Tammy

I have been in the dental field for 29 years and enjoy it so much. I have been with Dr. O’Donald’s team for almost 19 years. I work with some great people and I think we create a great atmosphere and family bond with our patients.

In my spare time I love to bike and exercise and enjoy outdoor activities with my husband. I have two adult children and 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. I love spending the summers at the lake with them and making memories.

Lori

I feel very privileged to be working with the staff of Dr. John O’Donald and team. I have over 19 years of experience in the dental field and appreciate every aspect of this office from the advanced technology to the team orientated atmosphere. In 1996, I started working as a dental assistant and developed a strong passion toward the dental profession. I pursued my education and earned my Associates in Science of Dental Hygiene from Ferris State University in 2002. I have since enjoyed practicing dental hygiene in every aspect and found it both rewarding and fulfilling until 2011 when my health took a turn. Although I am no longer able to practice dental hygiene and miss it dearly, I am thankful to be helping the administrative team.

When I am not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband Jason, and our three children, Keagan, Kyleigh, and Kamdon. Although I am a Northern Wisconsin native, I have resided in Michigan for the last 20 years. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, shopping, watching football, and reading.

Katie

I have helped people achieve healthy smiles for 31 years, 7 of them with this amazing dental team at Dr. O’Donald’s. Building relationships, making people feel special and welcome and helping them achieve their smile goals is my specialty.  Insurance is my calling and I enjoy helping make dental affordable as well as fitting into a budget.

I am happily married to my best friend. We have 3 beautiful adult children and 6 amazing grands who light up our life. We recently moved to our dream home on the Muskegon River, where we enjoy the great outdoors, boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming. We are huge sport fans! Love family game nights.  My passion is flower gardening and turning my yard into a paradise. Lastly, we are very patriotic and enjoy watching our son travel the world with our great Airforce.

Tellie

I became a team member of Dr. O’Donald’s in September 2013.  I have over 10 years of dental experience both in clinical and front office setting.

Building relationships with our patients and my fellow workers is a very rewarding experience. I have definitely found my dental home here at Dr. O’Donald’s office.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my two sons and my “princess” granddaughter, as well as crafting and home decorating.

It is my pleasure to work as a Registered Dental Hygienist for Dr. O’Donald.  I am a graduate from Grand Rapids Community College with an Associates degree in Applied Science.

My childhood dream was to become a health care provider.
