Layne first began working with us in 2002 as a sterilization tech while she was still in high school. From there, she was trained to be an orthodontic technician and, after she had her children, started working at the front desk where she learned about insurance and finances in the orthodontic practice. She also plans our school and neighborhood events so we stay engaged with the community. Layne enjoys the day-to-day interactions with people: talking to them about their day and getting to know them better as they come in every six to eight weeks for appointments. She never forgets to emphasize the importance of great oral hygiene!

Layne grew up here in Las Vegas. She has been married for more than ten years to her eternal companion. She also has three wonderful children. Layne keeps busy with her kids’ soccer and dance activities, and is active in her church. She and her family love to serve in any way they can.
