Meet the Staff

family of five


Tracy

Hello, I’m glad to meet you! I am an orthodontic lab technician, and am proud to work for such a wonderful practice. I fabricate orthodontic appliances like retainers. I know you’ll love coming in our office to visit, because we have a lot of fun here! Our doctors are very professional and great at what they do, but they also love to have a good time! When I’m not at work, I enjoy horse back riding and camping.

 

Sheryl

I have been in orthodontics since 1993 and with Orthodontic Partners since 1999. I started as a clinical assistant and moved into treatment coordinating. My job, among many things, is to help our new patients get the beautiful smiles they deserve! I love meeting new people every day, and helping to transform their appearance and their health! Outside the office, my biggest passion is West Coast Swing Dancing. I also enjoy hiking and Zumba!

 

Shannon

Hi, I’m Shannon. I’m an Appointment Coordinator here at Orthodontic Partners and I have the pleasure of helping you to schedule your appointments for your orthodontic adjustments. I’ve been with Orthodontic Partners for 3 years and yet I’m the newest staff member. The knowledge and experience of the Drs and the staff here is amazing. I enjoy working in all of our offices as they each have a different theme. The Reno office has a music theme with a really cool guitar collection, the Sparks office has a sports theme with some great memorabilia and the South Meadows office has a movie theme complete with a yellow brick road and Spider Man. Growing up in Santa Cruz I spent a lot of time with horses and had the pleasure of competitively showing Arabians. My biggest highlight was riding in the Rose Parade. These days I enjoy boating, knitting and spending time with my husband and our two beautiful daughters. 

 

Kirsten

I started with Orthodontic Partners as an orthodontic assistant after graduating from TMCC in 2002.  I moved to L.A. for a short time but returned to Orthodontic Partners as soon as I was back in Reno. I worked with some very nice orthodontists in L.A. but it is an honor to be part of this amazing practice and team. Dr. Corbridge & Dr. Bruntz truly love and take pride in what they do. With all of the different personalities in the office, smiling and laughing are a constant. I especially enjoy watching the transformation and confidence of our patients as they complete treatment. I guess you can tell I love my being a part of Orthodontic Partners. In my off time I also love working out, snowboarding and spending time with my beautiful niece, my amazing husband and all the rest of my wonderful family and friends. 

 

Joyce

Hello, I am glad you’re here. I’ve been an orthodontic assistant since graduating from the TMCC Dental Assisting program and joining Orthodontic Partners almost 10 years ago. I enjoy working for such patient and knowledgeable doctors. I know some of our patients may be nervous at the beginning of treatment, and I always enjoy making their visits as fun and comfortable as possible. I get to know our patients personally, and enjoy seeing the transformation that a beautiful smile brings to their lives! I grew up in Ohio but Nevada is my home and I love it. I especially enjoy the beautiful outdoors when walking and riding my bike.

 

Jessica

Everyone here is so warm and welcoming that you will feel like family the moment you walk in. I guess that’s what I like best about Dr. Corbridge & Dr. Bruntz… they treat their employees and patients like family. I’ve been with Orthodontic Partners for 9 years. Most of the time, you will find me answering phones and scheduling appointments at the front desk. When I’m not doing that, I’m in charge of ordering. I take a lot of pride in making sure everyone has what they need when they need it so they can take the best care of you. There’s no better feeling than seeing how happy our patients are when they see their new smile for the 1st time. When I’m not working I love reading, camping and spending time with my husband, our two little girls and our two dogs.

 

Jeanette

I've been in orthodontics since 2003 and with Orthodontic Partners since 2005. I am one of the orthodontic assistants who will help you to have the smile of your dreams. My favorite part is seeing the huge changes that can happen with braces... physically & emotionally.  I am also in charge of our OSHA and sterilization which I take very seriously. I may be serious about sterilization but I love to joke and laugh with our patients. In fact that's one of the things I like best about Dr. Corbridge & Dr. Bruntz; they are always smiling and having fun with the patients. When I'm not at work I enjoy boot camp at the gym and fund raising for organizations such as the Nevada Humane Society. You will probably notice, once a year our office collects pet food for the Nevada Humane Society.

 

Debra

Hi! I’m Debra, and I've been with Orthodontic Partners for 26+ years. I have the pleasure of helping you coordinate your or your child’s orthodontic treatment. I assist new patients with all their needs from the initial confirmation call to the actual banding. I will answer all your questions and make sure you feel completely comfortable with treatment before we begin. I enjoy speaking with families to find out what their goals and needs are, and helping them get exactly what they want out of orthodontics. When I’m not at work, I spend time with my husband and our son. We love downhill skiing and mountain biking!

 

Ciera

My favorite part of being an orthodontic assistant is making it fun for our patients. We always have a good time. I love getting to know them and see the changes in their teeth from the time they get their braces on to the time they get them off. I enjoy wakeboarding, snowboarding, snowmobiling, race boats, etc. You might say I love to go fast. My husband and I are about to have our 1st child, a beautiful little girl named Aaliyah. Now I just need to be fast enough to keep up with her. I have been with Orthodontic Partners for the past 6 years and I'm sure I will still be here when Aaliyah is ready for her braces. After all, Orthodontic Partners has treated everyone in my family.

 

Ann

As the business manager, I am responsible for everything that goes on behind the scenes to keep our practice flowing smoothly. I enjoy the variety of the things I get to do, and that every day is completely different. I've been with Orthodontic Partners for over 20 years and feel so lucky to be a part of a practice with such amazing doctors and staff  who truly care about each and every patient. We want our patients to look forward to their visits so we're always doing a lot of fun things in our office. I'm a native Nevadan and grew up right here in Reno. At home, my husband and I have a miniature Australian Sheppard named Tillie who has us very well trained.

 

Amy

I am an orthodontic assistant, and I help our doctors in all orthodontic duties. I love talking to my patients, and getting to know them on a personal basis. I always want to hear what they are up to, whether it’s prom, sports, or a vacation that is planned! My favorite part of my job is getting to take someone’s braces off. The patient is always happy and excited to see their new smile. It is so rewarding! Outside the office, I enjoy quality time spent with my husband and our two children. I also love to run, go camping and spend time outdoors.
