In addition to Dr. Shields's years of orthodontic excellence, our team has over an amazing 100 years of combined experience in orthodontics! This highly skilled team has accumulated nearly seventy of those years of orthodontic wisdom working right here alongside Dr. Shields. For practically any challenge that might arise, whether it's an accounting or a tooth problem, one of our talented team members has solved the problem before. These special ladies even teamed up for Susan G. Kolman Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, each walking a total of sixty miles and collectively raising $24,000. Dr. Shields is extremely proud of each of these outstanding individuals comprising our team.



Lin, Financial Coordinator
Lin has been with us for twelve years and sees her primary task as helping patients manage their investment in a beautiful smile. Linda stays busy being a mom outside the office and loves skiing, camping, and just
hanging out with friends.

Donna, Treatment Coordinator

Donna has been with us for ten years, two as a patient and now eight in the front office. Her public
relations experience was honed as a cheerful checker at Top Foods for the fifteen years prior to joining
our team. Donna creates stained glass art and enjoys reading and raising her four children.

Sonja, Scheduling Coordinator
Sonja has been with our team six years after we stole her away from Macy's based on Sonja's pleasant demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile for her customers. Sonja and her husband Tyler celebrated the third birthday of their son Keegan this past summer.  Sonja likes reading, camping, rollerblading, swimming, and any activity outdoors on a sunny day!

Sarah, Clinical Supervisor
Sarah has been with Dr. Shields for twenty-two years and is his own "Radar O'Reilly," knowing what Dr. Shields wants to do in the clinic even before he does! Sarah is the busy mom of three boys and keeps active teaching scrapbooking, following NASCAR, and camping.

Michelle, Lead Clinical Assistant
Michelle is a former patient. She has been with us for nine years as a Clinical Assistant - mainly so we can keep an eye on her to make sure she is wearing her retainers! Michelle has been learning how to golf, and she loves to wake and snowboard, read, and hang with her friends.

See Mae, Lab Tech
See Mae is originally from Korea and has operated largely behind the scenes sculpting beautiful plaster
models of our patients' teeth during the past eleven years. She is a masterful gardener and origami artist,
and of course, a busy mom.
