Meet the Team
When Office Manager Christina is not on the phone with your insurance company or corralling the Beaverton Ortho team, she dreams of her signature drink, “Hip Hop on a Tropical Beach." Inspired by her favorite music and favorite vacation spot, the ingredients are chocolate, a dash of chocolate, and a shot of chocolate. Garnish with chocolate.
Appointment Coordinator Cindy is one of the first people in our office you will meet, and she will quickly put you at ease with her calm demeanor. Rumor has it that Cindy is self-taught in several languages as well as a certain musical instrument...next time you call, be sure to ask about her talents!
Treatment Coordinator Tara will expertly guide you through the New Patient process and answer all of your questions about your treatment plan! Tara loves sharing the joy when patients’ smiles and personalities are transformed by orthodontics. She has two mottos “Always see the good in people,” and “I’ll do anything to avoid answering the door when a solicitor knocks!”
Orthodontic Assistant Kelley has enjoyed being a member of our wonderful team from the very beginning (we’re talking last century, folks)! Always willing to go the extra mile, Kelley is known as the office go-to gal. She's also been known to orchestrate some pretty awesome practical jokes!
Watch out for our master multi-tasker Marica! Somehow she manages to squeeze in all our supply ordering among her orthodontic assisting duties! If you hear laughter in the office, it's probably Marica! If you hear singing in the office, it's probably Marica! If you see dancing in the office, it's probably Marica!
Kim is a multi-talented Orthodontic Assistant who is also our X-Ray and Sterilizing expert! She enjoys harmonizing to the office tunes while truly connecting with her patients. Next time you’re in the office, ask Kim about her last Ren Fair, D & D event, or her 3-D artistic creations!
Our other superstar at the front desk is Brenna! Whether you call or meet her in person, you will instantly be impressed by Brenna's cheerfulness, caring, and always positive personality! She is also an expert on clear aligners, so if you want the truth about what it's like having them, Brenna's your resource!
If you have a retainer or other appliance, there’s a good chance it was crafted by lab tech extraordinaire Mike. Here at Beaverton Ortho, he is truly appreciated for his ability to reach things on high shelves as well as chair-sitting for extended periods of time without numbness or fatigue! If you catch Mike daydreaming, it may be because he’s either pondering the NCAA rules governing college football recruiting or the latest Supreme Court rulings.
This snappy dresser was destined to become an orthodontist! In addition to lining up your teeth, he also spends his spare time straightening office pictures, evening-out the distance between each reception area chair, and making sure the blinds are all opened/closed “just right!” Dr. Black is also the office “know it all” when it comes to music, so be sure to ask him what song is playing in his head the next time you’re in the office.
