My name is Sondra and I have been in the orthodontic field for 28 years. The best part about working in this field is watching the patients' smile change. We have a wonderful staff here at Tan Orthodontics, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of this team. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. My husband Dana and I have two daughters. Elyse is in the dental hygiene program at Western Career College and Lauren is in her second year at UOP Stockton, in the pharmacy program.

Hi, I am LeAnn; I have been in the orthodontic field for 15 years. I am known with the patients and my co-workers for my sarcasm. It's always friendly and in fun! I like coming into work and seeing our patients. The changes they make throughout treatment are amazing. When I am not working, I spend time with my husband Tony, my son Dakota and stepdaughter Carissa. We enjoy camping, boating and having friends over.

My name is Donna Shera. I work with the Tan Team as Patient Coordinator and Office Manager. I love helping people transition into our practice.

The best part of my job is to see satisfied, happy patients who relax because they feel so well cared for. I feel very fortunate to work in an atmosphere where there is laughter and fun with perfection and excellence.

When I'm not at work I enjoy my home in the Capay Valley with my husband Dave. Our home is our haven and the only thing that makes it better is when all seven of my grandkids hang out with us.

My name is Lindsey Arteche-Fletes and I have been a RDA for the past four years, and I think I have definitely found my niche with Dr. Tan and our wonderful team. What I love about being an orthodontic assistant are the great relationships that you build with the patients and their families. I love to see past patients around town and know that I was a part of that beautiful smile. I am a born and raised Woodlander, and I have been married for the past 4-1/2 years to Gustavo and we have two wonderful dogs named Fergie and Holly. When I'm not at work, I enjoy being outdoors with my family and friends.

My name is Barbara. I was born and raised in Woodland. I've worked in the dental field as an RDA for 29 years, fourteen of them here at Tan Orthodontics. My co-workers are like an extended family. What I love most about orthodontics is getting to know our patients and watching their smiles change. Outside of the office, I am usually with my husband Bill, spending time with friends and our grown children Brian, Melissa and Jeff, babysitting grandchildren, and camping whenever we can.

We all want to belong somewhere and here is where I belong, somewhat like a home away from home. I am a long time member of the Tan Orthodontic Team, my position here is financial Coordinator. My favorite part of working in the orthodontic field is seeing the smiles that we've helped to create over many generations.

Having recently moved to the Capay Valley, my husband Bart and I spend countless hours working on the ranch, and fixing up the house. At the end of the day, we find it most relaxing to sit and enjoy our view, along with spending time with our granddaughter Leticia.

Hello, my name is Katie Ball. I'm your scheduling coordinator, the friendly voice on the other end of the phone. I've been working for Dr Tan for 7 years. I'm very lucky to have found a great job right down the street from home where I live with my husband, son and daughter. I really enjoy working with everybody in the office and all our wonderful patients. It is fun to watch our patients grow and change with their beautiful new smiles. I love working for Dr Tan. He inspires us and creates a perfect balance between play and professionalism. When I'm home, I like knitting, yoga, cooking and gardening.

Hi! My name is Brenda Arteche. I joined the Tan Orthodontics team in 2008. As the marketing representative, it is my job to keep Tan Orthodontics "front and center" with our patients, and with our community.

My previous work with students, schools and the community provided me with the background to continually introduce the "Tan Orthodontics Experience". It has been my pleasure to be a part of this outstanding organization where the patient always comes first!

It was one of our major goals to grow our presence in the school system and Tan Orthodontics continues to support and participate in private and public schools at the elementary, junior high and senior high level in numerous ways.

I look forward to working with you in new and exciting ways as you get to know Tan Orthodontics.

Contact me if you have an idea in which we can support your school or community event!

Hello everyone! My name is Elisabeth Pizano. I am the newbie at Tan Orthodontics. I recently finished dental assisting school. My goal was to find a job in Woodland, where I grew up. Luckily, I found Dr. Tan's office and was offered an internship, and now I work here as an assistant. Since I am bilingual, I also contribute to the office by assisting our Spanish-speaking clients. I love to get involved and help patients throughout their treatment. Being part of Dr. Tan's team makes me feel very fortunate and part of a family. In my spare time, I enjoy going out with my family, friends and of course, my boyfriend, Gerardo.
