Meet the Team

We have a great team!

They are all so talented and very caring. They really take time to get to know our patients and their families … not because it’s part of their job description, but because they genuinely enjoy creating those relationships!

We have a great time with each other and this closeness shows in everything we do: it is important to all of us to work in a positive, upbeat environment, where we support each other in order to provide the best experience for our patients.

My team is skilled, professional, and dedicated to caring for each patient like family. I could not be more proud to work alongside such remarkable people!

Paula

Office Manager

I enjoy having good relationships with our staff and working with them to keep our practice running smoothly. That’s important, as it means our patients and their families have pleasant visits and an exceptional treatment experience as they change their smiles!

My husband Kenny and I have been married for more than 35 years. We have a grown son, Brock, daughter-in-law Brittany, and a Scottish Terrier. Kenny and I love sports, especially Cardinals baseball and Alabama football, and we love the beach, too.

 

Brittany

Treatment Coordinator

I love making new patients feel warm and welcome in our practice, and am happy when I’m able to ease their fears over the thought of braces. I want every person who walks through our door to feel loved and safe. I strive to make their time here the best part of their day and especially love that I get to help people on their journey to a confident smile they’re proud to share!

My husband Shaun and I spend all our free time with our amazing son, Lincoln. We love watching St. Louis sports and attending Blues and Cardinal games. We also love the outdoors and finding new places to travel to and new places to hike as a family! We love movies too and can binge watch with the best of them.

 

Ashley

Scheduling Coordinator

I love connecting with our awesome patients and their families I love being able to watch each person’s smile transform into something beautiful while keeping up with their activities and the big events going on in their lives!

My husband Ryan and I live in Wood River with our dog, Zoey. We spend our weekends riding our side-by-side, golfing, or staying home and binge-watching Netflix. We also love to travel and spend time with family and friends, attend St. Louis Blues games, and I love to try new recipes, too. Some of them turn out really tasty!

 

Lindsay

Orthodontic Assistant

I love interacting with patients and getting to know them. My favorite part is seeing the end result with their beautiful smile.

I am finally getting married in March 2021 after rescheduling twice due to covid. I am pregnant with my first son. I also have a stepdaughter who is 10. In my free time, I love being outdoors when the weather is nice but when it's cold you can catch me snuggled up on the couch watching tv or doing a puzzle.

 

Kyra

My favorite part about working at BauerHite is the patient interactions. I love getting to know our patients and seeing their treatment progress!

I live with my fiance, Brady. We're going to be expecting our first child, Charlotte, in April 2023. In my spare time I love to cook, craft, and go on hikes with our dogs.

 

Ashton

Orthodontic Assistant

I love being able to work with the public and educate them on dental health.

When I go home in the evening, it’s to spend time with my husband Michael and our two young children, daughter Alyana and son Emmett. We love going on adventures and exploring the outdoors.
