Treatment Coordinator

As Dr. Meharg’s Treatment Coordinator, I have the privilege of introducing our new patients to our practice. At the first visit I will spend time getting to know you and your orthodontic needs. After a full evaluation by Dr. Meharg, I will answer any questions you may have regarding the treatment recommendation and will review the financial plans available to best meet your needs. In my spare time my husband and I enjoy spending time with our children and our 2 golden retrievers.

Financial Coordinator

I have been a part of Dr. Meharg’s team since 2004. My past experience at Blue Cross/Blue Shield has been very helpful in assisting you with your insurance questions.  I enjoy meeting new patients and their families and assisting them with their financial arrangements when treatment begins.  I enjoy taking road trips with my husband to visit our son in North Carolina.

Laboratory Technician

I am a native of Syracuse and spent four years as a dental technician in the United States Air Force. I gained my experience in orthodontics working two years for an orthodontist. After leaving the Air Force I worked as a motion picture projectionist before returning to the orthodontic field approximately twenty years ago. I’ve been with Dr. Meharg since he bought the practice.

In my spare time, I enjoy golfing and am an avid sports fan.

Executive Assistant

I’m the original staff member! Michael and I have been a team since 1971. In the early days of FSO, I spent a lot of time in the office, but now I mostly work from home. The calendar is one of my specialties, another is curating the quilt collection, some of which I have made. In our spare time, we love to travel and visit our children and granddaughter.
