We see many of our patients during an extremely transformative period in their lives, and we have the unique opportunity to completely alter their appearance and the way they feel about themselves in a very definite way. I definitely feel like I have the absolute best job in the world, and I cant imagine doing anything else.
I love getting to know my patients and their families. We become a part of their life during their treatment, and often that relationship continues even after their orthodontic treatment is completed. Its awesome to see them and their smiles out and about in town everywhere I go.
My goal is to provide the absolute highest level of service to every patient, every visit. To fulfill that goal, I regularly participate in continuing education on a variety of topics, including Invisalign and new techniques, through my membership in the American Association of Orthodontists.
My husband Lucas and I have four sons: Torren, KJ, Kaelan, and Rowan. I spend pretty much every minute Im not at the office with my family. We love to be at their sporting events, do fun things outdoors, and take short trips in Texas and to the surrounding states.
I grew up in the dental field. My stepfather is a general dentist in Ohio and I was working as a chairside assistant at age 13. After Dr. Cali and I met in undergraduate school, we worked together in restaurants before she started dental school and residency. When she started West Temple Orthodontics, joining the team was a natural decision!
My role includes marketing, accounting, community engagement, and HR. I love that I get to interact with our patients, be involved in our community, and be a leader to our team. Everyone here loves what they do, and it shows!
Dr. Cali and I have been married for 17 years and have four boys. We are active in community sports, especially rec and travel baseball, and enjoy the outdoors and traveling. I personally love hunting and fishing, making central Texas the best place we could have found to settle down!
I became a part of the WTO team in 2001. As a laboratory technician, I get to hand-make appliances specific to each individual patients needs. I love having a hand in creating some of the best smiles in Texas! I also enjoy working with our team. Most of us have been working together for more than a decade and are like one big family!
Working with patients and parents, I oversee and coordinate financial records, as well as process insurance claims and follow-ups. I enjoy getting to know our patients and families during their time with us, and love seeing how happy people are with their new smiles!
I meet with our new and pending patients as theyre getting ready to start the treatment process. I review their treatment plan and financials and answer any questions patients or parents might have. I enjoy meeting new people and being part of a team that helps individuals build confidence in their smiles!
I joined Dr. Cali and the West Temple Orthodontics team in 2019, after starting in the field in 2015. Dr. Cali cares about each of her patients like they are family, and thats true of everyone on the team, too.
I prepare rooms, sterilize tools, perform adjustments, and assist Dr. Cali with different procedures. It is rewarding to watch our patients teeth and smile transform from visit to visit and to see their bright, beautiful, finished smiles!
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Jakob, and young son, Krews. We have three Husky dogs that keep us outside and active! I love taste-testing food trucks and, when I have time, doing puzzles.
The light of my life is my son, Hayden James. I have a passion for health and fitness and enjoy spending my free time at the gym. When Im not serving our wonderful patients or at the gym, you can find me enjoying quality time outdoors with my family and friends.
I started at West Temple Orthodontics in 2005, was part of the team until 2012, and returned to the practice in 2020. This is an amazing office where we all work hard to ensure the best experience for our patients.
Working in the clinic, I remove and replace wires, take X-rays, photos, and scans, and assist Dr. Cali with patient care. I enjoy seeing the transformation that happens during treatment and how having a new smile affects each persons confidence!
Outside the office, I love spending time with friends and my family, especially my three children, Mia, Tayten, and Parker. I enjoy going to listen to music, spending my summers on the lake in Belton, and activities with Immanuel Baptist of Temple, where Ive been a member for over 20 years.
At West Temple Orthodontics, we are committed to providing the highest quality clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Dr. Cali and our staff enjoy getting to know each patient and their families, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.
