Hello there! As the new patient Treatment Coordinator and Office ManagerI keep very busy. I love working with our new patients and their families in understanding the orthodontic process and getting excited with them to start their orthodontic journey. I have worked for Dr. Luddington since 2000, and I love working in such a friendly and professional environment. My favorite part of my job is the smiles! It always makes my day when our patients get their braces off and just smile from ear to ear. I also enjoy their excitementwhen we schedule the date for them to get braces on, because they are on their way to a beautiful new smile!
I love our patients and their families. Getting to know each person and watching the change a beautiful smile has on them and their confidence never grows old. Im proud to work with such a great doctor and team, all of whom focus on whats important: making our patients smile! I manage our operatory and provide chairside assistance during orthodontic procedures. I enjoy answering questions about orthodontics and just chatting about life.
Welcome! I am a financial coordinator, and I keep busy by setting up contracts with patients and helping them make the most oftheir insurance coverage. I truly enjoy working with both the patients and staff in our office. We have a lot of fun here and it makes for a great work environment as well as a welcoming atmosphere for our patients!
I love our patients smiles, especially seeing each persons reaction when we remove their braces. They are like new people, filled with self-confidence. Its fun to get to know patients during their treatment and to hear about all the different things happening in their lives. I assist Dr. Luddington with placing and removing braces and with adjusting wires, too. I also make expanders and retainers.
When not working, I love spending time with my two nephews and three nieces. They are amazing and I enjoy spoiling them. Im also an avid reader and I play tennis and love spendingtime with my puppy Roxy.
Hey there! My name is Arabelle. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I moved to Nevada and now living in Utah with my wonderful husband. I began working for Dr. Luddington on August 2017 and have loved it ever since. I love working with different patients daily. You can usually find me assisting Dr. Luddington with doing adjustments on patients, starting their adventure to a great smile, and removing braces when they're finished. My favorite part is being able to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for all those who enter our office. Trust me! Once you enter our office, you will become part of our orthodontic family.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I usually like to play board games and being outside to play basketball, tennis, and volleyball, etc. Once in a while I do get a little competitive playing video games with my husband.
As the Scheduling Coordinator, Ilove to help patients and their families from the first phone call through their last day of treatment and become friends along the way. I love to watch the process from when a patient first gets their braces on up to the moment they come off. The radiant smiles at the end are what makes my job fun. I love working with our fun team, who also love to help people.
