Joanne
Receptionist
I can be found at the front desk greeting new and existing patients, answering questions over the phone, scheduling appointments, and making sure the office runs smoothly. I joined Dr. Engleman in 2003 and have enjoyed working with our team to help improve the lives of our patients. It is so wonderful to meet so many interesting families and get to know a little bit about them. Dr. Engleman truly loves her profession and her caring attitude is contagious!
My husband and I have four children, all of which were treated by Dr. Engleman with amazing results. In my free time, I enjoy walking and going to the movies.
Jackie
Patient and Financial Coordinator
It is important to me to keep our patients happy from start to finish by providing the highest level of customer service in coordinating appointments, insurance, and financial arrangements. My favorite part of my job is meeting new people everyday and helping to create beautiful smiles. I love watching our patients’ confidence grow as their smiles improve. Dr. Engleman always puts her patients’ needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. Most importantly, she gives her patients one-on-one attention at every visit and is 100% dedicated to her practice.
My husband, John, and I have been married for 25 years. We have two grown children, Kayleen and Kyle. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and good friends. I enjoy working out at the gym, playing golf, and traveling.
Joyce
Certified Orthodontic Assistant
I started my career in the dental field in 1980, joining Dr. Engleman’s team in 1998. I assist with placing appliances, adjusting wires, and taking diagnostic records. I enjoy working with and getting to know so many unique people of all ages. It’s exciting to see a patient’s final result of a beautiful, one of a kind smile! Dr. Engleman is second to none. She genuinely cares about our patients and really takes the time to keep them informed of their treatment progress. She creates a stress-free environment, which in turn, creates a rewarding experience for patients and employees alike.
I live with my husband, teenage daughter, and golden retriever. I enjoy boxing, biking, hiking, and visiting Lake Michigan beaches. I also love to cook and spend quality time with family and friends.
Bisma
Orthodontic Assistant
I assist Dr. Engleman with patients, take and develop X-rays, sterilizing equipment, take impressions, and open and close the office. Before joining Dr. Engleman in 2007, I volunteered at my uncle’s clinic and have enjoyed learning more about the orthodontic field since coming here. My favorite part of my job is the people I work with; they are the most amazing group of people! I look forward to seeing them every day I go to work. Dr. Engleman is the most amiable and caring doctor I have ever met; she puts her employees and patients first. She makes the clinic a warm and inviting environment for all.
I live with my mom and dad, whom I love very much, and have two siblings, a brother and a sister, who I never get bored with! Currently, I’m a junior at Benedictine University, so when I’m not working, I’m usually studying or spending time with friends and family.
Danielle
Orthodontic Assistant
I assist Dr. Engleman with chairside procedures, including placing braces, taking impressions and X-rays, and making sure our patients are as comfortable as possible. I really enjoy our patients. Being at this office for the past ten years has allowed me to really get to know some of the patients quite well. I love talking to them and getting to know about their lives. It is amazing to see the progression of their treatment and their confidence. There is a tremendous amount of mutual respect between Dr. Engleman and the rest of our team. She is an awesome person and a great doctor who creates a wonderful work atmosphere.
My husband, Lance, and I got married in 2008. We have a dog named Sadie and a very large extended family on both of our sides, and we are very close to them all. Aside from working at the dental office, I work at a day care and just finished work on my Master’s degree in Teaching. I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking, and reading, and am a huge fan of music and attend a lot of concerts.
Kasia
Certified Orthodontic Assistant
Since 2005, I have enjoyed working as an assistant for Dr. Engleman. I assist with patient care, procedures, sterlizing instruments, taking digital X-rays, and impressions as well as doing inventory and computer work. The best part of working here is knowing that I can come to a stress-free environment with friendly people. It is always amazing to see the before and after of our satisfied patients! Dr. Engleman is an excellent orthodontist, giving each patient sufficient time and detailed attention. She is thoughtful and accommodating to everyone's needs; treating all the staff members as family. No matter how busy we may get, she is the picture of serenity.
In my free time, I enjoy cake decorating, photography, interior design, remodeling, and painting. I am actively involved as a Bible educator and missionary in my local community, and have traveled to teach in Central American countries such as Belize and Mexico. This brings me the greatest satisfaction and joy in life!
Meredith
Certified Orthodontic Assistant
I assist Dr. Engleman in patient procedures, prepare and educate patients on how to care for their braces and appliances, take any necessary X-rays and impressions, and make Essix retainers. My career in orthodontics began in 2007 when I joined Dr. Engleman and her team. My favorite part of my job is seeing the progress that the patient has made by the end of treatment. It is great to see how happy they are with the end result. I really enjoy working with Dr. Engleman because she is very passionate about her work and about people. She wants her patients to have the best outcome with the best care. I feel good knowing I have a part in helping her accomplish that.
Outside the office, I like to spend time with my family and friends, do volunteer work as a Bible educator, cook, play sports, dance, and read. I also have four cats: Tigger, Comet, Jasmine, and Whiskers.
