Meet The A-Team
Dorothy
Treatment Coordinator
I was born and raised in Raleigh, attending St. Mary's and graduating from Appalachian State University where I earned a BA in Business Marketing and English. I have been in dentistry since 2010. I truly enjoy seeing the positive impact a healthy, beautiful smile can have on one's confidence. I recently joined the A team, and am thrilled to be part of such a great practice. I look forward to meeting you!
I'm a proud mom of two boys; my oldest is a Ranger in the Army and my youngest keeps my husband and I busy with his many sports. When not in the office, you'll find me cheering my son on at one of his games, spending time with our two German Shepherds or enjoying time with my family, especially my nieces.
Jenna
Lead Orthodontic Assistant
I was born and raised in a small town in Texas. Since 2004, North Carolina has been my home. I have had the privilege of working in Orthodontics for over 10 years, and I can confidently say that it is my passion. When a patient loves their smile, I feel very fortunate to have been a part in that process.
In my spare time, you can find me with my friends and family at breweries, playing games, and loving my fur baby, Mowgli!
Gail
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I am originally from Buxton, Maine. I relocated to Raleigh in July of 2024. In my free time I like spending time with my dog Quinn, family, and friends. I’ve always had a passion for dentistry and helping people. I have been a dental assistant since 2018. I recently went back to school to further my education and graduated from an expanded functions dental auxiliary program in 2023. I am excited to grow my knowledge even further here at Altherr Orthodontics as an orthodontic assistant.
Amanda
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC. I attended two years of dental assisting school and started in Orthodontics, in 2016. I have been doing it ever since. I love getting to know all of our patients, and watching their smiles transform. It’s amazing to watch how what we do increases our patients’ confidence and improves their smiles.
Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband and hanging out with family and friends.
Esme
Orthodontic Chairside Assistant
I was born and from the tidewater region of Virginia and moved to North Carolina after my husband took a new posting with the Navy in the summer of 2024. I myself served as well. I have been in orthodontics now for over 4 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it, especially working with my hands. I love to see the difference we make with a patient's confidence.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family (husband and a two year old) and friends.
Emil
Administrative Coordinator
I was born and raised in Wilmington, NC but fell in love with the Triangle area and have made it my home. I love helping patients look and feel their best, and prior to recently joining Altherr Orthodontics, I worked in Dermatology. It’s been a very nice change especially when I see our patients’ smiles.
In my spare time, I love to be out adventuring, drawing and gaming with my husband.
