Meet the Team

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.

Morgan is one of the friendliest faces you’ll meet here at Garlock Orthodontics.  As one of our treatment coordinators, she will walk you through the beginning stages of care and answer all your questions!  Away from work you can find this girl dominating on a volleyball court.  She’s a force on and off the court, and we love having her on our team!  We are confident you will too.

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.

Hello, my name is Ana. I work as the clinic lead and have been with Dr. Garlock since 2017. It has been amazing working with him and all the staff, and all the great patient relationships I’ve built there. I’ve always loved seeing people smile but not everyone smiles because they simply don’t like the way their smile looks, so I’ve always wanted to help in building up that confidence. Working in a fun environment that also brings laughter and smiles to patients is an amazing feeling! In the words of Marilyn Monroe, “A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear.”
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and my two furry babies! You can also find me eating donuts which I simply love!

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.

Maya was born in California, raised in Texas, then moved to Colorado in 2020.  She embraced life in snow country and took up snowboarding, and especially loves the Denver a.k.a. “Bass Capital” music scene.  She’s our resident raver, our fearless adventurer, and is the only girl we know with a dachshund named Jiminy Cricket!

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!

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!

Jasmine became interested in orthodontics at the ripe age of 16 and immediately knew it was a good fit. She graduated from dental assisting school at Pickens Tech and has worked as an assistant ever since. Colorado is Jasmine’s native home and she
intends to keep it that way! She loves spending time with her daughter (aka. The Cutest Baby Ever), and especially enjoys watching her discover new things. When she’s not spending time with her family, she can be found hanging out with friends at a rooftop lounge or walking her dog RJ. At the first meeting, you might think Jasmine is quiet and shy, but don’t fall for it. She’s a closet spaz, and we love her! We know you will too.

Lezly owes her career in ortho assisting to her grandma, who urged her early on to pursue the medical field.  She has never regretted taking that advice!  She began dental assisting school while still in high school.  Having spent years in the ortho field, her favorite part of the job is removing braces and seeing how excited patients are to see their new smile.  Seeing the process come full circle and building relationships along the way are what make this job so rewarding.

Kim loves orthodontics so much she has had braces 3 times!  (Wear your retainers, kids!).  She has worked in the dental field since she was 18 years old and loves interacting with patients.  The best compliment you can give her is to fall asleep when she’s treating you because she wants her patients to feel comfortable.  We hope you get to take a nap in her chair soon.
