As the office and financial manager, my priority is to help in any way I can so that your experience in our office is a pleasant one. The relationships I have developed with our patients and their families over my 30 years working here are the main reasons why I love orthodontics. I am truly proud to work here as Drs. Kim and Sugiyama are terrific orthodontists. Both doctors are very knowledgeable and skilled in their field, and are very caring people. In our own way, we are changing lives here, one smile at a time! I am the mother of two children and spending time with my family and friends is the joy of my life.
Anne
As a registered dental assistant, my main priority is to work alongside our doctors in providing our patients with the highest quality orthodontic care, and always with a smile. I have been in the dental field for more than 17 years and have been a part of this amazing team for 12 years. Dr. Kim and Dr. Sugiyama are excellent orthodontists and the fabulous smiles we see at the end of treatment are a testimony to this. I truly enjoy getting to know all of our patients and seeing their smile transform over the years. Also, as a college instructor, educating future dental assistants is my other passion. In my free time I love to shop, travel, and spend time with my loved ones. I have a Maltese puppy that I extremely adore.

I am the office coordinator and a licensed RDA. I have been on this team for more than 12 years now and really enjoy working with all of our patients and their families. The wonderful smiles and happiness that result from the quality care our patients receive here are the main reasons why I love orthodontics. The combination of knowledge and experience along with our team’s commitment to exceptional patient care makes this a great place to be. I am happily married to Jim and am the mother of two grown children, Tyler and Kendall. Outside of the office, I enjoy reading, walking our dog named Riley, camping, and spending time with my family.
Tina
I have been with our team for almost four years now. Growing up, I have always had a strong interest in orthodontics and am so happy to be a part of this practice. I am a registered dental assistant and mainly work with our amazing doctors in providing treatment chairside. Both Dr. Kim and Dr. Sugiyama are fantastic at working with our patients, and we all have fun in the process! Everyday I take pride in helping people improve their self-confidence by creating beautiful smiles. On my days off I enjoy dining out, leisure reading, and turbo kick boxing. I also have a very cute poodle named Bella.

I work as a lab technician for the practice, and help make and repair various orthodontic appliances that our patients need to keep their smiles looking great. Our doctors and staff are very kind and friendly, so please always feel free to ask any questions you may have. I am originally from Japan. My husband and I moved to the United States in 1998, and we have two sons. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and doing Pilates for exercise.
