Yvette
Office executive
Yvette helps “woman” the front desk. Her emotional intelligence and calculated, organized oration are quite impressive, given her tiny number of age. Yvette also comes to us well trained in the ways of the business side of dentistry. She will always be the one character that survives her thriller screenplay simply because she can run the fastest and the furthest. If you think you can pull a fast one over on her, you’re sadly mistaken, as she is far-sighted in one eye and near-sighted in the other. If you can, please share your stories of far-off lands and exquisite cuisine to ensure she always has a smile on her face when others enter our kingdom.
Whitney
Financial Manager
Lover of tacos, beach chairs, sunshine, & all things skincare. Even after 20 years in the dental field, Whitney has an insatiable passion for the business of orthodontics. She’s innately drawn to helping others achieve their goal of a beautiful smile and finding a way to make this happen for families. Her 2 daughters and Husband have supported her 24/7 dedication to being the cornerstone of Marc Allen Orthodontics for nearly a decade. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Whitney in their life, too.
Melinda
Treatment Coordinator
Melinda came to us with 26 years of experience in making beautiful smiles. We are blessed to be able to ask her to fill any shoes here at Marc Allen Orthodontics for the confidence that they gain is wonderful to see. I am a PNW native I moved to the east coast via Florida and now live in beautiful North Carolina. I enjoy the outdoors and look forward to exploring more of this state. I have 2 grown children that are my life. I have 2 grown children that are my life.
Rhonda
Lead Orthodontic Assistant
Meet Rhonda, our dental rockstar and clinic lead of 9 years and counting. Thirty-five years of dental expertise ensure top-notch service. She loves working with a compassionate and dedicated doctor and team obsessed with delivering perfect and flawless smiles every time! An NC native of the Charlotte area, Rhonda is a Tarheel through and through. She is married with a daughter and an overly pampered and chatty feline. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, camping, and enjoying the great outdoors.
Shawna
Orthodontic Assistant
Shawna has worked in many orthodontic offices from Chicago to Charlotte. She was brought in from retirement from Dr. Allen’s home during Covid to fill unfillable assistant spaces and hasn’t left. We had no idea she had a decade of dental/orthodontic assisting experience before we snagged her. We have welcomed her genuine Midwestern transparency and humility, her talents and gentle care, even with her being the Boss’s wife. Together, they have 2 daughters. They all love the beach and baking. Shawna’s purpose in life, other than being the best hugger in any room, is to be Dr. Allen’s chauffeur, to keep him grounded, on time, focused, and feeling loved, and she, without a doubt, loves every bit of that job.
Kimberly
Orthodontic Assistant
Kimberly goes by Kim, Kimbo, Jersey, Lady Gaga, or just Kimberly. Her identity crisis comes from being the youngest of 3 girls. Her parents still offer their condolences as well as dinner on a regular basis. Being an army brat, a child vagabond, we can count on Kimberly being able to talk to anyone instantaneously in hopes of a sincere, lasting relationship. At the moment, Kimberly is attending cosmetology school in hopes of bringing a new dimension to Marc Allen Ortho in the coming year or two. Ultimately, Kimberly, without a doubt, will be doing facials and cutting men’s hair in Bora Bora.
Pricilla
Orthodontic Assistant
Pricilla loves tacos, but she swears it’s not because she’s fluent in Spanish. Her mom’s anxiety for perfect teeth motivated her investment in her dental career. She comes to us highly trained in orthodontic assisting as well as in the pediatric dental world. Her love of human interactions can be seen with each patient. She loves her friend time as well as her time with her elementary school-aged daughter. We are still trying to show her the East Coast way is better than her West Coast training in life. Dr. Allen is happy he finally has someone who also loves listening and offering therapy to others and that he has someone who can definitely bring in an amazing, delicious dish for our team meetings.
