Elmer is here to help Spanish- or English-speaking patients with questions or scheduling needs, and is also quite adept with all the technology in the office.

I enjoy coming to work and just being around the staff. Everyone is happy to be here no matter the day or time.

When Dr. Lee says we, its not because he has a mouse in his pocket. Its because this whole thing was built together with this woman. Married while undergrads, Debi graduated first and worked in health benefits consulting for several years while her husband did his dental and orthodontic training. His last day of school was on their 10th anniversary. Debi left her consulting job when their first children, boy/girl twins, were born, only to return to work with him when construction started on their first office in 2012. She now does much of her work from home, but she says that when she does come to the office, it always brightens her day. Its impossible to be grumpy when you hear good music and laughter throughout the office. Plus, the orthodontist is super handsome.
