I graduated from Traviss in 2019 as a Certified Dental Assistant. Not only am I passionate about creating beautiful smiles, I take pride in knowing that I have played a role in helping people achieve confidence in their smile. Our teamwork here is amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and kind, and we all share the same common goal of treating our patients with the highest level of care.

I am a mother of two, and love to spend time with my family on my days off. Our favorite hobby is kayaking the rivers of Florida any chance we get.

I also love that my job is very hands on and allows me to see my patients' smiles change over time!

Jade

Jade

Orthodontic Assistant

I attended dental school abroad in 2010. After finishing my junior year, I came to the US and started working as an orthodontic assistant. I have had the privilege of working with experienced doctors in south Florida, New Jersey, New York, and now Florida. This experience has allowed me to gain great knowledge of a variety of orthodontic procedures and techniques.

I assist the doctors during orthodontic treatment, take medical records, handle orthodontic instruments, and give oral hygiene and appliance care instructions to patients. I enjoy treating patients, helping them overcome their fears, and making them feel comfortable and satisfied with their treatment. The doctors and the team at Scott Orthodontics have create a very nice environment with a strong focus on empathy and patient care.

My fiancé and I moved to central Florida with our 3-year-old boy, our two dogs and our cat. While I am still discovering our community, I am hoping to find a place to continue my tae-kwon-do classes. Our family enjoys spending weekend afternoons at a nearby playground where our son enjoys Florida's nice weather. On rainy days, I always enjoy a good reading, a nice movie, or spending some time crafting decorations with my cricut equipment. I love decorating events such as birthday parties, anniversaries, and baby showers.

At Scott Orthodontics since 2020, I assist the doctors with patient treatment and work hard to help patients feel comfortable during the process and being part of their journey to love their smiles. I really enjoy seeing our patients' transitions and progress throughout treatment. The best part is seeing their results after their braces are removed!

Outside of work, I love spending time with my children, fishing, playing at the park, and going to the beach.

I also help my team where I am needed in the office. I love working with patients, helping them start the process of treatment, and collaborating with my team to accomplish new smiles every day. I also enjoy working hands on in the lab and helping where I am needed.

I love working with my doctors and the rest of my team because we are not just a team, we're a family. We are always willing to help each other out. My favorite part about my job is seeing patients from beginning to end - the transformation. When their smile changes, their confidence grows. It makes me happy to work in a field where I can make a change in someone's life.

I have a daughter and a yorkie. On my days off, I'm typically at a theme park and if I'm on vacation you can probably find me in Puerto Rico. I love to travel and spend time with my family.

I assist the doctors in the clinic and help make patients comfortable while being part of their journey toward a healthy and beautiful smile. I oversee the lab to make retainers, Scott Aligners, and oversee all Invisalign® and appliances. There is nothing better than seeing our patients’ smiles transform from beginning to end and creating special bonds with them during their time here.

As an orthodontic assistant, I work alongside the doctors and assist with wire changes, bracket placement, and impressions to provide patients with the highest level of treatment in their orthodontic care. I started working in the orthodontic field right out of school in 2017, attended Traviss Technical College, and joined Scott Orthodontics in 2020. I love watching patients fall in love with their smile. We get to spend one-on-one time together, and I enjoy taking that time to get to know them.

Lindsey

Lindsey

Orthodontic Assistant

I have been a dental assistant and sterilization tech since 2016, and have learned so much from Dr. Scott, Dr. Jon and our team since joining the office in 2018. Every day I come to work looking forward to the patients I’m going to see and talk with. Each of them is unique and wonderful, and I love the conversations that happen while I’m assisting in their orthodontic care. It is rewarding to help people obtain beautiful, straight teeth.

When I’m not at work, I like to be outdoors and go to the gym. I’m always up for a challenge, whether it’s easy or hard. I stay determined and always want to learn more!

Business Coordinator

I earned my Bachelor of Science in public relations from the University of Florida in 2009 and brought my knowledge and experience to Dr. Scott’s office in 2018. I oversee our marketing and communication efforts. We have a dedicated and hard-working team that creates beautiful smiles, and it is rewarding to communicate such positive stories and results. I also manage our human resources, bookkeeping, and accounts payable.

There is a high standard of excellence in our office, and it is empowering to work among a group of individuals who share a common goal: to deliver the best result for our patients, and to make our patients like part of the family along the way.

I met my husband, Dr. Jon, during our undergraduate studies at the University of Florida. The greatest blessings in our lives are our two young children, Robert and Ellie. We also have a Golden Retriever named Lady and a mixed-breed rescue dog named Lucy. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, horseback riding, running, and almost anything outside to soak up the beautiful Florida sunshine.

Michelle

Financial Coordinator

I joined our team in 1999 as a certified orthodontic assistant, and also worked many years as a treatment coordinator. As our Financial Coordinator, I work with new patients to establish their payment plans and work with families regarding any financial questions. I am also the insurance coordinator and work with patients and parents to explore their orthodontic insurance benefits and file their claims to help minimize the out-of-pocket expense.

I have been happily married to Steve for 23 years, and we have two children. Our daughter has her private practice in Lakeland as a mental health counselor, and she and her husband just welcomed our first grandchild, Mackenzie. Our son is a college student at Florida Polytechnic and has attained his private pilot's license with hopes to become a commercial airline pilot someday. In my spare time, I love riding my motorcycle, camping on weekends and enjoy cooking for my family!

Working with Dr. Scott and Dr. Jon is truly a pleasure. They are two of the best orthodontists I've ever known, and their reputation speaks for itself. We all take pride in our work and care for our patients, and it shows. It's a wonderful feeling to be a member of this great team!

It has been my pleasure to help our patients schedule appointments and set up financial contracts. I enjoy greeting all our patients and look forward to helping make their experience the best it can possibly be.

I am happily married to my best friend Derek and we have two children, son Noah and daughter Riley. We have two bluetick hound dogs Bonnie Blue and Stormy June. We stay busy during our weekends as a family watching Noah’s travel basketball games, going on trips, camping, and going to the lake on our boat.

I assist our doctors chairside with almost all orthodontic procedures, placing and adjusting braces, working with Invisalign and additional orthodontic appliances such as expanders. I educate patients on how to take care of their braces or other orthodontic devices.

I love working with the doctors and team at Scott Orthodontics because they truly care about the overall dental health and comfort of their patients.

I am married to my best friend, Jake. We have a 13 year old daughter, Leah, and a super spoiled pup named Addie. We love the Florida lifestyle and can usually be found on our boat at the sandbar or at a local beach restaurant. I love spending time with family, traveling to new places, trying local restaurants, working out, and anything that challenges me physically.
