Bal
Certified Dental Assistant
I began my career more than 35 years ago, when I earned my certification in dental assisting and completed an orthodontic module to enable me to work in orthodontics. Since joining Chilliwack Orthodontics in 2009, I have really enjoyed getting to know our patients while working alongside our doctors and the rest of our team. Whether I’m assisting during a procedure or doing wire adjustments, I feel fulfilled knowing that I’ve made a difference in our patients’ lives and smiles.
I am married with two adult children and a puppy. I love being outdoors, hiking, walking, gardening, and most important, traveling!
Cheral
Treatment Coordinator
Starting my dental career in 1998, I joined Chilliwack Orthodontics in 2019 as our treatment coordinator. This involves assisting the doctors with orthodontic consultations and providing the patients with details regarding finances, insurance, and scheduling of their treatment. I enjoy the personal interactions I have with all the great people who come into our office, and seeing them leave with the smiles they’ve always wanted.
At home, I have a wonderful husband and amazing daughter who keep me very busy. We love hiking and exploring all the beautiful areas in our city.
Dinah
Front Desk
It has been my pleasure to work in the administrative side of orthodontics for nearly four decades, the most recent dozen of which have been here at Chilliwack Orthodontics. I am one of the first people our patients meet when they come into the office, so I’m always sure to wear my smile! The Chilliwack area is a wonderful community full of amazing people, and I love that I get to interact with so many of them here.
My husband Craig and I have a daughter Sydney, and a dog Baxter, who loves to go hiking with us! We also enjoy camping, backpacking, and snowshoeing. I love this community and often volunteer at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and on the board for the Surrey Festival of Dance.
Julie
Certified Dental Assistant
I earned my CDA diploma in 1999, followed by training to specialize in assisting for orthodontics. Having worked here since 2017, I have had a chance to meet so many people and see their lives transformed through orthodontic treatment. Our office is full of wonderful people who treat one another with respect and kindness. I am fortunate to call them my friends!
I have a beautiful daughter who’s the light in my life and have been happily married for more than 15 years. My husband and I love jumping into a vehicle and going for a drive, most of the time in the mountains. I love quiet nights with a glass of wine, good movies, long walks with my husband and our little dog, and of course, hanging out with family and friends.
Linda
Certified Dental Assistant and Treatment Coordinator
I love working in orthodontics, so much so that I’ve done it for more than 40 years! I’ve spent almost ten years here at Chilliwack Orthodontics, and each is better than the last. I love working with a team that is so dedicated to creating wonderful smiles with great outcomes for a lifetime. Best of all is seeing so many patients happy with the care they’ve received!
I have two adult children I am very proud of. I love the outdoors and enjoy all kinds of activities. Most recently, I’ve taken up hiking, snowshoeing, and riding my bicycle.
Tanya
Certified Dental Assisting
I joined Chilliwack Orthodontics in 2010 with 17 years of experience in reception and both pediatric and orthodontic assisting. I feel lucky that I get to work with such wonderful doctors who do fantastic orthodontics! I know that our patients and their smiles are in great hands!
My husband and I have two kids — a daughter and son — and a very cute Goldendoodle named Duke. We love to spend time outdoors and can most often be found in the backyard or a lake in the summertime. I love to experiment with cooking and make new recipes, and all who know me well know I love my baked treats! In my free time, I run a small home business that I absolutely love as well.
