Lucas
Business Manager
I grew up in the dental field. My stepfather is a general dentist in Ohio and I was working as a chairside assistant at age 13. After Dr. Cali and I met in undergraduate school, we worked together in restaurants before she started dental school and residency. When she started West Temple Orthodontics, joining the team was a natural decision!
My role includes marketing, accounting, community engagement, and HR. I love that I get to interact with our patients, be involved in our community, and be a leader to our team. Everyone here loves what they do, and it shows!
Dr. Cali and I have been married for 17 years and have four boys. We are active in community sports, especially rec and travel baseball, and enjoy the outdoors and traveling. I personally love hunting and fishing, making central Texas the best place we could have found to settle down!
Sonia
Financial Coordinator
I have been with Dr. Cali and West Temple Orthodontics since 2003. Everyone here – Dr. Cali, my coworkers, and our patients and their families – feels like family.
Working with patients and parents, I oversee and coordinate financial records, as well as process insurance claims and follow-ups. I enjoy getting to know our patients and families during their time with us, and love seeing how happy people are with their new smiles!
My leisure time is spent attending my daughters’ softball games, spending time with family, hiking, and listening to live music and attending concerts.
Marisol
Receptionist and Orthodontic Tech
I started in the field in 1991 and joined West Temple Orthodontics in 2003. Dr. Cali is very understanding with her patients and my coworkers really care about our patients’ comfort and happiness.
Most of my day is spent at our front desk, where I greet and check-in patients, answer the phones, schedule appointments, and review patient contracts. I am cross-trained as an Orthodontic Technician and work in the clinic when needed, too. Being part of a team that creates beautiful smiles is fulfilling, and I love seeing the changed smiles that leave our office!
I am the proud mother of a Killeen fireman. I love spending time watching movies, playing with our fur babies, traveling, and enjoying the company of family and friends.
Jodi
Treatment Coordinator
I joined West Temple Orthodontics in 2019, having started in the field in 2004. Dr. Cali takes pride in her work, as does the team. We really do provide the best orthodontics and results.
I meet with our new and pending patients as they’re getting ready to start the treatment process. I review their treatment plan and financials and answer any questions patients or parents might have. I enjoy meeting new people and being part of a team that helps individuals build confidence in their smiles!
My kids, Allyson and Austin, are my everything. In my free time, if I’m not shuffling the kids around, I enjoy playing softball and working out.
Kayla
Lab Technician
My career started in 2014 and I joined West Temple Orthodontics in 2019. Everyone in this office gives 110% to make sure our patients and families are pleased with treatment and their new smiles.
I handle all of the digital appliance setups and printing including retainers and indirect bonding setups and trays.
I married in 2013 and now have two young boys who keep me busy being a mom. When I do have free time, I enjoy doing calligraphy, binge-watching Netflix, and getting together with friends.
