traveling to the beach and spending her down time with husband, Caleb and daughters Sophie and Everly.

One thing is for sure, Anna likes it COLD! Between her iced-coffee, the temperature and her favorite season (winter), the colder the better. As a graduate of ASU, this Mountaineer enjoys hiking, traveling, painting and is a HUGE Carolina Tar Heels and Atlanta Braves fan! She also likes hanging out with friends and family, especially spending time with her niece, Madelyn and nephew, Micah.

Kayla has been assisting doctors Hamilton and Whitecotton since 2018. When not helping our docs, you can always find her lending a helping hand to those around her. If you need her to call back a patient, grab an instrument, or clean your unit, she's right there to meet the need. Kayla's laid-back demeanor and willingness to help make her a joy to both staff and patients.

Anyone who knows Kayla is aware of how easy it is to tickle her funny bone! This girl will laugh at anything, including Dr. W 's corny jokes! In her free time, she loves to travel and make memories with her family and friends. Her motto is 'If it ain 't fun, I ain 't doing it!' and she lives that to the fullest! Quirky side note...Kayla has a big obsession with tiny objects. She loves miniature replicas of anything and even follows the 'Miniature Foods' facebook page. See?...quirky, right? LOL!
