Aside from family, Aline is also a major house plant enthusiast and occasionally dabbles in the horitcultural side of it as well.
Shonda
Orthodontic Assistant, Treatment Coordinator
Shonda was born in North Carolina and relocated to Newport News when she was 13 years old. She graduated from Warwick High School and a few years later, completed the dental assisting program at Tidewater Tech while raising her son. Shonda has worked in the dental field since 2000 including general dentistry, prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and of course orthodontics. Before joining our team in 2017 she spent two years working with Dr. Reese as the Commander Administrative Assistant and ten years as an orthodontic assistant at the dental clinic at Langley AFB.
Shonda and her son love participating in sports together, especially playing basketball and roller skating (which is her passion other than orthodontics!). She even travels to other states with her friends to enjoy the sport. Shonda and five of her friends were invited to the Dr. Oz show to perform and to promote skating as good exercise. She’s known to the skaters as “SKATE DIVA.”
Missy
Accounts Manager
Missy comes to us with 20+ years of experience in the dental world. She started as an assistant next door, and has worked her way around all aspects of the office. Missy takes pride in her dedication, ambition, and reliability, and that she is self-motivated.
Missy was born, raised, and educated right here in Hampton Roads. She enjoys going to the gym/yoga, spending time with her family, traveling, and anything that entails being outdoors.
Sonya
Orthodontic Assistant
Sonya is one of our assistants that has been with the practice since 2004. Some of the children she assisted in treating have kids who are returning adults with their children. When she’s not in the office she stays very active with kickball, volleyball, outdoor activities, or spending time with her four adult children and grandchildren, so she’s great with kids. Her true passion however outside of orthodontics is riding and caring for her horses and roughing it in her cabin in the mountains.
Sherry
Orthodontic Assistant
I have worked in the ortho world for 30 years chair-side and in the lab. When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family. I have been married over 25 years and we have 3 young ladies that are triplets! We love going to the beach in the summer time and the mountains in the fall. Our family has a passion for animals we have 3 dogs, 2 birds, a snake (not my passion) and a rabbit.
