A few weeks ago, we said goodbye to our front desk scheduling coordinator, Jessie, ☎️ as she moves out of state. We will miss having her as part of the Erickson Orthodontics team, but wish her the best of luck with her move! 🚚

We celebrated our August birthdays this week- Maddie and Heather. 🧁 Maddie is our newest ortho assistant, and Heather has been a part of the team as an ortho assistant the longest (11 years). 🥳

Welcome to the Erickson Orthodontics team, Maddie and Reagan! 🦷 Maddie is our newest ortho assistant, and Reagan works in our office lab, making retainers and helping our assistants keep things running smoothly. We are excited and grateful to have them on the team! 🤗

Here’s a friendly reminder to not forget to schedule your next appointment! ☎️🦷😊 With school being back in session, our early morning and late afternoon appointments are filling up fast. Because we schedule our patients in 8 week cycles, it’s important to schedule your next appointment before you leave the office so we can best accommodate your scheduling needs. 🤗

Celebrating our July birthdays! 🥳 Happy birthday to our ortho assistant, Mari, and our scheduling coordinator, Jessie! 🧁

The Erickson Orthodontics team says thanks for rolling with us! We hope you had a blast! And a big shout out to Epic Rollertainment for having us out! 🛼🤗🩷

Congratulations to Krista! 🏆 The winner of our salsa making competition! 💃🏼🌮 A few of us made salsa yesterday, and we each got blindfolded to taste test/choose our favorite one! They were ALL delicious! 🗳️👏🏼😋

On Thursday, we had not one, not two, but EIGHT patients get their braces off (which is a bit more than we normally have in a day 😆). So we decided to celebrate “deband” day by treating a few patients to some extra goodies! 🎈🍿🥰 “Debanding” (getting braces removed) is a big accomplishment for our patients, as a lot of work goes into keeping up with good oral hygiene and being consistent with elastics. Keep up the good work everybody! 🙌🏽

Thank you @lakefrontfamilydentistry for treating our office to some delicious BBQ this week! 😋

Thank you to our patients who bring us delicious goodies! So sweet! 💕💕💕

We hope everyone has a blessed Easter Sunday! 🌷🌸💐🌼🌷

Today was a tragic day in history! One we will never forget. As we remember those lives that were lost on this day 20 years ago, may we also remember the lives that also fought so hard to protect and serve us on that day. God Bless America ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸

Flashback Friday to our Patient Appreciation Night earlier this month. Such a fun time celebrating our wonderful patients and the joy they bring to our office. We love our patients!

Everyone here at Erickson Orthodontics would like to Thank those who have served our country and gave their lives to protect our freedom. May we never forget 🇺🇸

Happy Birthday Dr. Erickson! 🎉🎉🎉

Please meet Crystal and Jessie, our newest members of the team!

We hope that you are all doing well. Our great team has grown and shifted some and we wanted to update our patients. We are excited to announce that Tori has joined Michelle in managing our office. Baylee, who is also from the front desk, is now helping out the back office team,. Stephanie is working from home to support our team. With Tori and Baylee leaving the front desk, we have welcomed Jessie and Crystal to our team in the last few months. They are doing a fabulous job. Melanie, one of our Orthodontic Assistants, is going to school to become a Dental Hygienist. We are excited for her and we look forward to her helping out still from time to time. Maricela, who is an experienced Orthodontic Assistant, will be joining our team in about a month. As always, our team strives to serve our patients with extraordinary care. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We wear pink on Wednesdays! In October🎀

We need your help! On Sunday, two fraudulent reviews were written by two people who are not patients and have no part with our office. Google has been very unhelpful with issues like these. If all of our fans sign onto their Google accounts and flag the fake reviews as “not relevant,” Google will eventually take it down. Thank you to all of our patients and we are grateful for all your support!

Happy Fourth of July from our office to you! 🇺🇸

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader! We hope you have a great day Dr. Erickson!🎈
