Meet the Team
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
Hello, my name is Jannette. I am a receptionist. I enjoy greeting and welcoming you to our office! I’m here to answer any questions to help you and your family on your orthodontic journey.
In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. One of my favorite places I enjoy the most with family to build great memories is Disneyland.
Konnichwa! My name is Karen. You may find me in the reception area to greet you and schedule your appointments, in the consultation room to guide you on your way to your new smile, or chairside to assist you as you go through your treatment.
Outside of work, I love taking my poodle mix dog, Chewbacca, or Chewie for short, with me as I enjoy life in Southern California. Chewie and I go to dog-friendly beaches and even visit some of our great local breweries. As you may have guessed, I’m a beer enthusiast and a Star Wars fan!
Hello!
My name is Mizuki and I am your receptionist! I answer phone calls, respond to emails, and support you through your orthodontic journey. I also had braces, so I love sharing my own experience with you. I’ve met wonderful patients here and am grateful to assist with their treatment.
In my free time, I like to try new food recipes I found on Pinterest. Last time I baked, I made Ube brownies and they were pretty good. Let me know if you have any good recipes. I would love to try them!
Hi, my name is Manami. I am a receptionist, and I look forward to meet you and your family. It’s such honor to be part of your orthodontic experience.

Hello, my name is Shummi. I’m a receptionist. I enjoy greeting everyone who comes to our office for treatment. Smiles bring people together and are contagious. I want to help everyone reach their orthodontic goals one smile at a time. I look forward to meeting you!
In my spare time, I like to go hiking and traveling with my husband and friends. So far, I’ve been mainly hiking on the West Coast, but I would like to travel to other places in the future.
Hi, my name Esme. I’m an orthodontic assistant. I love being a part of your orthodontic treatment and seeing your magical smile at the end. It’s a pleasure to have all the wonderful patients in our office.
In my free time, I love to travel and spend time with my family. I am a mother of a wonderful boy name A.J., who loves to play baseball. We travel for his games, which is something I enjoy the most.

Hello, my name is Margaret. My goal is to make your time in our office as successful and as enjoyable as possible. I love that when I’m out and about in the South Bay, I frequently see patients and parents, both current and from years back. I count it a privilege to have gotten to know so many wonderful people here in the past thirty-three years. We have many second-generation and even some third-generation patients!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, visiting art museums, and being outside in our (usually) great Southern California weather, especially at the South Coast Botanic Garden.
