Meet Our Team

Award-Winning Smiles

Get To Know Us

Our friendly, fun, and caring team is here to ensure every visit to our office is the best part of your day. Enhancing your smile is exciting, and we love to be a part of it!

Dr. Adam Ward

Orthodontist

Dr. Adam Ward loves what he does. Where else can you help people love their smiles, work with amazing people, and tell bad puns all day?

Dr. Ward considers himself a native Oregonian even though he has lived all over the place. He completed his dental and orthodontic training at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland.

He is married to his amazing wife, Jessica, and she lovingly humors his ever-evolving dad jokes. His two kids, Henry and Hazel, still roll their eyes at his shenanigans. When Dr. Ward is not fixing teeth, he loves to run, bike, and spend time with his family, often involving games, jokes, and cookies.

Jamie Peterman

Office Manager

Jamie is the glue that holds our office together. She is the best office manager around. When she is not taking care of patients and dealing with Dr. Ward’s every crazy idea, she is keeping this office running like the well-oiled machine that it is. We would all be lost without her. Outside the office she is a boy mom and a dog mom who has some of the coolest earrings ever. She also has a strange obsession with german chocolate things, which Dr. Ward can’t understand.

Laurie VanCurler

Treatment Coordinator

Laurie is one of the first friendly and smiling faces you will see in our office. She is our Treatment Coordinator Extraordinaire. Nothing brings her more joy than running around and making sure our patients feel at home and have their questions and concerns answered, along with literally running around. We would be hard pressed to find someone who is more committed to working out and staying healthy than Laurie. Laurie has doggos and kiddos but her kiddos are older and moved out, the dogs haven’t figured that one out yet.

Deb Bauer

Reception

Deb is quite possibly the nicest person you will ever meet, period. She starts everyone’s day with a warm smile and will make you feel like you just walked into the best family reunion (with the fun side of the family, not the weird side you only see every other year). She will also proudly show off the latest photos of her lovely grandchildren if you give her a chance.

Luci Herr

Scheduling Coordinator

Luci is often the first and the last face you see when you’re visiting our office. She makes sure everyone is scheduled for the proper appointments and she and Deb make our front office Dream Team. Luci has an excellent eye for detail and is the one who makes our lovely gift baskets and patient appreciation gifts. Her only fault is her gift-wrapping skills are too good, just ask her about Secret Santa.

 

Maggie Smith

Orthodontic Assistant

Maggie is so prepared and organized it makes Dr. Ward feel like his life is in shambles. She uses this organizational mastery to make our clinic run like a dream (a well-organized dream, not one of those weird ones where you wake up going huh?). Aside from her ability to complete her Christmas shopping in April, she also is busy with her kids and their sports activities.

Nicole Dickinson

Orthodontic Assistant

Nicole walks around the clinic like she owns the place. Dr. Ward thinks she walks loudly to scare away her arch nemesis… spiders! Nicole is one of our amazing assistants and she is one of the best. She is also one of the few people not afraid to tell Dr. Ward when his jokes are really bad, like audible groan level bad. Nicole is super busy outside of the clinic keeping up with her kids and her dogs.

Siera Lloyd

Orthodontic Assistant

Siera is our resident member of Gen Z, and as such, we tease her mercilessly about her lack of knowledge of cool things, like 80’s references and the difference between Backstreet Boys and ‘Nsync. Secretly we are all jealous of her knowledge of what the cool kids are saying. Siera is one of our amazing assistants and loves working with and getting to know all of our patients.

Tiffany Hill

Orthodontic Assistant

Tiffany is such a nice person, like suspicious-level-must-be-a-spy nice. She is one of the few assistants Dr. Ward can count on to agree with him when the clinic is too hot and we need to kick the fan on. She is a wonderful assistant and our patients love her. Tiffany has her time outside of the clinic spent chasing her little ones and keeping up with them all.

Chrystal Stutesman

Orthodontic Assistant

Chrystal is one of our assistants, but she is here part of the time. Her other time is spent being a real estate tycoon of some sorts. She is also one of those people who never age, like Paul Rudd or Keanu Reeves. You would never believe that she is a grandma, but it’s true. Chrystal is extremely experienced and puts everyone she works with at ease.

Heather Duval

Orthodontic Assistant & Social Media Coordinator

Heather is another one of our fabulous part-time assistants. She spends her time outside of the office chasing her son, her twin daughters and her dog. Heather also is our resident social media guru and is responsible for the fun activities we do here in the clinic. Rumor has it that somewhere, there is a rather large closet where Heather stores her hoard of shoes. Just kidding, Dr. Ward is just jealous of her awesome footwear.

Kenzie Yager

Orthodontic Assistant

Kenzie is one of our part-time assistants. When she is not in the clinic she is probably bench pressing her children. She is our resident fitness buff and could easily beat Dr. Ward in an arm wrestling contest. She also makes amazing sourdough things that are ridiculously good. She is someone who puts her patients at ease with her calm demeanor and makes everyone feel right at home.

Yuri Elgar

Lab Tech

Yuri is our lab technician who makes all of the wonderful metal devices we use to make your smile perfect. Not only is she skilled with solder and wires, but she is the only person with whom Dr. Ward can speak Spanish! Outside of the office she enjoys spending time with her family and thinking about how she can kick Dr. Ward if he asks for another thing in the lab. She is amazing and if you ever get the chance, pop in to the lab and say hola!

Nina King

Lab Tech

Nina is our office deep-thinker. She loves analyzing and asking you “why do you feel that way?” and “what does that mean?” She is also another of our lab technicians. She has a great eye for detail and cares greatly about our patients getting the best results possible. Not only that, she is also a gamer, which Dr. Ward can relate to and they often compare notes of which games they are playing.

Experience5-Star Care

We get excellent results, plain and simple. Check out some of our awesome 5-star reviews from so many of our happy patients over the years!

Jil D.
The staff is very kind and friendly. They are also very punctual! They are helpful with questions or concerns. Also, they have been very accommodating for broken appliances and can get us on quickly. I really appreciate them!
Lucy B.
These folks are incredible about working with my family's busy schedule. It's wonderful to have multiple children seen at the same time, no matter what the situation each is experiencing. Thank you Ward Family Orthodontics!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lucy! We're delighted to hear our scheduling flexibility has made your family's orthodontic care easier. Your trust in us is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon!
Holly G.
Well, it’s hard to say getting braces is enjoyable, but these people really do a good job of making the best of it. The office is a pleasant and efficient experience and the people are kind. There is a good amount of personality to the space as well—there is a candy wall for all the things you get to have once your braces are off, and there was a great pumpkin contest on display in the fall. Plus the kids earn wooden nickels for their pain and suffering 😬 and those can be exchanged for cool stuff kids like.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that our team and fun office environment helped make your experience more enjoyable. We look forward to continuing to support your orthodontic journey!
Caroline S.
Very nice employees! Always helpful! Very uplifting environment!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Caroline! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our team and enjoyed the uplifting environment. Your kind words motivate us to keep providing excellent service. We look forward to seeing you again!😁
Monica D.
I’ve had an amazing experience with this office. The entire team is kind, professional, and incredibly informative. My aligner journey has been going so smoothly, and I’m so glad I chose this office. I highly recommend them for both children and adults.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Monica, for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear about your positive experience. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care to all our patients, and your recommendation means a lot to us.
Mandy L.
They are amazing! Always fast and super friendly! They were amazing with my adult braces and now I am taking both of my kids there. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mandy, for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with adult braces and appreciate your trust in us for your children's orthodontic care.
