Kara
Dental Tech/ Lab Tech
I love working one-on-one with patients to help them progress while keeping them comfortable and educated in all stages of treatment. My favorite part of my job is getting to know each patient on a personal level and watching their smile transform, and confidence grow. We have the best team; everyone enjoys what they do and it makes it easy to do our jobs while laughing and talking with patients.
I have the most amazing daughter named Dallas. We enjoy going to the Columbus Zoo and Cosi. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and an ice-cold Dr. Pepper. We also go to Cypress Church every Sunday.
Tiffany
Orthodontic Technician
Being an orthodontic tech is rewarding because you get to see patients gain confidence as their smiles transform, especially when braces come off. It’s a fast-paced, hands-on job where you build relationships with patients and work closely with a team, making the day go by quickly!
In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends, including my one-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old stepdaughter, our two silly dogs, and my wonderful boyfriend.
Ellie
Orthodontic Technician
The dental field has always been my passion, but orthodontics is by far my favorite. I love connecting with each patient and being there along their journey to a perfect smile!
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time on our family farm. I love being around friends and family, going boating in the summer, and I love everything about fall.
Karah
Orthodontic Assistant
I graduated from dental assisting school in 2022 and began working for Dr. Anderson soon after. I realized orthodontics was the field of dentistry that I loved and wanted to work in. My favorite part of my job is getting to work with patients and seeing their smiles transform throughout their treatment. I also love teaching my patients how to properly care for their teeth and their braces so that they can become more confident with themselves.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and our two dogs, Poppy and Bane. Poppy is an Australian shepherd and Bane is a pug! I enjoy baking homemade sourdough bread, going to local thrift stores, and traveling whenever I can! I love exploring new places and trying new foods. I’m also a sucker for a good book and a crisp Diet Coke.
Sara
Orthodontic Assistant
I started my dental career in 2023 at an orthodontic office in Lancaster, Ohio. While working there, I attended a ten-week dental assistant program to further my education within the field and then found my home here at Associated Orthodontics! My favorite thing about my job is watching our patients’ confidence grow throughout their treatment process, because they feel more comfortable with their smile.
I consider myself a home body, so I spend a lot of my free time doing house projects with my partner and family. I love doing nails and I like to crochet when I can. I like a good crispy Dr. Pepper and I love ice cream!
Kelly
Treatment Coordinator
It’s so much fun to get to know each patient and watch how they grow and change as their smile changes. Every person becomes more confident and outgoing, smiling more often and not hiding their teeth while doing so. My days are spent providing patient care to our new patients to the practice. I work with them maximizing their insurance benefit, as well as managing payment options for their treatment. I want to make sure orthodontics is something everyone can afford.
I am a married parent of three children and a proud grandparent to five grandchildren, who keep me busy and entertained with all of their sports and activities. Family is at the center of my life, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with them whenever I can. In my free time, I love taking trips to the beach, going camping, and creating lasting memories with the people I love most.
Josie
Financial Coordinator
I began my career at Associated Orthodontics in 2017 as our financial coordinator, where I have developed strong skills in patient communication, organization, and creating a welcoming environment. I take pride in helping patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their experience. I enjoy being part of a team that helps create a comfortable and positive experience for everyone who walks through the door.
I've been happily married to my husband, Mark, since 2010. We enjoy spending our weekends boating, relaxing and making the most of our time together. We also share our home with our four-year-old dog, Charlie, who is a big part of our lives.
Kelsey
Scheduling Coordinator
I am an Ohio native and recently moved to the Dublin area. I want our patients’ experience with Associated Orthodontics to be as stress-free as possible, so I love finding the perfect appointment time that works with a patient’s schedule or confirming dental coverage someone might not have known they have. I am excited to see patients progress through their treatment, having previously gone through treatment myself!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy antiquing for old Pyrex, playing different trading card games like Magic the Gathering, and spending time with my family and two cats.
