Levon has many years of experience in orthodontics. Her career started in 1998. Her favorite advancement in her job has been auto-finance. “In my personal life I have all my bills on auto-pay and it makes things so much simpler, so it’s important to me that we offer that in our practice.” She has learned to love weeding (if it’s your own garden) and really likes being the “cool aunt” to her two brothers’ children.
From San Luis Obispo, Janelle graduated from Cal Poly and then completed a pre-dental program at PSU. “I have been leading middle schoolers through Young Life for years – watching them undergo orthodontic treatment. I realized that I could help shape a smile and a more positive self-image. I am excited for what TMO staff and patients will teach me.” Janelle enjoys hiking, road trips, and film photography.
Amy has been in the dental field since 2008, and an orthodontic assistant since 2011. She enjoys seeing patients' confidence grow as their teeth align. “Advancing my skills and applying new technology is always a goal of mine that we as a team apply here at TMO.” In her spare time, she enjoys running, reading, playing games and going on adventures with her husband and three girls.
