Meet the Team
Our team at Barnett Orthodontics consists of a friendly and experienced group of individuals who come together every day to provide the most exceptional orthodontic experience possible. We love to laugh and interact with our patients and their families. We have team members who have been with our office more than 40 years and some have even been patients here in the past! We’d love to welcome you into our Barnett Ortho family!
Taylor
Scheduling Coordinator
I have been a part of the Barnett team for a while now. I was in the medical field for about 8 years and spent 4 years caring for the mentally disabled, who I still hold very dear to my heart. I chose to transition to the dental field because I have admired dentists since I was a little girl. Building relationships with patients and seeing them radiate confidence when they finish treatment is the best part of my job! I am at the front desk answering phones & scheduling patients—always with a smile. I also get to express my creativity with our "Guess How Many" contest and our always trending Tik-Toks.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my Fiancé outdoors, connecting with nature, creating music, and playing any kind of games! We have 2 dogs, Teddy and Bear, and a cat, Khaleesi, whom we love very much!
Allyson
Scheduling Coordinator
I have been a part of the Barnett Ortho family for over two years now! Before joining the Barnett family, I worked with infant and toddler children locally at a daycare and was also a paraprofessional at Norton elementary school. I have really enjoyed meeting new faces and watching their smiles transform.
Outside of the office, I love spending time with my family. My fiancé Dakota and I have two boys named Carson and Grayson. We also have two very energetic dogs, Layla and Lilly, that always keep us busy. Our family loves to go camping and spend a lot of time outdoors. I also really enjoy crafting and getting to use my creativity in any way that I can.
Emma
Scheduling Coordinator
I'm new to the team but not new to the practice. I'm a former patient of Dr. Barnett's back from 2017 to 2021, and I loved my experience as a patient so much that when the opportunity to be an employee came up, I couldn't wait to come back! I love the impact that the work Dr. Barnett does has on our patients and seeing them become a more confident version of themselves. I couldn't be happier to be a part of that journey.
Out of the office, you'll find me outdoors hiking or just enjoying nature with my boyfriend. When I can't be outside, I enjoy cooking, crocheting, and cuddling up under a blanket watching sitcoms—my current obsession is Everyone Loves Raymond.
Kaitlyn
Financial Coordinator
I started at Barnett Orthodontics in 2024 as a front desk team member before taking on the role of financial coordinator. I am your go-to for any questions about your investment with us.
In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband and daughter. We enjoy walks around our neighborhood or game nights with the rest of the family. I also enjoy reading, binge watching tv series and playing volleyball with my sister.
Hallie
Insurance Coordinator
As the insurance coordinator, if it has to do with your insurance, I am the person to talk to. I am in the office limited hours, so you might not see me. I manage your insurance to ensure we utilize it to its fullest potential. I love seeing the transformation in someone's smile and how it changes their whole attitude. Dr. Barnett and the whole team make every day fun.
My husband Colin and I have four young boys, Killian, Lincoln, and twins Porter and Rowan. We also have a cat named Cleo. I love anything crafty. I am also pretty handy. If something needs to be fixed around the house, I am usually the one doing it, like a leaky faucet or installing new molding around my garage door.
Charlotte
Treatment Coordinator
I began my journey here back in 2011 as a patient! It's been such a pleasure to be a part of the practice from both perspectives. I love getting to see what a huge impact a brand-new smile can have. I started out as a front desk team member before transitioning into the role of Treatment Coordinator.
Outside of the office, I am a huge reader and writer, and I am currently writing a novel. At home, you'll find me dancing around the house, curling up with a good book, or hanging out with my two Maine Coon cats and my Bernese mountain dog.
Amy
Treatment Coordinator
I have been in the dental field for over 18 years. Being the Treatment Coordinator here, I enjoy seeing every new patient who comes in. I get to see the “before” and “after” which makes it that much more rewarding.
When I am not at work, my husband and I enjoy finding new places to eat and drink wine. We also love to travel, shop and help transport rescue animals. We have one daughter who lives with her wife in Berea and the rest of our children have fur.
Tammi
Sterilization Technician
I’ve been in the dental field for more than 45 years, and I’ve been a part of Dr. Barnett’s team his entire career (previously Dr. Gormley's). I assist Dr. Barnett with patient care and anything needing to be done to make our office run smoothly. For me, the most interesting part of my job when I was an assistant was the mechanical aspect: being a part of changing someone’s smile and seeing their outlook on life blossom! As my responsibilities have changed somewhat, I remain focused on keeping our schedule efficient with many tasks. Everyone on our team brings a different personality to share, which means we have a unique way of helping and caring while having fun as a team and with our patients. There’s never a dull moment!
In my free time, I am active in my church and thoroughly enjoy gaming with my family. I’m enthusiastic, friendly and am grateful to have such a wonderful career!
Meredith
Team Relationship Manager
I am the Team Relationship Manager & Clinical Flow Coordinator at Barnett Orthodontics. I joined the Barnett team in 2015 and have worked in the dental field for over 30 years. I love encouraging others to be their very best selves. It makes my heart happy to see our patients’ transformations, not only in their smiles but also in their confidence and self-esteem.
When I'm not spending time with the Barnett team I enjoy hanging out with my three kids, my daughter-in-law, and my sweet grand babies Haleigh Mae & Noah! My fiancé, Kevin & I have 3 ornery puppies, Cash, Jamie & Tucker that keep us super busy. I am passionate about serving in many aspects of the community. I enjoy reading, flower gardening & if you ask my opinion...I will inform you that TUESDAY is the BEST day of the week!
