Isha
Patient Coordinator
In 2024, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Business. Shortly after graduation, I joined Avery Orthodontics as a summer intern and later transitioned into a full-time Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) position. During my first year, I worked as a chairside assistant, supporting Dr. Barnett with adjustments, debondings, final records, and sterilization.
With my background in business, I was always interested in the front office. In the spring of 2025, I stepped into the role of Patient Coordinator. My experience as a chairside assistant provides valuable insight that helps me better serve our patients.
What I love most about Avery Orthodontics is the opportunity to learn from all the team members. I was new to the industry when I started, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve gained invaluable experience that I will carry with me throughout my career in dentistry.
Outside the office, I enjoy attending UT football games with friends, reading, playing pickleball, and hiking. I’m also pursuing my master’s degree in Healthcare Business Administration, so when I’m not working on homework, you’ll likely find me enjoying our beautiful city of Austin.
Tiffany
Financial Coordinator
As Financial Coordinator, I work to ensure that the financial planning for our patients’ orthodontic treatment is smooth, transparent, and stress-free for every family. My goal is to coordinate with insurance companies on behalf of our patients to help maximize their orthodontic benefits—so they can focus on achieving healthy, beautiful smiles.
With nearly two decades of experience, I joined Avery Orthodontics in 2024. As a passionate advocate for helping patients navigate their financial journey, I truly appreciate that our office makes orthodontic care accessible by accepting a wide range of insurance networks. That level of commitment to our community, combined with my technical expertise, is what makes our office stand out for both service and personal care.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my son. We enjoy swimming, fishing, playing sports, and practicing taekwondo. When we’re not on the go with activities, we like to unwind and watch movies together.
Dawn
Treatment Coordinator
I’ve been in the dental field for 28 years, starting my career as a chairside Registered Dental Assistant before becoming the Treatment Coordinator at Avery Orthodontics. In my current role, I welcome first-time patients and guide them through their consultation appointments. After Dr. Barnett meets with them, I help answer any questions and address concerns about their treatment plans. I truly enjoy this part of my job because it allows me to educate patients on the benefits of orthodontics and how it can positively impact their lives.
Avery Orthodontics has been my home away from home for the past 18 years. I had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Barnett when he first opened his practice in the Avery Ranch area—with just three team members! It’s been an incredible journey to grow with the practice and see the impact we've had in our community over the years.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family. I’m married with five children, and my youngest daughter keeps us busy with cheerleading. When we’re not traveling for competitions, I enjoy watching movies and shopping.
Robin
Orthodontic Assistant
I’ve been in the dental field for nearly three decades. I work alongside Dr. Barnett on all routine orthodontic adjustments and serve as a lead assistant, helping to train new team members. While the technical aspects of my job are rewarding, patient interaction is by far my favorite part. I truly cherish every visit with our patients. Building strong relationships is very important to me, and I do everything I can to make people smile!
Joining the Avery Orthodontics team has been a refreshing change. I came from a large dual practice with five doctors, and after 14 years, I knew it was time to find my forever home. Dr. Barnett and the team are a breath of fresh air. We work hard, laugh often, and create beautiful smiles together.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family and friends. My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and we have two beautiful children. Most weekends, you’ll find us at the baseball fields or enjoying backyard barbecues.
Kobi
Orthodontic Assistant
I have been an orthodontic Registered Dental Assistant since 2015. My favorite part of working in orthodontics is watching patients grow more confident in their smiles.
In addition to my role as a chairside assistant at Avery Orthodontics, I work closely with Dr. Barnett to manage our orthodontic supply orders and help train team members in indirect bonding procedures. I truly enjoy both teaching and learning in this role.
I joined the Avery Orthodontics team in 2023, and I absolutely love working here—the positive environment and strong team support make it feel like family.
Outside of work, I enjoy shopping and spending quality time with my family. Our favorite activities are movie nights at home and solving puzzles together.
Roanda
Orthodontic Assistant
I have been a Registered Dental Assistant specializing in orthodontics since 2007. In my role, I assist with adjustments, sterilization, bondings, and occasionally make retainers. My favorite part of the job is working closely with patients and seeing their smiles transform from start to finish. It's incredibly rewarding to watch their journey and share in the joy their new smile brings them.
I moved to Austin in 2024 and joined Avery Orthodontics shortly after. I love working with Dr. Barnett—his expertise and professionalism make my job even more enjoyable. I also feel lucky to be part of a team that’s not only highly skilled and professional, but also brings great energy to the office, making it a fun and supportive workplace.
Outside the office, I enjoy going to concerts, traveling with my husband, and spending quality time with my family and our two dogs, Penny and Leonard.
Storey
Orthodontic Assistant
I have been a Registered Dental Assistant since 2016. I chose to specialize in orthodontics because I love helping change lives—one confident smile at a time. Orthodontics has a meaningful impact on children and young adults, and seeing their new smiles boost their confidence is incredibly rewarding. I'm proud of my role as a chairside orthodontic assistant and find joy in educating patients and helping them feel comfortable throughout their smile journey.
Avery Orthodontics is special to me because our team is the perfect mix of personalities, all working together toward one goal: delivering exceptional results for our patients. We truly are like a family.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my daughters. We enjoy swimming, fishing, and being outdoors. They all play volleyball, and I never miss a chance to cheer them on at their games.
