Dr. Chaffee has practiced in Coeur dAlene since 1993. He finalized his ABO Board Certification in 2003, becoming the first board certified orthodontist in the Coeur dAlene area. He now serves as an Examiner for the American Board of Orthodontics. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. He is a member and past president of the Idaho Panhandle Dental Society.

Having a commitment to continuing education in order to provide his patients with the highest quality care possible, Dr. Chaffee is a member of the Texas Orthodontic Study Club and Border-to-Border Study Club. He is also a member of the prestigious Northwest Component of the Edward H. Angle Society. These organizations are unique in that they require members to demonstrate their abilities in orthodontic treatment planning and finishing in front of their peers, and as a result they all push their members to be the best that they can be. In 2000 he received the C.T. Roland Award from the Texas Orthodontic Study Club, an award given to the new member with the most impressive and well-treated cases.

Dr. Chaffee strongly believes in evidence-based orthodontics and individualized treatment planning for each patient. He is one the leading experts in the United States in the area of orthodontic skeletal anchorage. He has published several recent articles, as well as a textbook chapter. He lectures both nationally and internationally, including presentations at the annual conventions of the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

He loves spending time in the outdoors, enjoys gardening, backpacking, photography, pack goats, and fishing. He and his wife Susan have two grown children (Kyle and Rachel) and one granddaughter. Since the kids are grown, Dr. Chaffee decided to take up photography and hiking with his new kids pack goats.

Im Jill, the financial and scheduling coordinator. Ive had the pleasure of working for Dr. Chaffee for over 15 years. Our staff is so fun; coming to work doesnt even feel like work. My favorite part of my job is getting to know our patients and parents throughout treatment.

I married my best friend, Buddy, in 1989. We have two children, Nikki and Nathan. Our daughter and her husband have blessed us with two amazing grandsons. We are big Gonzaga basketball fans, and I really love coming to work when our Zags beat Dr. Chaffees Aggies! In the summer, we love our garden and especially enjoy comparing with Dr. Chaffee on who has the biggest tomatoes and strawberries. (P.S. Its always me!!)

My name is Kim. I am an RDA. I decided to go back to school to get my dental assisting degree after having my youngest child. I have over 5 years of orthodontic experience. I went into ortho because I had braces as a child and as an adult! I remember how great the staff was and helped calm my nerves, and I wanted to be able to do that for someone as well. My favorite is our surgical cases, and seeing the before and after. I love our outgoing and caring staff! It never feels like work here- we are always having fun and laughing!

In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, two kids, and our two English bulldogs, Hoss and Millie. We are a sports-loving family, and are very busy with coaching and cheering our kids on every weekend. If you are a Green Bay Packers fan, then you are my new best friend! GO PACK GO!

Hello, Im Maddi! I am the treatment coordinator here at Riverstone Orthodontics. I fell in love with orthodontics when I was a patient of Dr. Chaffees, and now I have the pleasure to be working along-side him. I started cleaning instruments after school in high school, in 2017. I moved up to lab technician and assistant and now to front office. Having the knowledge from assisting is helpful to explain treatment to new patients. I love meeting every new patient that comes through the door and seeing the transformation through treatment. I hope to meet you soon!

Im Susan Chaffee, the office manager, AKA team mom. Ive worked in the practice since 1993. I enjoy working with our energetic and sometimes crazy staffit makes coming to work a lot of fun! Its amazing to see the changes in our patients as they grow in stature, personality, and confidence. I really enjoy when former patients stop in just to say hello, sometimes with their own children!

Mike and I have two kids and a very busy granddaughter, as well as the farm menagerie of chickens, goats, cats, and our Australian Shepherd Jasper. I enjoy traveling with Mike when he is teaching or speaking. I also enjoy cooking, canning from Mikes amazing garden, crafting, and teaching 4H cooking classes.

Excellent staff all the way around. My daughter has been seeing Dr. Chaffee for around 3 months now. They are incredible with their customers and with one another. Each time I've went in there with her, you get that sense that everyone gets along and it is a happy work environment. That speaks volumes alone. Dr. Chaffee is kind, soft spoken, and incredible at his job. There are a bunch of skilled professionals here. Also, they gave us several options for payment on the braces, etc... We were able to find one that worked great for us and my teen looks forward to the day that she can be excited to show off her smile! Additionally, they make it very easy for check in with all the CV19 restrictions. You simply text them at the door, wait in your vehicle and they will message you when it is time to come up. They have a great system set up and it makes the appointments go smoothly.

Riverstone Orthodontics has been amazing for both my daughters! Dr. Chaffee is amazing. He takes time to explain everything to you so you understand the full scope of the orthodontic treatment your child is undergoing. The office staff is always super helpful and nice whether it is working with scheduling conflicts or help dealing with insurance companies. I recommend Riverstone Orthodontics to everyone I talk to who needs or has children who need braces.
