Jacquie, Lab Technician

Hello!  I am Jacquie and I have been Dr. Ron’s lab technician since 1991 and have been in the field of orthodontics since 1987.  Working at Smiles is fun and rewarding.  When you visit our office, you will find smiles, laughter, and great conversations between Dr. Ron, the team, and our patients.  The friendships that we have made here are everlasting and it has been an honor to be a part of such a great group!  I have a deep respect for Dr. Ron’s ethics and his determination to achieve the best result for the patient.  I enjoy the challenge of tailor fitting each appliance to a patient’s specific need.  I am married and I am the mother of twins Kameron and MaKayla.  I enjoy scrap booking, stamping, and spending time with my family.  One of our families’ favorite activities is camping in the summertime in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  I look forward to working with you and getting to know you!

Jen, Clinical Assistant

Hi, I’m Jen, welcome to our practice!  I am a Clinical Assistant and have been working with our team since 2005.

Karen, Clinical Assistant

Hello, I am Karen, and I look forward to meeting you!  I have been a part of Dr. Ron’s team since 2000 and I am a clinical assistant.  I have fun everyday at work because of the strong team Dr. Ron has surrounded himself with.  We are dedicated to you and your result!  I enjoy working for Dr. Ron because for him, family is a number one priority.  I enjoy the challenges that orthodontics brings.  Because each patient has an individual treatment plan designed especially for them, the challenges are different every day.  It is so rewarding to see it all come together and have the end result be a beautiful and healthy smile that will last a lifetime.  I am married and have three adorable boys.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  I am also an avid runner and I have completed the Portland Marathon.
