Abby

Lab Technician

As our lab tech, I handle everything from intraoral appliances to various types of retainers. I graduated from IU school of dentistry’s dental assisting program and joined Dr. Ellis’ team in 2018. I love interacting with patients and learning a little about everyone that I meet. I like knowing that the work I do directly affects our patients’ treatment outcome. I’m very glad to have found my place here, alongside such patient, genuine, easy-going people.

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my family and dog, Arlo. I also grew up with horses so I spend a lot of time riding my two horses with my friends and siblings. Outside of that, my family and I work closely with a dog rescue by fostering dogs and puppies and helping place them in their forever homes.

Amber

Treatment Coordinator

As the treatment coordinator, I get the privilege of working with all the patients in the office. I get to find out what they want for their new smile, and help make sure they get off to a good start here at the practice. I also help Dr. Ellis understand patients’ primary concerns about their smile. It’s so rewarding to help our patients finally get the smile they desire. Meeting new people is also very fun. No two smiles are the same and being able to watch Dr. Ellis and our team work their magic and get the results anybody would want is so much fun. He is a perfectionist who always does what is best for our patients.

I am married to my high school sweetheart Shane and we have a son Braden. When we are not at work or school, you can find us on a baseball field somewhere. We love watching Braden play. We also are very active in our church and we spend as much time with family as we can.

Ashleigh

Assistant/Jack of All Trades

Hello, I am Ashleigh and I have been assisting for about nine years. I can literally do everything in the office. I would like to think it would go down like the Titanic without me, but I know that a good office requires good teamwork. We have that here! I have never has a much fun working as I do now. The chemistry between all of us girls and Dr. Ellis is awesome. There is never a dull moment!

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for more than six years. We have two amazing kids, two rescue dogs, and six chickens. We love animals and livestock and hope to grow into a farm someday. I love exercising, hiking, and basically any outdoor activities. As a family, we enjoy church, family gatherings, and enjoying the outdoors.

Beckie

Front Desk/Check In

I have been a part of this practice since 1986! I answer the phones, make appointments, check patients in, and facilitate the flow of patients in the clinical areas. It is fulfilling to know that the service we provide is going to make a difference for the patient, even though they may not realize it at the time. When they are finished and can see the difference and change, it’s really something to witness!

When I’m not in the office, I love traveling, seeing new places, planning trips, taking new adventures, and living life to the fullest!

My objective is to make sure that every one of our patients has the most rewarding dental experience at our office. I specialize in communications with our Spanish-speaking patients, so I can help with translating treatment plans and all paperwork as well. I feel fortunate to work for my son, who loves what he does and truly cares for his patients and staff. I'm very proud of the excellent doctor he's turned out to be.

In my time outside the office, I enjoy sewing, reading, and traveling with my husband. I also love spending time with my grandkids!

I went to school for medical receptionist but ended up in the dental field, and I’m so glad I did. There is nothing like seeing patients after their treatment is completed and what a difference we have made in their lives. I worked in general dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics before joining this practice in 1988. I love the comradery that we share on a daily basis. We all have the ability to work together as a team to provide a remarkable outcome.

However, for the last 19 years, I have been doing orthodontics! My favorite part of my job is watching the patients progress and knowing I have been a part in their amazing transformation. In addition to helping implement our patients’ specific treatment plans as an assistant, I also coordinate all of our fun promotional campaigns.
