CHOU
Clinical Assistant, Clinical Coordinator
After completing my externship with Dr. Ormiston over the summer of 2006, I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at Clover Park Technical College. Upon graduation, Dr. Ormiston offered me a position, and I’ve loved working here ever since!I can usually be found assisting Dr. Ormiston during patient procedures as clinical coordinator. My favorite part is seeing our patients get excited about the changes they’ve gone through and seeing their new, beautiful smiles. Another great thing about working here is that it’s really more than just work – we are a family!I grew up in Sumner and now live in Tacoma with my longtime boyfriend, our son Theon and daughter Taytum. I enjoy food and love trying new places. I also love to spend time with my family and friends, and host gatherings.

TARA
Scheduling Coordinator
I joined Dr. O’s team in 2010, but I feel like I’ve been part of this office family for far longer! I am a second-generation staff member; my mom is Betty Ann, who is now retired. I am married and have two amazing boys. I love being outside and attending sporting events. Being part of Ormiston Orthodontics is amazing and I love being able to make patients feel welcome when they arrive. It is a family environment here 🙂

KAYLEIGH
Financial Coordinator
I have the privilege of working as the financial coordinator for Ormiston Orthodontics and will be working with you on the financial end of your treatment. We will find a flexible plan, incorporating any insurance benefits you may have and determine a plan that will fit your family’s needs. I started my journey with Dr. Ormiston’s office first as a patient back in 2016. He and his staff made me feel right at home and were the reason I wanted to pursue a career in the dental field. I am so proud to be a member of Dr. Ormiston’s team! Each and every team member goes above and beyond to make every patient feel welcome and special. I grew up here in Puyallup and graduated from Rogers High School in 2004. My favorite job of all is being a wife to Brent and mom to our three kids: Gracie-Anne, Amira and Jameson. We enjoy movies, taking road trips and anything holiday related.

TONI
Marketing Coordinator, Clinical Assistant
I joined Dr. Ormiston’s office as a clinical assistant in 2018. I’ve been in the field of orthodontics since 2005, and I just love helping to create beautiful smiles for our patients. I’m so blessed to be working with Dr. Ormiston and being part of this wonderful team!! I grew up in Puyallup and live here with my husband, Mike. I have two wonderful children. My son Jake married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie, and they have a son named Gavin. My daughter Kendra has a daughter named Paisyn. I also have two bonus children! Megan and her husband Ben have a son named Roman, and Alex is a student in Arizona. I enjoy caring for my grandkids, camping, spending time with family and friends, and hunting elk with Mike, although hunting for me is just walking through the woods!

I joined Dr. Ormiston’s practice in July, 2020 in the midst of the pandemic and immediately felt at home in such a supportive environment.
