Katie

Hi, I'm Katie! As a certified orthodontic assistant, I'm part of the clinical team that will help create your new smile. I assist Dr. Godwin with patient care, perform lab work, and do whatever I can to keep patients smiling. There is never a dull moment in our office. We are always trying to make things fun and interesting, and I get to learn something new every day. I believe that a beautiful smile can be life changing, and I'm proud to be part of a team that creates amazing smiles every day.

At home, I take care of several fur babies, one being a crazy rotti doodle. I try my best to live the life I love, and love the life I live!
