Our Staff

Our staff is a team of professionally trained, highly skilled individuals who are committed to providing you or your child with professional, yet personal, orthodontic care.

Dr. Kemnitz and each of our staff members are dedicated to our patients’ successful treatment. To stay current with advancements in orthodontic treatment, we attend continuing education seminars, conduct team meetings and in-office training.

We want to keep you updated and informed throughout the treatment process, and your questions are always welcome.

I love spending time with my three children and my precious grandson. I also love to cook, camp and ski. In my “spare” time I work to renovate homes.
