Be Treated Like Family
Our team's committed to giving you a beautiful new smile and greeting you with a warm and friendly face.
Gabriel
Financial Coordinator
Hi! I'm the newest face to the team I grew up in Manilla, Philippines where I went to school as well. My typical day would be spending time with my husband, family, and puppy.
I love to play volleyball and have a passion for the LGBT community. My ability to work in any setting and multi-task with efficiency allows me to show my skills at the office.
Patty
Insurance Coordinator
I've worked in the dental field for almost 20 years, nine of those at Brodsky Orthodontics. That experience allows me to work hard on behalf of our patients to successfully maximize any insurance benefits. In filing insurance claims on behalf of our patients, I’m helping to create healthy smiles for families in our community, and I love being part of that team effort.
Outside of the office, I love hanging out with my four kids. We all love being outdoors, and spend a lot of time hiking, camping, playing, and laughing together.
Jessica
Scheduling Coordinator
I’ve been with Brodsky Orthodontics since 2016, and I love being part of the front lines when it comes to new patients. As a scheduling coordinator, I speak with all of our incoming patients as they schedule their first appointments.
I work hard to accommodate each patient’s busy schedule and enjoy being part of their journey to a straighter smile. When I’m not in the office, my kids are my main hobby. I stay busy with their soccer games, but also love crafting, baking, traveling, and just hanging out with my family and friends.
Roxy
Patient Services
I’ve been with Brodsky Orthodontics for five years, and I look forward to many more years with this amazing team. I take a lot of pride in keeping a positive attitude, and my goal every day I come to work is to give our patients the best possible customer service.
From greeting each person with a smile to adopting a “can-do” attitude, it’s important to me that our patients and staff feel supported and valued by me. When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my family in Mexico. I also enjoy cooking and hanging out with my children.
Yvette
Patient Scheduling Coordinator
Hi! I'm newer to the team, I'm from North Long Beach and attended David Starr Jordan High school. I love to cook, play soccer, bake, decorate and enjoy bootcamp!
I have a passion for breast cancer awareness. I consider myself to be organized, responsible, and trustworthy all of these skills are going to help me excel here at Brodsky Orthodontics!
Brianna
Administrative Assistant
I’ve been with the Brodsky team for two years, and I’m still excited to be here! I’m a local, having grown up in Lakewood and attended Lakewood high school and Cerritos College. My multitasking skills will come in handy working in the front office of a busy orthodontist practice.
When I’m not working, I like to cook and bake. I also like doing makeup and even went to beauty school! I’m passionate about bringing awareness to the epilepsy community and have volunteered with the Epilepsy Foundation of greater L.A. since I was 13.
Melissa
Patient Services
I've been with the Brodsky Family for four months and love it! Originally from Menifee, CA, I'm so excited to be down in the Lakewood area. I attended Mount San Jancinto Community College, and my life tagline is to radiate positivity. My friendly and hardworking skills are going to help me excel here on the team!
When I'm not at work I love to BAKE! I also enjoy watching movies with my daughter and boyfriend. I have a passion for equality and human rights. If I were a Star Wars Character, I would be Chewbacca.
Laura
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA)
I grew up in Mexico City until I was 12, then came to the U.S. to continue my education. I started with Dr. Brodsky more than 25 years ago as an intern. I’ve loved working here, watching my career grow and my knowledge expand.
My favorite part of being an RDA is the joy on my patients’ faces when their braces come off and they get to see their new smile for the very first time. I have two daughters, Gwendolyn and Genevieve, and on my days off, we love going to the movies together.
Donna
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA) & Laboratory Services
I’ve been with Dr. Brodsky for 20 years, and plan to be here for 20 more. Although I originally studied child psychology at Cal Baptist, my calling in orthodontics actually began back when I had braces myself. After an orthodontic assistant explained how she’d gotten into her career, something stuck with me, and it was the path I eventually chose to take.
