Sandra

I am our office manager and am responsible for managing the office, financial arrangements and insurance processing, patient consultations, and appointment scheduling. I greet many of our new patients as they arrive and give them a tour of our office to make them feel comfortable. I also inform them of the experience of our team has and all the fun things our office has to offer. My favorite part of my job is working with a very educated and caring orthodontist and a well-trained staff. I love seeing the results from our patients, how happy they are with their beautiful smiles, and the self-confidence they gain.

I have been married for 22 years to my husband, Ron, and we have two sons, Chris and Kevin. We also have three small dogs, Sasha, Roscoe, and Gizmo. My family and I enjoy boating, jet skiing, and playing in the sun and I love to do yard work.

 

Lana

 I am our clinical manager and it is my responsibility to ensure the clinical area runs smoothly throughout the day. As our clinical manager I have trained and continue to train our clinical team to ensure we are giving our patients the best possible care. We have a great team, with one goal…to provide the highest quality of Orthodontic care. Seeing a patient month to month, watching their self esteem grow as their teeth change into a beautiful smile is very rewarding and something I take great pride in. It is amazing what a great smile does to a person’s self confidence.

I began in the orthodontic field in 1985. I took a brief break to start a family but always knew I would go back to the field I love.My husband and I have been together for almost 24 years. Our life together is focused on our children and family life. We have four children; our oldest daughter is in her 3rd year of college and cheered on the Oakland University cheer team, our second daughter is in her second year of college and cheers for the Michigan State University cheer team, our third daughter is a senior and cheers for her high school, and our son is a Freshman, he plays ice hockey roller hockey. When I am not in the office you can find me at a hockey game, football game, basketball or any place my children are, we have a busy life but we wouldn’t trade it for anything.  

 

Marie

I am a treatment coordinator, and in addition to meeting and greeting new patients, I also monitor their insurance coverage and assist with consultations. Working here has given me so many great opportunities to meet a variety of interesting people and I love getting to know a little bit about each patient who walks through our doors. Dr. Kennet is a pleasure to work for; he treats every patient, young or old, with respect and concern.

I have been married for 15 years and have two step-children and two grandsons. We own one dog, three cats, two turtles, one crayfish and too many fish to count. My free time is spent with my grandsons, going to amusement parks, gardening, camping, and hiking.

Rene

As Community Relations Coordinator, I am responsible for building relationships within the community we serve. I work closely with area schools to offer educational presentations to their students and support them in their fundraising efforts. I also manage our practice’s Facebook page and website. When in the office, I meet many of our families when helping out at the front desk. I love being part of a team that shares the same focus and uses their individual strengths to provide exceptional service to our patients. I wouldn’t trust my children’s smile to anyone else but Dr. Kennet!

I am married with three children, and we also share our home with Cosmo the cat, Toby the dog, and Ming Ming the guinea pig. In my spare time like to read, cook, and hang out poolside with my family and friends. I am also very involved at each of my children’s schools and serve as President of the Chippewa Valley Educational Foundation.

Nicole

As a treatment and marketing coordinator, I am one of the first people you will meet when being welcomed to our practice. I educate families about orthodontic treatment, work with the doctor during the new patient process and recall visits, discuss financial options for treatment, and answer any questions families might have.  Providing our patients and parents with the very best orthodontic care possible and knowing we have made a positive impact on that person’s life that will last forever is the best part of working here. I also love being able to see the before and after results and how it improves patients’ self-esteem.

I currently reside with my husband, Brian, my son Josh and two step-daughters Kayla and Aana. We also have an American Bulldog named Otis and a mixed rescue dog named Camber. My time off is spent with my family and friends taking trips to our cottage, canoeing, and attending our children's sporting events.

 

Jody

As our orthodontic technician, I work in the clinic with Dr. Kennet and help to run the "Smile Shuttle", our school pick-up service. I love my patients and really enjoy getting to know them, whether they are kids or adults. I like to help people look and feel better when they come to our office. It feels great contributing to changing smiles and knowing what a difference we’ve made in the lives of our patients.

I am married to my husband, Jason, and we have three children, Olivia, Steven, and Stella. During the school year I play indoor soccer and in the summer I love to go out on our boat. We also enjoy water sports such as swimming, fishing, and tubing.

Kris

I am an orthodontic assistant, so I help to prep patients and assist Dr. Kennet during procedures. In addition, I help out in our Lab making retainers.  As a parent, I understand the anxiety a patient, and also the parent, may feel when starting treatment. I try to treat every patient with the best care possible, as I would like my own children to receive. I love to be a part of the process that enables a patient to achieve a new, beautiful smile, and to gain an added confidence. Coming to work each day never feels like work because of the fun, relaxed atmosphere created by Dr. Kennet and my wonderful co-workers.

I've been married for 11 years and we have three beautiful daughters, one of which has been a patient of Dr. Kennet's and one soon will be.  Also included in our family is a German Shepherd, Bubba, and two cats, Jack and Lucy. I enjoy spending time with my family and in my "down time" I love to read.

Kristy

As one of Dr. Kennet’s orthodontic assistants, I help him with all aspects of patient care, from making sure each patient is comfortable in our office to helping remove or place braces and appliances. I have a relaxing, friendly attitude which helps put each person I meet at ease. Working with Dr. Kennet is great because he is extremely patient and understanding and his patients are his top priority. Along with the rest of our team, I always want to see our patients leave with a smile!

My husband, Derick, and I have two children, Brenton and Trevor, and a Boxer named Tessie. When I’m not in the office, you can find me cooking, watching movies, practicing yoga, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with my family.

 

Tamica

As a treatment coordinator,I am responsible for answering phones, greeting patients, scheduling appointments and managing patient accounts.  I believe a patient's experience in our office should be comfortable and enjoyable.  I do my best to treat each patient individually and to provide each with the best customer service.  Being a very busy working mom of 6 and a college student, I fully understand scheduling concerns.  I like it when I can help make things easier by working with a patient's schedule.   Dr. Kennet is one of the most innovative doctors I have ever worked with.  He continues to stay on top of the newest and most effective treatments.

In my spare time, I am the First Lady of my own church and a college student studying to earn a bachelors in science.

 

Christine

As an orthodontic assistant, I work with Dr. Kennet during procedures and make sure that all patients are comfortable. In addition, I perform scans with our new digital IOC scanner.  This technology allows us to create an exact replica of the mouth using only the tip of a handheld wand.  The favorite part of my job is watching someone go through treatment and the seeing the end result of a patient walking out with a great smile.

I was just recently accepted into dental school at Detroit Mercy and enjoy working with Dr. Kennet because he is always teaching me new things about orthodontics.  Working and going to school doesn't leave much free time, but when I have it I enjoy spending time with friends and family.  Being a former college cheerleader, I also enjoy cheer.
