Dana

Front Desk Assistant

I started working for Orthodontic Specialists in October 2008. I was a dental assistant for 15 years and have always enjoyed working in the dental profession. My favorite pastime is shopping, along with bike riding, long walks with my dogs and spending time with family. The best part of my job is getting to know our patients and seeing their beautiful smiles when they get their braces off. I believe this is something that lasts a lifetime, and the end results are amazing.

Dawn

Scheduling Coordinator

I joined the practice in the fall of 2001. Lakeville is home for me, my husband and three children. In my free time I enjoy power walking, knitting, gardening, loving my kitten and spending time with my family. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and appreciate all the beautiful smiles we see daily.

Gerrie

Front Desk/Clerical Coordinator

A native New Yorker, I joined the team in April 2003. Before relocating to Minnesota I worked at an orthodontic practice in New Jersey for four years. Prior Lake is now home for my husband and I. We have one grown daughter who resides in North Carolina with her family. Concerts, the theater, traveling, working out and spending time with family on the East Coast are some of my favorite things. Committed to providing a positive experience each time you visit our clinic or call our office, I believe a beautiful smile is our gift to our patients.

I love getting to know each of our patients, and I am always willing to go that extra mile to meet our patients' needs.
