Kari

Office/Financial Coordinator

I love that we have created an orthodontic office where our patients and families feel comfortable. We have wonderful staff members who focus on each person, making them the top priority during visits. At our office,I am our HR as well as accounts receivable and payables manager. I also maintain our computers and provide tech support for our digital X-ray and digital impression machines. It is a great feeling to have worked with Dr. Woods since 1990, keeping the practice running smoothly, so our patients receive the best care while achieving their new smiles!

As a child and young adult, I lived in different countries while my father served in the U.S. Air Force. Now, I live in Sandwich and enjoy the beaches of Cape Cod, reading, movies, and spending time with my husband, beautiful daughter, and friends.

Lila

Treatment Coordinator

During my day, I enjoy guiding our patients through the beginning stages of their orthodontic care. At all initial appointments I work with our patients and Dr. Woods to explore different treatment options to choose the best approach for each individual. I love seeing our patients so confident and comfortable with their smiles at the end of treatment. I truly enjoy being a part of each patient’s journey to a happier, healthier smile! When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Heather

Appointment Coordinator

My name is Heather. I joined the office in September of 2013. As the appointment coordinator I strive to make our schedule as efficient and convenient as possible for our patients. I enjoy speaking with and getting to know the patients and their families. It's fun to watch the kids grow up and see their beautiful smiles after they finish their treatment!

Jessica

Imaging and Insurance Coordinator

My name is Jessica and I joined the Woods Orthodontics team in September of 2015. I feel very fortunate to be cross trained in both the clerical and clinical areas of Dr. Woods' practice. Some responsibilities of mine include: greeting patients at the front door with the proper Covid-19 paperwork in order to maintain safety for our patients and staff, confirming dental insurance coverage, importing patient photos and x-rays from the initial to final stages of their treatment into our records, and assisting Dr. Woods in the clinic. It brings me great joy to send before and after photos to our patients once their smiles have been transformed!

When I am not at Woods Orthodontics, you can find me taking photos all over Cape Cod and spending time outdoors with my husband.

Kayla

Orthodontic Assistant

I enjoy building friendly relationships with patients. It’s fantastic to see how much each person changes as they get their new smile: they become much happier and outgoing! I make sure patients are comfortable in the chair, prepare them for their procedure, and work chairside. I also take diagnostic records and teach patients and parents about orthodontic and dental care. I love being part of creating a lifetime of beautiful smiles!

I’ve lived on Cape Cod my whole life. When not working, I’m usually with my young son and friends and family. I enjoy going to the beach, being outside, and laughing with others.

Melissa

Orthodontic Assistant

My name is Melissa and I graduated from the dental assistant program at Lincoln Technical Institute in 2013. I joined the Woods Orthodontics team in August of 2017. One of the most rewarding parts of being an orthodontic assistant is the happiness and appreciation our patients give us for what we do. We enjoy making people more confident in themselves. I am never too busy to stop and explain each procedure as treatment progresses so that patients have a full understanding of their orthodontic care. My coworkers and our easy-going patients make it a pleasure to be here each day and I love the relationships we create with each patient. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my cat Penny.
