Faith

Patient Experience Specialist (administrative)

I worked as a receptionist in a general dentistry practice for 12 years before becoming a patient experience specialist at Slack Orthodontics. With my position, I am able to greet patients with a smile as they arrive, schedule appointments, and answer any questions our patients may have. I like to make sure each person is treated with individualized respect. I love to see the happiness that a beautiful smile can bring to a person, and I am eager to make each of your visits enjoyable!

I have been married for more than 25 years. My husband and I like to be outdoors fishing, boating, and kayaking. I have two adult children, with whom I love to spend time. Any other free moments are spent running, reading, or relaxing on the beach with a glass of wine.

Carey

Treatment Coordinator

I have been in the field of Orthodontics since the age of 17 when I did a school internship back in Iowa! I started in the lab making retainers and trimming models. After becoming more interested in the field, I moved to sterilization tech, and then trained as an assistant. I moved to Florida in 1996 to escape the cold (so I guess I qualify as a Floridian now!), and have worked my way to position of Treatment Coordinator that I am in today.

I love Ortho and have enjoyed watching the patients transform over the years from being shy and not smiling, to confident and happy. In my spare time I love taking my 4 kids ages 22-5 on adventures and exploring places we have never been.

Logan

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant - Clinical

I completed my Expanded Functions Dental Assistant training in 2015 and have been working in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics ever since! Some of my most favorite memories were made visiting local elementary schools to teach the importance of dental health. As an orthodontic assistant, I love creating the transformation from #day1 to #dayDONE and getting to know each unique patient personally. It's awesome to see confidence grow as a beautiful smile is created!

Fun fact - I was a competitive gymnast for 15 years and even competed here in Port Charlotte at Horizon Gymnastics where many of our patients now train!  These days I enjoy my time outside of the office with my family. We enjoy boating, trail riding, & traveling every chance we can.

Aubree

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant - Clinical

In 2020, I graduated from Charlotte Technical College as a EFDA with honors. After graduation, I worked at a private general dentistry dental office in Venice and later at the DeSoto County Health Department where I became a lead dental assistant. I enjoyed working in the general practice but my passion is working in orthodontics. I really enjoy getting to know our patients as well as their families. I understand it's through these connections that we help build our patients' confidence as well as their beautiful smiles.

A few things about me; I held the title of 2019 Miss DeSoto County and in 2021 was crowned the DeSoto County Watermelon Queen. I like to spend as much time as I can on the water, especially with my family. I am a member of the Hospitality Team at Pine Level United Methodist Church, DeSoto County Project Graduation and the Arcadia Rodeo Association.

Kaycee

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant - Clinical

In 2022 I graduated from South Florida State College as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant and completed the Dental Assisting National Boards.  It was always a dream of mine to work in orthodontics and I'm glad that I acheived that dream with the most amazing team!  Seeing and helping patients gain confidence in their smiles makes me happy.  Having braces in the past myself has really helped me relate to patients and understand their needs.  The journey is amazing and I'm so glad that I get to be a part of it!

Fun facts - I love to sing and I was Junior Miss DeSoto in 2018!  I've been singing for as long as I can remember, and you might even catch me singing around the office!  In my free time I really enjoy spending time with my loved ones.  Whether it be going out or staying in, creating great moments and bonds is very important to me.  If I have other free time to myself, I enjoy binge watching my favorite shows and listening to music.  Music is a huge part of my life!
