Claudia
I joined the team at Alpan Orthodontics in Dec 1999. I was the second employee invited to join the team and I started with putting charts away, and now I am the Financial Coordinator. I am also fortunate enough to say I was a patient of Dr. Alpans, and so have my two children as well. I was told by other orthodontist that I would need Jaw Surgery but Dr. Alpan was able to improve my bite and smile with no surgery. There is nothing more thrilling then watching our patient’s progress. One of my top priorities is to make sure all our patients and their families leave with a big smile. I truly enjoy talking and spending time with our patients. I believe at AO we have an incredible team and Doctors. all working together to create awesome smiles and bites. I am focused on making sure your experience at Alpan Orthodontics is the best it can be. I have been happily married since 2003 and have 2 children one boy and one girl. In my spare time I love spending time with my family.
