Meet the Team
Maria – Office Manager
I am Maria, and I am the Practice Manager at PhD Orthodontics. With over 12 years of experience in orthodontics, I have spent most of my career working as an Orthodontic Assistant, where I developed a strong passion for patient care and helping create positive experiences for every family we serve.
Over the years, I have expanded my role into office management and patient coordination, supporting both the clinical and administrative sides of our practice. I enjoy helping patients feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for throughout their orthodontic journey while supporting our team in creating a warm and organized environment.
Outside of work, I am a proud mom of three children and enjoy staying active with their sports and activities. I look forward to helping make your experience at PhD Orthodontics comfortable, welcoming, and enjoyable for your entire family.
Nina – Orthodontic Assistant
My name is Nina, and I am a Clinical Orthodontic Assistant at PhD Orthodontics. Before joining our team, I practiced as a licensed orthodontist in China prior to immigrating to the United States. With my professional background and passion for patient care, I strive to help every patient feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for throughout their orthodontic journey.
As a mother of two children, I especially enjoy working with kids and creating a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment for families. I love being part of each patient’s smile transformation and seeing the confidence a healthy smile can bring.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring new places together.
Nathan– Patient Care Coordinator
I am Nathan Hang, and I am a Patient Care Coordinator at PhD Orthodontics. In my role, I enjoy helping coordinate patient care and creating a welcoming, positive experience for every family who visits our office. Working closely with patients and our clinical team has inspired me to pursue a future career in dentistry, and I am excited to continue learning and growing in the field while supporting our patients throughout their orthodontic journey.
I value building strong relationships with patients and helping them feel comfortable and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors. Seeing the confidence that comes from a healthy smile is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
Outside of work, I enjoy going to the gym, playing badminton, and spending time playing video games.
