Meet the Staff
Get to know our great team!
Brandi
Welcome! I’m the new-patient coordinator, and my job is a blast! I get to meet new people every day and introduce them to our wonderful practice. If we find through the initial exam that the patient isn’t ready or is too young for treatment, I get to see them on a regular basis until they are ready. Outside the office, I spend time with my two daughters, Riley and Taylor. I love shopping, going to the beach, and hanging out with my girls!
Jeanne
Hi there! I’m the appointment coordinator here. Dr. Buttram is a great person to work for because he is so easy going, yet a perfectionist when it comes to his job. Everyone here is really fun, and we love to make our patients smile! When I’m not at work, I love to spend time with my husband, Mike, and our two kids, John and Danielle. I also enjoy going to church, hanging out at the beach, running, and working out.
Melissa
Welcome! I work as the financial coordinator for our office. We believe that getting a great smile shouldn’t have to break the bank. I love working with our patients to figure out the best payment plan for their budget and lifestyle. I meet a lot of great friends here, and am always ready to chat with our patients! My family includes my son, Josh, who is a boat captain in the Gulf of Mexico. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym or the beach, fishing, listening to live music, and snorkeling!
Kayla
As the insurance coordinator, I contact insurance providers on behalf of our patients. I think it’s very important for patients to get the most out of their insurance coverage, and I do everything in my power to make that happen. I love interacting with our patients and making them feel at home. In my spare time, I love to hunt! My husband, Jesse, and I have four dogs, and we enjoy being outdoors as often as we can, especially during deer season!
Brianna
Hello, it’s nice to meet you! I’m an orthodontic assistant for Dr. Buttram, and I assist him with anything he needs. From getting patients started in treatment to seeing their beautiful smile as the end result, my job has a lot of great moments! I also get to build connections with some awesome people during their treatment. Catching up with our patients always makes my job interesting. In my spare time, I love to relax on the beach, shop, or ride my bike!
Jamie
Hi, it’s nice to meet you! I work as an orthodontic assistant in our practice. In addition to helping Dr. Buttram, I also place and remove archwires, and take X-rays and impressions. It is my responsibility and pleasure to welcome patients and make them feel comfortable at their appointments. My favorite part of my job is the end result my patients gain, a confident smile! At home, my husband, B.J. and I have two daughters, Addison and Jada. In my spare time, I enjoy boating, shopping and most of all, spending time with family and friends!
Laura
Hello and welcome! As an orthodontic assistant, patient care is my highest priority. I want to make sure each visit is a positive experience, so our patients want to come back again and again! Observing patients during treatment is an amazing thing, as we get to see their smile change and their confidence grows! At home, my husband, Kent, and I have a son named Nick and a daughter, Haley. I enjoy going to the beach, golfing, and saltwater fishing.
Stephanie
Hi, I’m the records coordinator, so I take X-rays and photos for new patients, as well as initial records and impressions for appliances. The best thing about my job is that I get to meet some wonderful people each and every day! I love interacting with both our patients and their parents, and getting to know their lives. When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my husband, Anthony, and our two wonderful kids, Kaleigh and Kristian. My hobbies include shopping, going to the beach, fishing, riding four-wheelers, and spending time outdoors.
Kristina
Hi there! I’m an orthodontic assistant for Dr. Buttram, and I enjoy the close connections made with patients every day. I love being there during treatment, and being able to experience their joy when they see their new smile! In many patients, a beautiful smile goes hand in hand with new self-confidence, and that is an awesome thing to see. Everyone who works here is friendly and outgoing, and we know you’ll have a blast visiting us! When I’m at home, I spend time with David, my husband, and our two dogs, Roxy and Natty. I also enjoy going to the beach, traveling and being outdoors!
