The Bandeen Orthodontics Staff
Lynne is a North Carolina native who has resided in Michigan for 25 years. She lives in Battle Creek. She graduated from college with a degree in Medical Assisting, but prefers to work as an Orthodontic Assistant. Over the past 30 years, Lynne has enjoyed working in the field of orthodontics with several different doctors. She has been with Bandeen Orthodontics since 2000. Lynne is an experienced member of our clinical team, but she is also responsible for cephalometric tracings to assist in treatment planning, and she supervises our orthodontic records process. Lynne loves working with patients, getting to know them and watching (with pride) as their new smiles emerge. Lynne's daughter, Emily, has also been a member of our team but is now focusing on classes at Western Michigan University.
LeAnn comes to us from Coldwater/Union City. She has been in the dental field since the mid 90's. She has been with us at Bandeen Orthodontics since 2005. LeAnn is an essential member of our clinical team and also has responsibilities as managing our clinical equipment inventory. "The one thing I enjoy most about my job is meeting new people." Outside the office she enjoys time with her three wonderful children (and she loves horses - she's a cowgirl at heart).
Lois is our talented scheduling, insurance, and financial coordinator. She has been a warm, trustworthy member of our team at Bandeen Orthodontics since 2001. Lois lives in Marshall, is married to Philip, and has six grown children. She spends leisure time with her children and grandchildren (in their many sports and musical activities), and she enjoys traveling around the country. Her smiling face is probably one of the first you will see as you come into our office.
Lisa is a veteran clinical assistant who we are lucky to have on our team. She has worked for several orthodontic offices over the years and brings that knowledge (and a smile) with her to work everyday. She has been with Bandeen Orthodontics since 2010. Lisa is our clinical "go to" person for Insignia where she helps coordinate the process so that the doctors can establish your treatment plans with the aid of three dimensional computer modeling. She enjoys spending time with her children and husband, and she also lives in Marshall. Working at Bandeen Orthodontics is Lisa's "day job" - she sings with a kickin' country music band.
Trena plays a dual role at Bandeen Orthodontics. She is both a talented member of our clinical team and is also at our front desk where she works with Lois helping coordinate scheduling, insurance, and finances. She previously worked in dental public health. Trena has been with us since summer 2010 and has been an amazing addition to our team. She is from Battle Creek and enjoys spending time with her awesome kids and husband.
Amanda brings with her years of Dental Assisting experience and a bright and cheerful attitude. Amanda will spend most of her time here as a clinical orthodontic assistant. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband and little girl. If there is a rock concert in the area, she will be there...although she has been caught singing the words to some country music in our office!
Patty joins our team with years of experience in communication and customer service. She is our New Patient Coordinator, so any new patients will have Patty as their initial contact at our office. She hails from California and has lived in Battle Creek for 19 years. She is happily married with two children. In her free time she enjoys traveling up north to her rustic cabin and hiking or cross country skiing. She reports having the world's best bird dog and one cat. Patty is also the go to person in our office for music trivia!
