Meet the Staff
Tammie
Scheduling Coordinator
I greet patients with a warm and friendly smile as they come into the office and set up their appointments to fit conveniently into their busy lives. It’s a lot of fun to get to know all the different people that come here and watching their confidence improve as their teeth straighten into beautiful, unique smiles.
I am married with three children, three grandchildren, and a West Highland terrier named Lily. I enjoy spending my free time creating anything crafty, working in the garden, going to concerts and movies, and traveling.
Ann
Financial Coordinator
I set up our patients’ financial contacts, bill insurance companies, and handle any account questions our patients have. I usually interact with parents the most, but I make sure to visit our clinical area to say hello to the kids, too. Dr. Brown is the best at creating beautiful smiles. He is such a perfectionist in all that he does and it shows in the quality of results our patients achieve.
I have been married for 23 years with two teenage daughters and an Australian shepherd. I am an avid Oregon Ducks fan, support local youth sports, and love to travel and spend time with my family.
Shan
Treatment Coordinator
I am responsible for welcoming in our new patients to the office and presenting their treatment plans and financial options. It is my goal to make each patient feel like a member of our family when they come to the office. I really like helping people to get started on their orthodontic adventure and seeing their beautiful smiles at the finish.
My husband, Rich, and I have been married for 34 years. We have two adult children and two amazing grandchildren who my husband and I love to travel to see. I also enjoy knitting when I get the chance.
Jenny
Orthodontic Assistant
I assist Dr. Brown chairside with patient care. My favorite thing is taking braces off and seeing our patients’ new, straight smiles for the first time. Even though we're very serious about providing excellent orthodontic care, we always find time to laugh with each other and our patients. Sunnyside Orthodontics is a great place to work!
My husband, Jim, and I have two sons, Paul and Liam. I am the President of my son’s elementary school’s PTO, I love Jazzercise, and am involved in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
Tiffanie
Orthodontic Assistant
In addition to assisting Dr. Brown in the clinic, I also work as a treatment coordinator when needed. I like to have fun and create a lighthearted, relaxed atmosphere for our patients while making sure they are as comfortable as possible. It is so wonderful to see our patients’ smiles transformed because of the work that we do.
I have been married to my husband for 12 years. We have three children, a wonderful dog, and a goldfish. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, scrap-booking, baking, and supporting my community through charitable events.
Jodi
Orthodontic Assistant
I assist Dr. Brown in creating beautiful smiles for our patients. I enjoy getting to know them and making them feel as comfortable as possible during their treatment. The best part of working here is seeing our patients’ smiles transform, as well as their confidence increase.
I have an amazing husband, a cat named Zoe, and a pug named Gus. I love spending time with my family and friends, camping, being outdoors and of course, shopping.
Terri
Orthodontic Assistant
As one of Dr. Brown’s chairside assistants, I like to make our patients feel comfortable while they’re here and leave knowing that they received the best possible care. I enjoy the relationships I’ve created with our patients and their parents and could not imagine working with a better team.
My husband, Stephen, and I have two children, Jasmine and Madison. I enjoy camping, traveling, and spending time with my family when I’m not in the office.
Mindi
Clinical Coordinator
I coordinate the flow of our clinic, train and coach our staff, and oversee clinical procedures, protocols, and goals to ensure we’re providing the best care to our patients. I love building friendships with our patients and their families by getting to know all about their lives and interests outside our office. Our team loves to laugh and make our patients’ experience in our office as fun and exciting as possible.
When I have free time I enjoy camping and taking summer vacations with my family. I am also a basketball coach and a board member of a youth basketball league.
Connie
Lab Technician/Assistant
I am responsible for the creation of our patients’ appliances and study models, and assist Dr. Brown in the clinic when necessary. I love seeing our patients’ happy smiles when they finally get their braces off and I give them their retainers to keep their smiles looking great. We have so much fun in this office that it hardly seems like work!
My husband and I have been married for 34 years and have two married children, a cat, and a dog. In my free time I like to sew and work in my garden.
