Our Team
Our fantastic team is critical to our success–and we mean it. We are proud of our team that represents Kragor Orthodontics. We would not be anything without these amazing supermen and women (yes they have been known to wear capes in clinic). Our patients benefit from the special expertise of each team member, and what they each bring to the table. Our goal is to make you feel like family from start to finish. We understand the value of working together as a team to give each patient the best orthodontic outcome possible. We strive to make sure every smile is beautiful at the end, and will have fun making you laugh while doing so! We have an impressive amount of combined orthodontic experience that will ensure you are treated with top notch care.
Ariel has worked in the orthodontic field for over 5 years. She began as an orthodontic assistant, but her outgoing personality and creativity quickly lead to her becoming a marketing coordinator. She loves staying up to date with the new trends that children and teens love, while ensuring we have a great relationship with our colleague dentists. She got married to the love of her life Stephan in 2018. When she is not working hard in the office, she is usually enjoying traveling, her puppy, and hanging out with friends and family. She enjoys music, trying new restaurants, and exploring new places.
Natalie has over 15 years of experience in the orthodontic field ranging from clinical assisting, to treatment coordinating, insurance benefits, and managing the office. Her favorite part of her career is watching patients’ smiles transform. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, and her pups! Oh and she loves cheering on the University of Tennessee (though Dr. Andy gives her a hard time for this).
Summer has over 8 years of orthodontic assisting experience. She has worked with amazing doctors all over the US as she has traveled a lot with her family. Summer’s favorite part about her job is answering challenging jeopardy questions (which she always gets right) during the clinic. She has a love for 80’s pop culture and can teach you a thing or two. When Summer is not perfecting smiles in the clinic, she really enjoys reading, volunteering at her church, spending time with friends and family.
Alison has worked in the orthodontic field for over 6 years. She is the first person you will see in the office, and will greet you with a smile on her face. She helps assists patients with scheduling and coorespondence and is an integral part of the team. If you are lucky enough to catch her on the phone, you will hear her smiling through the phone! When she is not at the office, she is surrounded by Y chromosomes at home with her husband Brian, and three sons Luke, Gabe, and Andrew. Don’t let her fool you though, she still has enough energy after chasing her littles around to run marathons and workout at Burn Boot Camp!
Teresa is another smiling face you will see when you walk in for your appointments. She is very organized, gets tasks done, and ensures our patients have accurate and detailed appointment matters. She has been in the orthodontics field for over 10 years now. When she is not in the office, she is spending time with her husband and 3 kiddos. But her favorites are her kitties, and mama bear comes out if you talk about her kitties! Be sure to ask Teresa about her littles. She is very proud that her oldest son just got married in 2019. She loves her daughter in law, and is so proud of all of her children.
Samantha is our newest orthodontic assistant. She joined us in 2019 and has excelled beyond our expectations. She is the one to assist you taking xrays, photos, scans of your teeth, and placing braces on. She is also bilingual and fluent in Spanish and English as if we couldn’t have it any better! When she is not being a master of all trades at the office, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family. She is a native to the Towne Lake/Woodstock area so you may see her out and about. Be sure to say hi to her!
