Brenda - Office Coordinator

During my time with Dr. Ries, I have worked as an Orthodontic Assistant, Financial Coordinator, Treatment Coordinator, and now the Office Coordinator.  Mine is the first smile you will see upon entering the office as I am positioned at the front desk. I pride myself on being able to find the answers to your questions and providing service that exceeds your expectations.  Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. My daughter, Brittany, and I have one pet at home, a Beagle named Molly.

Tammy - Treatment Coordinator

As the treatment and financial coordinator, I greet our new patients and walk them through their first visit. Following an exam with Dr. Ries, I will explain treatment recommendations as well as financial options. As you transition into orthodontic treatment I will help you schedule all your necessary appointments including any with other specialists. We have the best team around! We work well together and enjoy serving our patients. When I’m not in the office, I spend time with my husband, Jim, and our two puppy girls, Penny and Tillie.

Sue - Lead Orthodontic Assistant

Hello, I’m the lead orthodontic assistant and have been working for Dr. Ries for over 17 years! I love interacting with the patients one on one. It is rewarding to watch their self-confidence increase as their smiles are transformed. Dr. Ries is fun to be around with a great sense of humor. She is an outstanding orthodontist and the most reliable person I have ever met. The staff is an outstanding group of people who love their jobs. Every day is fun and the office has a great energy! I know you’ll love it here. After work, you can find me out having fun with my husband and two daughters!

Carissa - Orthodontic Assistant

As an orthodontic dental assistant, I take diagnostic X-rays, impressions and photographs. I also provide treatment information and quality care to patients.  Getting to know our patients personally, watching the changes, and knowing how much a great smile and healthy bite improves a persons self-esteem and quality of life makes my job gratifying.  At home, I spend time with my husband and our three daughters, twins Aubrey and Riley plus baby Sloane. We also have an American Bulldog named Colby!

Leah - Orthodontic Assistant

As an orthodontic assistant, it is my responsibility to educate the patients on their treatment progress and oral hygiene care.  I will help you pick out the color ties you want for braces at each visit.  I want to be sure your treatment is comfortable and you have fun here! I like to interact with patients and get to personally know details about their lives.  I moved here from Arizona to be closer to my family, who reside in Bellevue. My Dad is an active duty serviceman.  In my spare time, I enjoy dancing and spending weekends with my extended family.