I love facing new challenges every day. That's what keeps me on my toes and gives me something to work towards. Outside of work, I love to get creative, whether it’s knitting, leather work, or creating jewelry. I bought a house recently and have really enjoyed relaxing in it with my daughter, watching Disney cartoons and learning about history.
Janina
Orthodontic Assistant
I was born in Ecuador but came to the United States in 1970 as an exchange student because I wanted to improve my English skills. I’ve been in the orthodontic field for nearly 30 years, and 15 of those with Brodsky Orthodontics.
I love our fun and professional working environment. I also love how our team is friendly and genuinely caring. Outside the office, I spend a lot of time with my beautiful grandchildren, Nolan and Ava. We enjoy watching and cheering for the Patriots and the Celtics (except when they play the Lakers, of course!)
Alicia
Sterilization Coordinator & Laboratory Services
I've been in charge of sterilization at Brodsky Orthodontics for more than 12 years, and I also help make some of the appliances in the dental lab. I love this job very much and I truly enjoy the relaxed but professional atmosphere.
I live at home with my sister, Laura, who is an orthodontic assistant, her husband, and my amazing nieces. When I’m not at the office, I like to hang out with friends, go to the movie theater, and cook. I also love traveling all over the world with my cousins.
Marlene
Orthodontic Assistant
My career started in Northern California, where I grew up, but I moved southward once I became engaged to my wonderful husband. I've worked as an orthodontic assistant for 15 years, and can’t wait to come to work each day.
I'm never tired of helping patients achieve a beautiful new smile, and I work hard daily to learn more and improve my skills. Outside the office, I spend most of my time with my sweet son and our two miniature chihuahuas. I played clarinet for almost 20 years in a Portuguese marching band, and still love to make music when I can.
Maria
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA)
I attended the University of the East College of Dentistry in Manila, Philippines before I joined Brodsky Orthodontics in November of 2014. I’ve loved dentistry since I was young, and I love seeing how happy my patients are when their braces are removed.
Outside of work, I love anything involving music, including dancing and singing. My husband and I like to explore locally and beyond, and we keep ourselves laughing by playing silly pranks on our family and friends.
Liezl
Orthodontic Assistant (RDA)
My love for orthodontics began in the Philippines, where I grew up and studied dentistry at Manila Central University. I joined the Brodsky Orthodontics team in June of 2015, and I love helping our patients achieve the smile of their dreams.
Our team works hard to give our patients nothing but the best care and support. I enjoy cooking, baking cookies, spending time with my kids and my husband, and planning my dream trip to Europe.
Desiree
Orthodontic Assistant
I've been a part of the Brodsky Family for 4 years. As an orthodontic assistant, the Golden Rule is very important to me: I always treat our patients the way I would want to be treated. That means providing respectful, skillful, and compassionate care.
I’m a people person and love meeting new patients! I’m also extremely patient, which can come in handy with patients who require a little extra TLC. When I’m not working, I love to watch Netflix and with my husband. I’m also a big sports fan!
Joseline
Orthodontic Assistant
I've been working at Brodsky's for about 4 months now, I'm from Long Beach and went to Cerritos College. I consider myself a team player, a dedicated worker and a real desire to help others.
When I'm not working I enjoy going on adventures with my boyfriend and little brother. I also enjoy sewing, I love making my own clothes, or buying clothes and altering them.
Karly
Orthodontic Assistant
I'm one of the newest members of the team! My main job is to assist the doctors but behind the scenes, I hope to make people laugh and feel good. I'm from Long Beach but currently live in Torrance. When I'm not helping patients I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and going to Disneyland. I have a passion for homelessness and animals in shelters.
Priscilla
Orthodontic Assistant
I'm one of the newest members of the team, just starting about three weeks ago. Growing up in Garden Grove, I'm a local to this area. While I'm not at work, I enjoy going on walks with my babies and shopping! My motto is, everything happens for a reason.
