Meet the Team

Creating beautiful smiles Every day

Meet Our Team

Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience

I handle all non-clinical aspects of the practice, including hiring of staff, payroll, and all employee-related matters. Most of my interactions with patients involve helping the front desk when they are busy. I love to meet new people and make sure they are having a positive experience at the office. I enjoy being able to work with my husband, Dr. Cassinelli, to make his practice everything he wants it to be!

We have three grown children — Elena, Jeremy, and Madison — three large dogs and a cat. We love to travel, go boating and watch college football. We root for Alabama and Ohio State! Roll Tide and Go Bucks!

Tracy

I enjoy meeting and welcoming patients into our office for the first time. There is such a feeling of achievement as I see the journey our patients make to a great smile. We take pride in the relationships we form with our patients and their families. Our staff is a great group who care about our patients.

I have three children, Taylor, Trista, and Colten. In my spare time I enjoy various outdoor activities including watching my son play lacrosse.

Bev
