Courtney
Hello, and welcome to our practice! I am an orthodontic clinical assistant, and I help Dr. Russell with all of the procedures. I also assist him in putting on braces and taking them off. I enjoy making patients feel comfortable and happy, and watching our younger ones grow up right in front of me! Dr. Russell is patient and understanding and he is excellent at creating beautiful smiles. At home, I have a wonderful husband and one cat. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, being outdoors, and going to the movies.
Jenny
Hi there! I work for the front desk scheduling new patients, assisting patients with appointments, and verifying insurance coverage. I love meeting new patients and interacting with patients. Dr. Russell genuinely cares about his patients and his employees, and that makes being part of Russell Orthodontics really special! When I'm not in the office, spending time with family, including Patrick, Harper and Cato!
Lynne
Hello! As the Treatment Coordinator, your initial visit will begin with me! I work with Dr. Russell to help guide you through the beginning steps of your orthodontic care. Working in the dental field for 10 years, the most rewarding part is not only seeing the transformation of a great smile, but also watching the confidence it brings to our patients. Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my husband, Lenny and our three children, Lenny, Emily and Max…our dog Sally too!
Marilyn
Hi, it's nice to meet you! I work in clinical administration, and I assist Dr. Russell by taking care of and refining the administrative operations of the office. I enjoy interacting with our patients and watching their elation on the day their new beautiful smile is unveiled! Dr. Russell's genuine concern for his patients' physical and emotional well being is obvious every day. My family includes my husband, Jon, my daughter, Morgan, who attends UGA, and my son, Kyle, who is a graduate of UGA.
Sheryl
As an orthodontic assistant, I help Dr. Russell wherever I'm needed. I have been working with Dr. Russell since 2007, and in orthodontics since 2001! The best part of my job is building relationships with the patients and their families. I also enjoy watching our younger patients mature as their smiles grow! Dr. Russell is overall awesome not only as an orthodontist, but also as a person. He is very caring and detail-oriented. I have a wonderful family, including my fiancé, Ben, and my beautiful daughter, Morgan, as well my wonderful mom!
Trish
I am an orthodontic clinical assistant who aids Dr. Russell with many tasks including placement and removal of appliances. I have 27 years in the orthodontic field. I love creating a personal relationship with all the patients and seeing them grow with a great smile and working with a wonderful staff. Dr Russell is a “straight shooter” who is very genuine and caring with his patients. I share my life with my husband of 24 years. I have one son, Conner, in college and Ian in 10th grade. We share our home with dogs, horses, goats and chickens.
