Rissa
Rissa brought her administrative skills and wonderful sense of humor to our orthodontic practice in 1996. She has two children who are (finally) out on their own and looks forward to those times when they are home. Just for herself, Rissa enjoys walking, shopping, reading and spending time with her husband, Jim.

Vickie
Vickie can lay claim to 17 years as a dental hygienist and orthodontic assistant at 2 Wall Street. She spent seven years in Bennington, Vermont, where she was employed as Office Manager for the practice of two general dentists. She returned to the Concord area in 2005 and joined the practice again to contribute to the administrative needs. She and her husband, John, like to spend time with their nephews, daughter and son-in-law who live in the area. At day's end, walking on the rural roads of Warner is great for unwinding as well as exercising "T-Bone," their Jack Russell terrier. And, as always, the familiar click of knitting needles is a sign she has another creation in the making.

Katie
Katie graduated from the Dental Assisting program at NHTI. She is a Certified Dental Assistant and also has a certification in Dental Radiology. As part of the NHTI program, Katie did one of three externships with our practice in June 2004 and joined us full-time in September '04, adding a youthful presence to our existing staff.
