Annie Annie is new to the tooth world - she comes to us with a financial background. She is a great fit at Haug Orthodontics and says she "loves working with Dr. Haug and her team." And she "loves our patients!" With all this "love" talk, it was fitting that Annie just started with us on Valentine's Day! In her spare time, Annie enjoys watching movies with her husband, Mark, and spending time with her family. Together they have 3 children, Chris, Michelle and Rachel. She also has 5 granddaughters to keep her busy. Annie's doing a great job at the front desk and we "love" her awesome personality!

She is a teacher by trade, but is looking forward to learning new skills here at Haug Ortho. Anne enjoys spending time with her family and friends and taking long walks down the Great River Road. Already, Anne tells us she loves the friendly atmosphere with the staff and it's fun getting to know the patients (many of which she taught in school!) and their families. Anne jumped right in the front desk position and is doing great! Next time you're in, get to know Anne (and Annie, the other Appointment Coordinator) at the front desk. We call them the "A-Team"!
