Ashley

Hi, I'm Ashley! I am an orthodontic assistant for Dr. Sesame. I have been a part of the Sesame Orthodontics team since 2002, and have loved every minute of being here! Dr. Sesame is such a wonderful orthodontist. She is experienced, and it's obvious that she truly cares about her patients, and wants everybody young and old to enjoy sharing their smile. When I am away from the practice, I look forward to spending time with my husband and our family, and friends! I like to shop, go to the movies, and in the summer time, I love going to the hydroplane races. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Claire

Hello, and welcome! My name is Claire! I have been part of Dr. Samantha Sesame's dental team since 1994. I truly enjoy working with Dr. Sesame; she is such a caring, generous, understanding doctor who always puts her patients first. I am also proud to be part of such an amazing team of orthodontic assistants and office staff. As a practice, we work hard to give our patients healthy smiles they feel confident sharing! Outside of the practice, I enjoy volunteering with various organizations and charities in my community, and working on all sorts of arts and crafts projects! My husband, Dan and I have three grown children, and five spunky grandkids who keep us very busy! I look forward to meeting you, and the many smiles we have yet to share.

Hi there, I'm Patty, and I look forward to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile! I have been a part of Dr. Sesame's team since 1999, and have over 20 years of experience working in the dental industry. I enjoy the open interaction we have with our patients. Our practice is dedicated not to just treating smiles, but to developing meaningful, lifelong relationships with every person we treat. It is such a joy working with Dr. Sesame, the team, and all of our wonderful patients. In my spare time, my husband and I enjoy travelling, boating on Lake Washington, and visiting our son and daughter-in-law who live in New Mexico. I am excited to meet you, and I look forward to working with you throughout your treatment.

Jerry

Welcome to our practice, my name is Jerry! I began working at the orthodontic practice of Dr. Samantha Sesame in 2003. It is such an honor working for Dr. Sesame! She is a great doctor who genuinely cares about her patients and their health. While I do love working with such an amazing doctor and staff, the patients are really the ones who make every day a great experience! Our patients are the best, with each patient bringing sharing their own unique qualities with us at each appointment. When I'm not at the practice helping patients, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am a big fan of all the Seattle area sports teams, and I like staying active by running and participating in marathons. I look forward to helping you maintain the health of your smile!

Kelly

Hi, I'm Kelly, and I am excited to welcome you to our practice! I have been working with Dr. Sesame and the entire dental team since 2008. My favorite thing about a career in orthodontics is getting to meet so many great patients every day! I absolutely love working with our patients, they make each day exciting, and challenging, and fun! Dr. Sesame is a wonderful orthodontist to work with. She is understanding and sensitive to her patients' needs, and she does everything to make sure that her patients have a positive experience. I am originally from South Carolina, and once a year I take a trip back home to see my family and friends. I enjoy living in Washington, and in my spare time, I like hanging out with friends, shopping, playing racquetball, skiing in the winter, and camping in the summer! I look forward to meeting you, and sharing many years of great smiles!
