Meet the Team

Jen is a Colorado native who joined Garlock Ortho in 2019 as an additional Treatment/Obs Coordinator. She has worked in various capacities over the years but a desire to work closer to home where she can still meet and interact with new people all the time made her a perfect fit for our office. One of Jen’s hidden talents is what she refers to as her “dog nose”, or her ability to sniff out smells and trouble. With triplet teenage boys this is more of a superpower than a hidden talent! She’s a great asset to our GO family.

She didn’t fix the gap in her teeth until she started working for an orthodontist, and the transformation in her confidence was unreal. Now she’s part of that process for other people, and after 16 years, she says that feeling of literally changing someone’s life never gets old! When she’s not running her son to baseball or her daughter to cheer practice, you’ll find her hanging out with her little grandson and his momma. One day she’s going to try out for The Voice and rock the music world, but in the meantime, she’s already living the dream. She looks forward to seeing you in the office!

Heather is a Colorado native who has been working for Garlock Ortho since 2017. Heather is somewhat a jack of all trades in the office, but for the most part she is what we call our “Insurance Queen”. She’s been married for over 20 years to her husband, Eric, and she has two daughters, one of whom just got braces! She loves working in a positive, fun environment where she feels like part of one, big family, but Heather especially relishes the relationships with the patients. Watching the transformation in people’s smiles is one of the biggest perks of the job. When she’s not busy working or hanging out with her family, you can find Heather volunteering at the animal sanctuary. What else would you expect from someone who owns a hedgehog? (Did I mention she loves snakes?) She is a vital part of our Garlock Ortho team.

Bio coming soon…

Kristy was raised in southern California, and even though she’s lived in Colorado longer than anywhere else, the beach will always be home. She has a BS Degree from Brigham Young University and managed to raise two children without ever having CPS called. She’s the Marketing Director at Garlock Orthodontics, so when she sees you at the office and asks to take your picture for the internet, she’s not a creeper; she’s just doing her job. She remembers what a game-changer it was when she got my braces off, and she says it’s incredibly rewarding to see others have that experience. Dr. Garlock and his assistants genuinely change lives, and she considers it a privilege to be part of it in some small way.

Nicole is the most full-circle member of our staff as she was one of Dr. Garlock’s first patients! Now she’s one of the first voices you will hear when you call our office. Nicole is currently attending business school at CU Denver. As a Colorado native she shares the Centennial State with her sister and prefers the summer activities to the winter activities. A former dancer, an avid reader, and a full-time student in addition to a full-time employee, Nicole is a force to be reckoned with! We are grateful to have her on our team.

From mortgage lender to blackjack dealer, Silvia has worn a lot of hats over the years. Now she works as our front desk concierge, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Originating from the Los Angeles area, Silvia has called Colorado home for 30 years now. She has spent a lot of her life caring for others, which makes her a natural fit for our front desk. Silvia always puts family and the Lord first, and still manages to make time for her dog, Snoopy!

When Juliana graduated from dental assisting school, the field of orthodontics was her focus because of its rewarding nature. As a Colorado native, Juliana also taps into her adventurous side despite her tendency to split her chin or break a few ribs in the process. Luckily, Dr. Garlock fixed her right up after she chipped a tooth in a scooter accident! She has been working as an assistant since 2019 and keeps herself entertained by keeping her three brothers in line and chilling with her dog, Ruby.

Andrea has worked in the orthodontic field for well over a decade. After getting her feet wet working at the front desk, she became intrigued with the one-on-one patient care and transitioned to being an assistant. She takes great care of anyone sitting in her chair and loves witnessing the transformations of the people who walk through our door. Outside of the office, Andrea eats, sleeps and breathes baseball! She loves everything about the sport, especially watching her boys play. Between work, 4 busy kids, and one fur baby, Andrea is never bored!

Kaylah’s not the type who likes to sit behind a desk, so she’s the perfect fit for serving our patients. There’s never a dull moment! Kaylah graduated in 2018 from Cherokee Trail High School and received her associate degree in science. While Kaylah ultimately pursues her bachelor’s degree in biology, she’s polishing up on her keen interest in the dental / orthodontic field as an assistant. Once a patient of Garlock Orthodontics, she has learned to put into practice all the skills that once guided her through her own journey of getting braces on and off. We are confident you will love her as much as we do!

Serena is one of those special breeds who went from patient to employee at Garlock Orthodontics. Serena graduated from CU Denver with a degree in biology where she served as President of the Biology Club. She also minored in chemistry, sealing her love of all things science! She is our resident “Swiftie”, and plans to attend dental school in the near future.

Stacey was born and raised in Colorado and she loves everything about it. She has been fortunate to work in the orthodontic world for over half of her life, and has been blessed to work in practices that have stayed on the cutting edge of technology and treatment. She makes the most of Colorado winters on the slopes either skiing or snowboarding. Otherwise, she loves spending her time enjoying music, the outdoors and her family. Put them all together and that’s the perfect day!
