Meet Amber - Practice Manager / Treatment Coordinator
With more than 25 years of orthodontic experience, Amber knows a thing or two about creating confident smiles! As our practice manager, she wears many hats—but her favorite is Treatment Coordinator.
Amber’s warm energy and love for orthodontics will make you feel right at home from the moment you meet her. She will start your journey by taking fantastic records, and will walk you and your family through understanding every part of treatment.
Amber loves learning and regularly attends orthodontic conferences to stay up to date. She’s also experienced several types of orthodontic treatment herself, so she really knows her stuff! She completed Florida’s Expanded Function Dental Assisting program, is well versed in clinical techniques, and has an impressive understanding of finances and insurance. In short, she truly does it all!
When she isn’t making people smile or sharing her love of orthodontics, Amber enjoys spending time with her family, exercising, and being outdoors—especially when “outdoors” means poolside. She also loves comedy movies from the ’80s and ’90s and may even know more silly movie quotes than Dr. Olson!
Meet Steph - Finance / Insurance and Patient Coordinator
Steph has been part of our team for more than four years and brings over 25 years of experience in scheduling and front-office care. When you arrive at our practice, hers may be one of the first friendly hellos you hear! Her calm, welcoming personality will make you and your family feel right at home—even while she’s juggling a million things behind the scenes.
Steph also handles insurance claims and works with OrthoFi to help you and your family receive the full benefits you deserve. As orthodontic insurance becomes more complicated, she helps your family make sense of your coverage and works with your insurance company on your behalf. She knows the ins and outs of orthodontic insurance and is always ready to help!
When she isn’t helping patients or keeping the front office running smoothly, Steph enjoys reading, cheering on the Eagles, and going to the beach with her husband, Jeff, and their sons, Jordan, Cole, and Logan. The only thing she may enjoy more is an intense game of Fortnite with the boys!
Meet Chrisee - Lead Orthodontic and Digital Assistant
With more than 16 years of orthodontic experience, Chrisee brings an incredible amount of skill and confidence to our team. She completed the YTI Expanded Function Dental Assisting program in 2022 to sharpen her skills even further. What does that mean? Basically, she has orthodontic superpowers!
From placing and removing braces to delivering expanders and taking impressions and digital scans, Chrisee does it all with poise and confidence. She’s also incredibly patient, helping our younger patients—and anyone who may feel a little nervous—relax and enjoy their visits.
Chrisee is just as talented behind the scenes, overseeing the production of our very own Olson Aligners. The digital workflow includes 3D printing models, fabricating the aligners, and automated trimming. With several technologies and software platforms to juggle, it’s part science, part art, and a little bit of orthodontic magic!
When she’s ready to unwind from a busy day in the clinic and lab, Chrisee enjoys seeking out the spiciest foods she can find and spending time with her husband, Jeremy, and her children, Jeremy and Sokiya.
Meet Krystal - Orthodontic and Lab Assistant
Krystal has been part of our team for nearly four years, bringing plenty of energy and determination to the clinic. In 2025, she proudly completed the YTI Expanded Function Dental Assisting program—an accomplishment she worked hard to earn. What does that mean? She has orthodontic superpowers, too!
If Krystal has a low-energy setting, we haven’t found it yet! She’s quick, efficient, and always ready to jump in. Her upbeat personality makes her great with patients and parents, and she helps keep the clinic running smoothly, instruments sterilized, and materials ready to go.
Krystal has also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Columbia Borough Fire Department for more than six years. Whether she’s helping patients or answering a fire call, she brings the same energy and dedication. Talk about taking “putting out fires” literally!
When she finally takes a break, Krystal enjoys her family, her dog Maxx, trips to Chincoteague, cheering on the Flyers, and—of course—Penn State football.
Meet Alana - Orthodontic and Lab Assistant
Alana has been part of our team for over a year and brings more than three years of orthodontic experience to the practice. You’ll find her helping patients in the clinic and teaming up with Chrisee in the lab.
Alana never minds a question—in fact, she encourages them! She takes the time to explain things clearly and makes sure you understand what’s happening during your visit. Her patience and eye for detail make her especially talented at taking patient photos and placing braces accurately. She likes to get things just right, and it shows in her work!
Outside the office, Alana is an avid reader who can finish a couple of novels in a single weekend. She’s also an anime fan and a PC gamer who enjoys playing with her husband, Danny.
Alana loves spending time with her dog, Myla, too. Between books, gaming, anime, and Myla, she always has something fun to share—and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Our team is committed to making your orthodontic experience second to none. They genuinely care about every patient and stay current with the latest techniques and advances in orthodontics—all to provide you with excellent care and a smile you’ll love!
