Meet the Team

Azz

Dental Assistant

I like working with our patients and helping each develop a healthy smile they love, especially the kids. I enjoy seeing the Invisalign® process and how pleased everyone is with their treatment and results. We have a relaxed environment, in which we all get along and help each other to make sure our patients have a good treatment experience.

I am a foreign-trained dentist, and am currently studying for my master’s degree in orthodontics, with a focus on digital orthodontics. In my free time, I love playing games with my two kids, traveling, and cooking. I also read a lot, like soccer, and enjoy watching American football and basketball.

Dawn

Front Desk Manager

I enjoy getting to know our patients and their families. I manage our front desk, so I get to see and chat with everyone who comes in. It’s fun to watch smiles grow and see how people change during treatment! Dr. Braun and my coworkers are caring and giving people. We all work hard to make sure our patients have the best experience, from initial consultation to beautiful new smile.

Outside of work, I enjoy time with loved ones, especially my spouse of 25 years, our three cats, and our dog. I love hiking, too, and traveling to the Smoky Mountains.

Maileen

Insurance Specialist

I like meeting new people and strengthening friendships with our patients and their families. As an insurance specialist, I handle all the paperwork for our patients, and make sure they are able to get the most from their benefits. We have an amazing practice; I think Dr. Braun and my teammates always put our patients at the forefront and we share a dedication to providing the best treatment and results.

I consider myself a happy person and like to show that to everyone I meet. I have a great husband and three amazing kids, plus a small dog we call Shadow. I love to craft and be creative, love to watch cartoons and Hallmark movies, and always try to see the good in people.
