Karen – Practice Administrator
Hi! My name is Karen and I am the Practice Administrator responsible for maintaining superior patient service as well as one of the two treatment coordinators. My most important function in Dr. Champion's office is in the area of patient care. It is our goal to provide you with the best orthodontic result possible, as well as ensuring the experience along the way is pleasant and efficient. Any one of Dr. Champion's team members can answer any request or questions you have, but if you are not completely satisfied, I am the person to contact.
I am in my 12th year as a team member and have enjoyed every day. I have the privilege of welcoming the new patients to our office and preparing them for their examination. Once they have been evaluated for treatment by Dr. Champion, I can explain in "lay terms" what Dr. Champion has outlined for them in their treatment plan. In addition, I also assist our patients with their financing. We here at Champion Orthodontics realize we are in uprecedented times with our economy and want each family who wants braces for their children or themselves, have a way to make that happen. We are proud to offer no interest financing as well as a variety of finance options to meet your financial challenges.
The most rewarding part of my job is taking a patient – whether it be a child or adult – who may be fearful or has no prior orthodontic experience and removing their fears. I can address their concerns while giving them a full education in how braces work. I, as well as all of us at Dr. Champion's office, take enormous pride in serving all of our patients to what we consider beyond the highest standard of care. We look forward to seeing you and letting you experience this for yourself.
Sandra – Clinical Supervisor
Hi! My name is Sandra, and I am the Clinical Supervisor. I have been a part of our orthodontic team since February 2005. I graduated from Bear Creek High School in 1995 and graduated from Andon College in Stockton. I chose to work in the orthodontic aspect of the dental field because it gives me the opportunity to see beautiful smiles all day long.
In my spare time, I enjoy shopping, working out and playing with my dog, Ruby. In addition, family time is very important to me, therefore, I spend lots of time with my older brother and two nieces. We enjoy weekend barbecues, skating and swimming.
Anna – Registered Dental Assistant
My name is Anna and I am a registered dental assistant. I earned my degree at Modesto Junior College and have been working as an RDA for six years. The best part about working in orthodontics is getting to know each patient and helping him or her create a beautiful smile.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have an 11 year-old son and a 4 year-old daughter. Our family enjoys baseball and swimming.
Ross – Sterilization Technician/Operational Supervisor
Hi! My name is Ross. Besides Dr. Champion, I am the only man in our office. So without saying much, you can imagine how fortunate I think my life is! Seriously, I work in the sterilization department operating Dr. Champion's state-of-the-art, hospital-grade sterilizing units. Something I am very proud of!
In addition, I make Translucent Retainers in-house and am looking forward to expanding that aspect of my contribution to our office. I also serve as the Operational Supervisor, dealing with on-going maintenance and repairs of all aspects of our building. I'm even the guy who keeps the floors sparkling clean at the end of the day. I enjoy the interaction with the vendors, patients and fellow co-workers. It always makes me happy to hear someone talk about how professional yet comfortable our office is, and I'm even happier to know I am a part of making that happen.
In my spare time, I enjoy tinkering with computers, bike riding and cooking.
