Jan

Treatment Coordinator/New Patient Coordinator

I’ve been working with Dr. Sabatino since 1987 and have been in the dental field since 1973. I love every part of my job and enjoy positively influencing our patients’ lives by watching their smile transformation. Dr. Sabatino is a brilliant, caring, and ethical man, which is why I have remained loyal to his practice philosophy. He only wants the best for his patients and his passion for teaching has allowed me to continue learning every day.

I am a native of Indianapolis, Indiana and I married my husband, Phil, in 1973. I have two children, Scott, who lives on the Oregon coast, and Lindsay, who lives on the California coast. Phil and I love to travel and enjoy visiting our children several times a year. In my free time, I hike, kayak, and do outside activities. We have two rescue dogs and adore them.

Patti

Financial Coordinator

I’ve been the financial coordinator for Dr. Sabatino since 1995. I am proud to be working for one of the finest orthodontic practices with other fun, caring, and professional people. It is so gratifying to provide the ultimate experience and results for our patients. Dr. Sabatino doesn’t compromise to achieve the superior results in orthodontic care. Every day is different and each orthodontic case is special. My job entails providing financial services for the office. I also assist in running the operation of day-to-day functions for patients and staff. We are all like family and care for each other and our patients. 

I grew up in Wisconsin and moved to Arizona in my early twenties. I am the mother of three and the grandmother of three. My greatest joy is to be with my family. In my free time, I love to hike and read.

Jill C.

Orthodontic Technician

I have been in the dental field 36 years and began working with Dr. Sabatino in 1995. I take impressions, apply braces, remove braces, change wires, fit splints, and perform all aspects of orthodontic lab work. My favorite part of my job is working with our patients and making them smile. My work is my second family and I love all of them.

I am a native of Phoenix. My family and I are very active. We love to camp, boat, motor cycle ride, and razor ride (four wheeling). I have four kids and five grandkids so far. I also have a lot of animals. I love all sports and regularly do mud runs with my daughter, work out and hike.

Barbara

Receptionist/Front Office Coordinator

I have been a front office coordinator for Dr. Sabatino since 2005. I have worked in the dental field since 1972 with seven of those years as a dental assistant. I love our patients; they are the best. I enjoy interacting with them and their families while getting to know them during the course of their treatment. My job entails checking in/out patients, making appointments, ordering supplies, confirming appointments, taking messages, and many other office functions. The best part of my job is seeing the joy on their faces when their treatment is completed. I have known Dr. Sabatino for 35 years. He treated my three children before I went to work for him! Working with Dr. Sabatino and the team is like working with friends and family.

Although I was born in St. Paul, I have lived in Phoenix since I was two years old. I love reading, hiking, playing with my grandkids, traveling up north to Show Low, being with my family and going to the beach.

I am a native of Dickinson, North Dakota and currently live with my daughter Elly and my English bulldog named Marli. We like to travel when we can, go out to eat, watch movies, and go to football and basketball games.

Lora

Lab Technician

I have worked on this Team since 2007. In my job, I utilize special mechanical dental equipment to help Dr. Sabatino analyze the jaw function and tooth position of every patient so we can effectively demonstrate Dr. Sabatino’s treatment recommendations. As a lab technician, my primary responsibilities include taking molds, as well as creating slip-ons and positioners. The comfortable fit of orthodontic devices remains very important to our team. I enjoy working here because it’s like my second family. We all love and respect each other.

Born in CharIeston, West Virginia, I’m married with two kids; the oldest is going to college in Florida and the second is in high school playing football at Pinnacle. We love camping, traveling, and doing family things together. I enjoy volunteering at the high school for many of their functions. We have one dog as part of our family.

I started working in the dental field in 1995, and between 1998-2000 and from 2012 to the present I worked with Dr. Sabatino and the team. My job entails educating new patients about the importance of a healthy bite/occlusion and the components of a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. I present Dr. Sabatino’s philosophy in orthodontic care to our patients. I enjoy working with this team because they are loyal, hardworking and a fun group of ladies. Dr. Sabatino’s passion of achieving excellence in our patients’ treatment is an inspiration to me.

I started working with Dr. Sabatino and the team during 2013. I have worked in the dental field since 1996. My job entails greeting and seating patients, applying and removing orthodontic appliances, sterilization, radiographs and molds, and keeping inventory of clinical supplies. The favorite part of my job is seeing the confidence of our patients when they are finished with treatment and knowing that I had a part in their confidence boost. As a work family, we get along great and work together well as a team.

I was born in Ohio and moved to Arizona when I was two years old. I then moved back to Ohio when I was 14 and returned to Arizona in 2003. I am a mother to two teenagers and both of them have been treated by Dr. Sabatino. I fall in love with their smiles every day. We have two dogs, a Chihuahua mix and a golden retriever mix. I love to read science fiction books and watch movies.

I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico but have lived in Arizona most of my life. I started working with Dr. Sabatino and the team in 2013 and have been in the dental field since 1997. My job mostly entails directing the patient molds and radiographs. When I don’t have patients in my chair, I help the Team by performing various duties in clinic as an orthodontic technician. The favorite part of my job is working with the patients. I demonstrate that getting molds is an important part of their diagnosis. I also enjoy seeing the start to finish of treatment and the smile on the patients’ face when they have completed their treatment. I enjoy working with Dr. Sabatino and the Team because it feels like we are a family here. Everyone is nice and helpful.

When I have free time I enjoy traveling and spending time with my three year old grandson. My husband and I enjoy going to Arizona Cardinal games. We take care of a lot of aquarium fish (my grandson’s favorite activity) and we have two king snakes named Sparky and October.

My job is to do the wire changes, bend wires, and take direction from Dr. Sabatino so that the patient’s treatment results in perfection! My favorite part of my job is talking to the patients every day and seeing that they are so happy with their results when they get their braces off! I enjoy building relationships with our patients. Dr. Sabatino was my orthodontist when I was a kid so I feel like I grew up with everybody who works here. We all have worked with Dr. Sabatino so long that it feels like one big family!
