meet the bfo team!
Melanie
Treatment Coordinator
Melanie is one of those special people who always looks put together. She can operate on a half hour of sleep a night and still look better than the rest of us. She also has the most soothing voice in the world and makes Siri sound like Jar Jar Binks compared to her. She has four awesome kids who live all over the world. Melanie has a ton of experience in the dental field and a public relations degree that she uses everyday as BFO’s treatment coordinator.
Sarah
Orthodontic Assistant
Somehow this Carolina girl ended up in Texas and we’re all better for it. She has two older boys who are picture perfect football players and a 12-year old who can dance better than JT. She’s an amazing assistant and NEVER leaves a pokey wire.
Christa
Practice Ambassador
Christa is one of those lucky people who has 5 kids but hasn’t aged a day since 2004. She always looks on point and never answers the phone like they do at the DMV. Also, she wears a BFO shirt 7 days a week so you’ll always know where her loyalties lie.
Magin
Receptionist
Dr. Blackburn worked with Magin at another office years ago and if it wasn’t for some dang non-solicitation agreement he would have stolen her over to BFO immediately! But she’s here now and life at BFO is better for it! She doesn’t know how to get upset and has 2 amazing daughters. She is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and loves when people prank call BFO! Try it!
Hannah
Lead Orthodontic Assistant
Hannah is super smart and pretty much good at everything. She’s our go to for all things popculture and our in-house Urban Dictionary. She’s been in ortho over 6 years and loves our patients. She also runs our 3D printing lab at BFO so if you ever need a mini model of your goldendoodle, reach out to her.
Dionna
Orthodontic Assistant
Dionna is one of the few true Katy locals, so feel free to ask her anything about the area! She’s hilarious, a great listener (perfect for COVID times), and a big Chris Brown fan (minus the Rihanna drama). When she’s not bonding brackets, you’ll find her at Saturday brunch. We love having her on the team, and you’ll love working with her too!
Lou
Practice Director
Or Lou Vuitton as she could be called since she’s always so stylish. When she’s not walking the runways in Milan, she’s here at BFO. She is in line to win the world’s best ortho assistant and has the most amazing husband. If you get close to Lou there’s a good chance you’ll get wrapped up in her trademarked full-body hug. And you will love it.
Mady
Records Expert/Insurance Verifier
Mady is an artist through and through. Unlike your aspiring 2nd grader, she’s Instagram famous (@dear_donor) and has art shows all around the country. But, when she’s not busy showing her work off at the Louvre, we get to utilize her artistic powers at BFO. Mady takes the new patient photos at BFO and you better believe they’re a work of art. Mady also has the most contagious laugh you’ve ever heard. She’s won best laugh 6 years in a row at BFO. Well, she would have if there was a vote. So if you’re in need of a good laugh and an even better-looking mugshot, talk to Mady.
Brooke
Orthodontic Assistant
Brooke Burns began bonding beneficial brackets back before bats brought breathing bothers and Biden became boss. Before beginning bonding braces at BFO, Brooke betrothed beautiful bae Brock Burns, bright-eyed baby boy Bennett, and bundled barking Bruno. Brooke blesses BFO by befriending baby boomers, binding broken bands and bonding busted buttons.
Tina
Orthodontic Assistant
Tina is an assistant that knows more about ortho than most orthodontists. She can tie in a lip bumper, install a CS5 spring and bond the second molars without breaking a sweat. We feel incredibly lucky to have Tina at BFO and you should feel lucky to have her helping you. Oh, if you’re ever at a party and see Tina there, have her diagnose your kids. She will know exactly what to do.
Michelle
Insurance Specialist
Do you ever wish you had a superpower where you could move at the speed of light and get a million things done in just a few seconds? Michelle has that superpower and it’s amazing to watch. She has 5 kids, volunteers all over the place, and works the front desk at BFO! And she does all that without ever stressing. She’s incredible! If you ever need something done, Michelle is definitely the person to ask.
Ellie
Orthodontic Assistant
Ellie is a veteran to orthodontics! She’s a freaking rockstar. It’s been said that, of all the athletes, swimmers are the smartest. Ellie is living proof of that. When she’s not changing out wires and showing kids how to wear their rubber bands, she’s at the pool coaching.
Leisha
Orthodontic Assistant
Leisha loves 2 things, ortho and TikTok. And her dog and long lashes… and her jeep. OK, that’s 5 things. Leisha is a lover. Which is also what makes her such an excellent ortho assistant. She loves her patients and always treats them right.
Bobbi
Orthodontic Assistant
Bobbi is a mystery. It’s like every week we learn some crazy new thing about Bobbi. She’s the absolute sweetest human ever! She loves pickleball and golf and is great at whispering. Also, if you ever need help with your computer, Bobbi knows a guy.
Ja Nai’
Orthodontic Assistant
Just like a dolphin, Ja Nai’ is our “free spirit” assistant. But unlike a dolphin, she has a smashing youtube channel to showcase her amazing cooking, makes the most amazing mac and fried chicken, and is a newlywed to the most handsome guy in Katy.
Mayani
Receptionist
Meet Mayani, our fabulous receptionist with a name so cool it ranks as the 14,590th most popular name in the US! She’s proudly Mexican and Belizean but she can’t pick her favorite food. She has an open heart for all and is a proud cat-dog lady (3 dogs, 1 cat). Come say hi! She loves making new friends (and trying to guess your favorite rom-com)!
MJ
Orthodonitic Assistant
MJ is all things beauty. Nails, hair, lashes, and of course, beautiful headshots for your ortho records. However, each time you come into the office you might not recognize MJ. She changes her hair color on a weekly basis. She also has the cutest bunny, Lola, but she hasn’t dyed her bunny… yet. We’re certain you’ll love MJ, she’s hilarious!
Alexa
Office Music, Joke and Weather Report Provider
Alexa has very limited experience in the dental field. She has no hands so… she makes up for it with her looks. She plays great music, tells “ok” jokes, and makes great company. In her spare time she enjoys sitting on the counter in the clinic and studying the BFO logo on the wall.
