Dr. Sapp’s has a team that is extremely energetic and dedicated to the best in orthodontic care. They have over 25 years of combined experience in orthodontics. All have had braces, so they can help with any questions or concerns you may have. Dr. Sapp and his team attend at least one continuing education meeting a year. This way everyone stays current with changes and new procedures in orthodontics. They just returned from the Annual American Association of Orthodontist in Seattle! Not only did they gain a lot of knowledge but a good time was had by all.   Deanne, Treatment Coordinator ~ I have been with Dr. Sapp since 1999. As a part of the Sapp Team I have a variety of duties. One of them is Treatment Coordinator with Kim I also help Staci up front with scheduling appointments and answering phones. I see you at your initial exam where we take your photos, x-rays, and present your treatment plan.  Mary, Orthodontic Assistant ~ I joined the Sapp Team in 2002. I really enjoy being part of the team, and helping our patients out anyway I can. When I'm away from the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and very energetic five-year-old son. My favorite procedure is putting braces on! I can remember when I had my braces put on and that was exciting! Hope to see you in my chair soon!    Staci, Front Office Coordinator ~ I am the first smile you see as you enter our office, and I thank Dr. Sapp for that smile! I was a patient of his when I was in elementary school! After graduating from South Puget Sound Community College I came to work here and love everyday! You can check in with me or use our high-tech, self check-in computer. I am also the last smile you see when I coordinate your future appointments as you leave. So don't forget to smile!   Joanne, Financial Coordinator ~ I've been a part of the Sapp Team since August 1998. I've been in the dental field for 30 years, first as a Certified Dental Assistant, then Receptionist/Financial Coordinator. I enjoy the financial end of the practice, i.e.; accounts payable, receivable, insurance correspondence, and financial arrangements. The most gratifying day comes when we see our patients flash their wonderful smile at us!   Angie, Orthodontic Assistant ~ I have been with Dr.Sapp since 2006. Prior to that I worked for an orthodontist in Port Angeles. I'm glad to be in Olympia and a part of Dr. Sapp's team.  I have a ten-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son to keep me busy when I am not having fun with the Sapp team!   Katie, Orthodontic Assistant ~ I first came to Dr. Sapp's office when I was 14. Since then I went to dental assisting school and completed my internship here, which turned into a full time position. Now I get to help create YOUR beautiful smiles! In my time off I enjoy playing with "the kids" (five dogs, two horses, four cats, two goats and 46 chickens) I also enjoy hunting in Montana with my boyfriend. Hope to see you soon.  Paula, Sterilization & X-ray Technician ~ You meet with me before and after treatment for your x-rays. I make sure all the instruments that are used in your mouth are constantly cleaned. I have been a part of the Sapp Team since 2003. My hobbies include playing drums, the organ, and fiddle every now and then. I look forward to meeting you and even more to seeing your beautiful smile when you are through.   Kim F., Treatment Coordinator ~ I started as an orthodontic assistant with Dr. Sapp in 2000. Prior to that I was a military wife and had the opportunity to work for orthodontist all over the world. I have recently returned to Dr. Sapp’s team as a Treatment Coordinator. Deanne and I will introduce and explain your orthodontic treatment, as well as monitor your progress. We are always here to answer your questions regarding treatment. Several times a month, I travel to other dental offices to help promote straight teeth and answer orthodontic questions.  Kim D, Lab Techninian~  I take impressions and make retainers. I have been with the Sapp Team on and off since 1999. My husband, one of my daughters and I are all rodeo champions. I have two wonderful little girls and a great husband.
