Bangelle was born in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Florida with her family when she was 11 years old. (When you hear her cheerful voice on the phone, she probably will be using her nickname, which is Bri.) She has two brothers and two sisters and loves to spend time with her niece and two nephews who live nearby. Bangelle graduated from Wiregrass Ranch High School in 2018 and began her undergraduate studies at Pasco-Hernandez State College the same year. She is an accomplished basketball player who also enjoys playing ... wait for it ... flag football! Her diverse ambitions include studying fashion design at The Tampa Art Institute and pursuing the study of pediatric neurology at USF. Bangelle already knows MUCH more about pediatric neurology than most people do because she was born with hydrocephalus. Timely diagnosis and treatment, including over seven years of close care from a talented team of physicians, neurosurgeons and neurologists, has enabled Bangelle to accomplish much so far -- and has equipped her to accomplish much more in her bright future. In the meantime, we will keep her busy answering phones and greeting patients at Wells Endodontics for as long as we can!

Tammy brings 30+ years of diverse customer service experience to our team. She is a people-person who finds joy welcoming patients and helping them feel at ease. She can appreciate patients fears because she was that terrified patient at one time. She uses that empathy to help ease our patients anxieties about root canal treatment.

Tammy is a Florida native, born and raised in Tampa. Shes married to her husband Bruce, of 17 years, and they have a 14-year old daughter, Amanda. In her spare time, she loves spending quality time with her family, going to her daughters volleyball events, traveling, and lounging poolside with family and friends. However, one of her biggest joys is finding time to spend at the beach as Beach air feeds my soul.

Marilyn has worked in the medical field for many years and when the opportunity presented itself to work at Wells Endodontics she took the jump and has been here for 3 years now. Marilyn was born and raised in Chicago, Il. She moved around a few times with her family to Kansas and then New Jersey, where she met her husband of 28 years in high school. They both graduated in 1994 and from there they ventured off into the medical field. After starting a family of their own they decided to move to Florida in 2000 and have been here since.

MaryBeth handles patient insurance claims and addresses any insurance-related needs. She has been a part of Wells Endo family since we opened our doors in 2007. As Dr. Wells' sister, she has been part of the family for a lot longer than that! She has her Bachelors Degree from Missouri State University.

Johnny, a retired civil engineer, is also Dr. Wells father. Starting with the design and construction of the Wells Endodontics office building in 2006, he has been lending a hand with his sons endodontics practice from time to time. In addition to keeping up with building maintenance, Johnny has been adapting his engineering skills to the dental field. That comes in handy when theres a dental equipment maintenance issue, when any of the 21 computers in the office go down, or when another technical problem threatens to interrupt the smooth workflow thats so important to quality patient care. As the father of nine and (so far) grandfather of 17, Johnny enjoys his new-found life of leisure by taking full advantage of living between the beach and Disney World!

Eric was born in Elizabeth, NJ, and moved to Tampa, Florida in 2000. Eric grew up in Tampa until 2010 when he and his family moved to Wesley Chapel. While attending John Long Middle School and Wiregrass Ranch High School, Eric ran track for both schools where he made it to the State Conference. After graduating from high school, Eric worked briefly as a Supervising Cook. When he had the opportunity to come to work at Wells Endodontics (where his mother, Marilyn, also works) he didn't hesitate -- and that has been our good fortune! Eric's hard work, intelligence and positive attitude quickly enabled him to become the indispensable member of our team that he is today.

Trained as a dental assistant in the US Air Force, Vern brings a wealth of relevant experience with him to Wells Endodontics. The time he was assigned to MacDill Air Force Base (1986-1996) was interrupted in 1990 and 1991 for service as part of Desert Shield/Desert Storm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Although this Baltimore native has travelled extensively, he remains a loyal supporter of the two pro football teams he grew up with, (now named) The Ravens and The Washington Football Team. So far, Dr. Wells repeated attempts to convert Vern to a fan of Tom Brady and The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have failed. Completely. In his spare time, Vern enjoys working out, going to the beach and snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Born and raised in Minnesota, Kristine graduated from NE Technical College with her dental assisting degree in 1992. In 2004, she decided to trade The Land of 10,000 Lakes (and its long, cold winters) for The Sunshine State, settling in (... where else?) Land OLakes! She lives there today with her husband, Rich, and son Trevor. Having worked in endodontics for the past six of her nearly 30 years of experience as a dental assistant, Kristine is an invaluable member of the Wells Endodontics team.

Every day, Irma brings her experience and her smiling face to work with her. She is compassionate, caring and looks forward to creating long-lasting relationships with the patients she takes such good care of at Wells Endodontics.

Payton is one of the special people who really is a Florida Native. Today she lives in (and owns) the same house in Plant City where she was born and raised. Her blended familysome of whom live in Virginia nowincludes one brother, two step-brothers and two step-sisters.

Shortly after graduating from Strawberry Crest High School in 2015, Payton attended the Dental Assisting Institute in Pinellas Park, FL. For five or six years after graduating (before deciding to work exclusively for Wells Endodontics...), Payton worked as a temp at a variety of specialty dental offices in the area. It was while volunteering her time and talent with Florida Mission of Mercy that she developed her preference for working in dental specialty offices. In those free, large-scale, two-day professional dental clinics (set up each year in one of the numerous different fairgrounds around the state), Payton learned firsthand that sometimes full-mouth extractions are the only viable option for those underserved and uninsured Floridians who may never before have been seen by a dentist. Wells Endodontics is fortunate to have such a compassionate person helping to take great care of our patients.

Much of Paytons spare time is taken up now by her son, Hayden, who was born in 2020. However, she also shares other interests with Haydens father, David, who is an experienced heavy equipment mechanic. Growing up around machinery and mechanics, Payton acquired the unusual hobby of rebuilding internal combustion engines! For their latest joint project, building an airboat, Payton rebuilt an old air boat engine from the block up...and left the easy parts for David.