Colleen
I originally started my career at Barnett Orthodontics in 2004 as a chairside assistant. After several years, life took me on new adventures, to new cities and even on the crazy journey of motherhood! I'm excited to be back in a new role. I feel my years as an assistant, as well as other life endeavors, have laid a foundation for this next chapter.
When I'm not at the office, you can find me outdoors (hiking, kayaking and basking in the sun), spending time with my hubby of over 20 years (Andy) and my two kiddos (Isaac and Nori). I love my two kitties, board games, iced coffee, house plants, reading historical fiction and prioritizing chocolate daily!
Nicolle
Operations Coordinator
I started at Barnett Orthodontics assisting chairside in the clinic in 2017, but I have since transitioned into the office’s Operations Coordinator. You will find me just about everywhere in the office—from handling orders, helping schedule at the front desk, to occasionally assisting Dr. Barnett chairside. I love working in the orthodontic field because of the connections we get to make with our patients and the chance to change a person's life with a new smile.
In my free time, I love caring for my indoor jungle of houseplants (I would love to talk about plants with you). My husband and I are obsessed with Halloween—we set up a huge display in our yard every year.
Alyssa F
Orthodontic Assistant
I started at Barnett Orthodontics right as we opened back up after COVID. I work chairside assisting Dr. Barnett and help make and star in many of our Tik-Toks. What I love most about working in orthodontics is being able to change people's lives by changing their smiles and making them feel confident. It is such a rewarding feeling to see the patient's reactions when they see their new smile for the first time.
Outside of the office, I spend most of my time making memories with my fiancé and our kids.
Kenzie
Orthodontic Assistant
When I was younger, I was a patient here, but after finishing the dental assisting program at Stark State, the first place I wanted to work was at Barnett Orthodontics! I loved my experience with braces, and it sparked my interest in becoming an orthodontic assistant. I want to make other people feel the same way I felt when I finally got the perfect smile—it makes me so happy!
When I'm not at the office, I'm always hanging out with my family, my fiancé and our new puppy, Cooper. We enjoy playing card/board games, watching movies and TV shows together, and taking Cooper on walks. On the weekends, my sister, my mom, and I are always shopping—we love to try to find different consignment stores to shop at!
Alyssa B
Orthodontic Assistant
Although I have been part of the Barnett family for almost a year now, I have been in the dental field for three years. I started as a front desk representative and grew interested in the clinical side of patient treatment. Watching smiles transform with such confidence is one of many reasons why I love being an assistant.
Outside of the office, I love to travel with friends and my sister. Although she is younger than me, it's always great to make new memories as we go. I have a second job as a server so it’s nice when I finally get a moment to lay around and relax at home!
Lindsay
Orthodontic Assistant
I became part of the Barnett team in 2024. I’ve worked in the medical field for years, taking care of special-needs, elderly and in the OT/PT department in the hospital. Being a part of someone’s smile journey is amazing. I love my job, because I get to see our patient’s confidence grow, and see their new smiles.
When I’m not in the office you can find me playing volleyball (sand or court), running obstacle races (my favorite is the Savage Races), or traveling to see all 50 states with my husband. If I’m not out and about, I’m on my couch wrapped like a burrito in all my blankets taking a nap.
Michaela
Orthodontic Assistant
I previously graduated from a dental assisting program in 2024 and love working in the dental field. I enjoy all aspects of being an orthodontic assistant, and my favorite part is seeing the patient’s confidence grow as they achieve their new beautiful smile. The connections you make with the patients & parents throughout their treatment is incredible!
Outside of the office, you can find me hanging with friends or family. I enjoy playing with my two puppies, Snowy & Gage, and to say the least they keep me busy! I also love going to all different types of concerts with my friends and, like most girls, shopping!
Olivia
Orthodontic Assistant
I am one of the new orthodontic assistants here. I actually used to be a patient at this office, so it's really special to now be part of the team. I know what it's like to be in your shoes, and I love helping patients feel comfortable and excited about their progress toward a healthy, confident smile.
In my free time, I am usually spending time with my family or my boyfriend and our cat, Pickle. I enjoy going shopping with my friends, and making new memories with the ones I love!
Haley
Orthodontic Assistant
I recently joined the Barnett Ortho family, and I am so excited to learn new things and work with an amazing group of people! While studying dental assisting at Stark State, I completed my observation hours here. After graduation, I gave Dr. Barnett a call and the rest is history!
In my free time, I like to hang out with my boyfriend and our four pets (2 cats and 2 dogs). I also like to go camping with him and the dogs when the weather is nice!
Kim M
Lab Technician
I have been with the Barnett team since January 2024. I am blessed to have joined this phenomenal team after relocating from St. Augustine, Florida. My focus as part of the Barnett family is primarily in the lab, although I have been cross trained in most all aspects of the orthodontic world, as I have been in the field since 2002. My passion is in the lab where I get to tap into my creativity and attention to detail. I really enjoy the role and the skillset I get to offer our team.
I have enjoyed the transition to Ohio and find my list of cool places to visit growing longer and longer. My greatest joy in life is to be a mom, and my days are spent providing my children with experiences that will create lasting memories, especially outdoors. We love camping, swimming, and nights spent around a fire in the backyard.
