Anne

FRONT OFFICE

Anne has lived in the area all her life. She has been working in the healthcare and dental industry for a decade, and has been on the team at Algonquin Orthodontics for nearly half that time. She loves getting to know her patients and families, but most importantly, she loves seeing patients’ smiles transform.

When she’s not working, she enjoys boating, fishing, and spending time with her husband, three kids, and her two dogs!

Fun fact about Anne: She has a photographic memory; she can remember everything about you!

Denise

ORTHODONTIC ASSISTANT

Denise has been an orthodontic assistant for more than 15 years, and has been working with Dr. Shammaa for the last few. Denise finds her work as an assistant to be very rewarding. Seeing patients finish treatment and gain so much confidence is the best part of her job.

When she is not helping make beautiful smiles, she loves being active and is quite a water bug. She enjoys hanging out in her pool or at the beach with her husband and two kids!

Fun fact about Denise: She is a computer breaker; she can break any software in five minutes!

Becky

ORTHODONTIC ASSISTANT

Becky has been working as an orthodontic assistant since she graduated First Institute’s dental assisting program half a dozen years ago. She began her career working here at Algonquin Orthodontics and has loved getting to know all her patients. She takes pride in making each patient feel comfortable and confident during treatment, and to be able to watch them take on a whole new confidence at the end of treatment!

Becky speaks English and Spanish. She is married with three young kids. When she’s not working, she loves shopping and spending time with her family.

Fun fact about Becky: You will not find her without a Starbucks coffee in her hand!

Ellie

ORTHODONTIC ASSISTANT

Ellie has been an assistant for several years and has extensive on-the-job training. She enjoys waking up and going to work every day to help Dr. Shammaa and our team make beautiful smiles. Most of all, she loves seeing how happy patients are when their treatment is completed.

Outside of work, Ellie enjoys spending time with her family, riding horses, and being outdoors.
