Reception, Treatment Coordinator, Financial Coordinator

My name is Kim and I have worked in orthodontics for over ten years, and was a patient of Dr. Stern's when I had orthodontics. I wear many hats at Stern Orthodontics, as a receptionist, treatment coordinator, and financial coordinator. The most important part of each of these titles is making sure that our patients have a positive experience visiting our practice. I enjoy the interaction we have with our patients and their families, and being able to see how much our patients grow and change throughout their treatments.

I am originally from Pennsville, and still live here with my husband, Brandon, our daughter, Madison, and our two pets, Ivan our dog, and Razz our cat. I enjoy spending my weekends at the shore and Stone Harbor. I am a total thrill seeker, and I have gone sky diving, snorkeling with barracudas, cliff diving, and skiing along expert ranked ski trails.

Hi, I'm Deanna and I work at the Vineland office handling all the insurance and billing issues. Our patients spend a few years with us so it's important when they come to our office that they see us as their friends, not just another heath care provider.

My husband's name is Tom and we have a daughter named Alexa and two Labs, Roger and Penelope. I enjoy taking long walks with my family and friends.

I'm excited to welcome you to Stern Orthodontics! My name is Alexandra, and I work as the bookkeeper and receptionist. I love meeting new people, and making them feel at home visiting our office. Knowing that I am able to help so many patients as they progress through their orthodontic treatment is a great feeling. Both of our doctors are great to work with. They have such easy going personalities, and know how to make our patients and their parents feel at-ease during each appointment. I especially appreciate how the doctors make me feel when I'm at work. Every day I come to the practice knowing that the work I do is appreciated and important, and it's because of this positive environment that we are all able to give our patients the best care possible.

When I'm not at the practice, I enjoy spending time with my family and participating in different activities with my children. My husband, Tony, and I have two lovely daughters, Isabella and Angelina, and a pet cat, named Tula.
