Michelle
Front Desk Coordinator
Michelle left a job in education after 13 years and safely landed at Total Orthodontics. She had never worked in the world of orthodontia, but was not new to the world of high levels of customer service, nor to Total Orthodontics – both of her daughters went through two phases of braces at TO.
Michelle considers herself an expert (from a “worried mother stand point”) on everything from head gears to implants. She can truly empathize with patients AND their parents – she has been through the same process as you! Michelle pledges to make the treatment process a pleasant one for one and all.
Her daughters have now both graduated college and love their TO smiles! She enjoys empty nesting with her loving husband of over 25 years.
