Lanay - Laboratory Technician

Although you may not see or hear Lanay as much as the other team members she is an integral part of the team at Dana Orthodontics. Most of the appliances that are in our patient’s mouths were custom made by “Artist Lanay”. Lanay has been married for 23 years and has 3 sons and 1 daughter. All of her children are in high school or college and they have great bone structure due to the TEN gallons of milk that they consume each week! Lanay serves at her church as a Bible study leader and mentor to women. She also loves to paint in her spare time. Her meticulous attention to detail and artistic ability make her an outstanding lab tech. Lanay loves to laugh and is an encourager to co-workers and patients alike. She loves working at Dana Orthodontics because of the Christian foundation that this office has been built upon and the flexible schedule that works well with her busy lifestyle.

Neil - CEO/CFO and all else at Dana Orthodontics

Neil is the captain of this smile making ship! He knows the ins and outs of the front and back office and everything in between. He can rap about dentistry with the docs, revive a computer in meltdown mode and still talk with parents about the latest ball game score or new style of washing machine! Neil is our king of multi-tasking as well as our resident counselor. He and Dr. Dana have been married for over 9 very happy years and they love working together as a team both at home and in the office.

She has worked in the dental profession since 2005 and is enjoying learning and understanding orthodontic care. Lynae recently moved to Nunn and is excited to drive 40 miles everyday to the city!
