Fay

Assistant Practice Manager

Hi, I’m Fay. As Assistant Practice Manager, it is my pleasure to facilitate a seamless, rewarding, and fun experience for our patients. I joined the STO team in 2004 and received my own orthodontic treatment here as well. I am available to answer any questions you may have throughout the process of your treatment and I am eager to help in any way that I can. On a personal note, I have two daughters (I can’t believe they are almost 30!), and one of them was treated at STO. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cooking, music, and knitting.

Ana

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hi, my name is Ana and I joined the team in 1995. I enjoy my job very much. What makes my job most enjoyable is seeing patients walk out with a beautiful and healthy smile. I was once a patient of STO and I know first-hand how great it feels. My new smile increased my confidence, which positively affected my life in so many ways. I treat new patients every day and hopefully one day I can help you achieve that beautiful healthy smile you’ve always wanted.
