Tori - Office Manager

Hi there! My name is Tori, I am Dr. Thalgott’s office manager, and I am proud to welcome you and your family to our practice! I have worked in the dental field for over 30 years, and to this day, I truly enjoy working with people and serving others. I can't see myself doing anything else. We have such a rewarding job, getting to see our patients for at least two years; they become a part of our orthodontic family. My favorite thing about working in orthodontics is the day we take our patients’ braces off. I always like to walk back and see their new smiles. I have the opportunity to meet with all the patients after they get their braces off and I love it! They are so happy and can't quit smiling. Dr. Thalgott is the best. He is an excellent orthodontist, creating individual treatment plans for each patient, and taking care of his patients as if they were part of his own family. He stays up on the latest technology, and he is fun to work with; he has a great sense of humor! Our entire practice is here to make your orthodontic experience as fun, rewarding, and memorable as possible.

Outside of the practice, I have a great husband Kevin, whom I have been married to for over 30 years, and we have three wonderful children, and one precious grandchild. I am so thankful for my family. They bring so much joy to my life. We also love our dogs. Life just wouldn't be complete without our dogs. In my free time, I am very active in my church and I love helping people. I feel like I am here to make a difference in other peoples’ lives, so I am always asking myself what can I do for someone today Lord. I don't ever sit still for too long. I also love to garden, read and take long hikes.
