Burke & Redford Orthodontists Hires Three New Staff Members

Burke & Redford Orthodontists—an orthodontic practice that serves kids, teens, and adults in Riverside County—is proud to announce the hiring of three new staff members—a clinical orthodontic assistant, a records technician, and a scheduling coordinator.

“The reason why Burke & Redford Orthodontists gets such great results is because of the training, experience, and dedication of its staff members,” said Dr. Ryan Redford. “After all, any orthodontic practice has access to orthodontic technologies such as Damon braces and Invisalign. What separates Burke & Redford Orthodontists from the rest is the well-trained and experienced staff.”

Burke & Redford Orthodontists was founded in 1991 by Dr. Michael Burke, with Dr. Redford joining the practice in 2016. With 40+ years of combined experience providing high-quality orthodontic treatment, Dr. Redford and Dr. Burke belong to some of the most elite professional groups in their field.

Continuing education is a constant for all staff members, which allows the practice to use the most advanced and leading-edge technology available, such as the Planmeca ProMax 3D x-ray system and the iTero intraoral scanner.

Dr. Redford and Dr. Burke are supported by seven clinical staff members, which include five clinical orthodontic assistants, a treatment coordinator, and a records technician.

Orthodontic clinical assistants perform tasks such as taking x-rays and impressions of patient teeth, changing wires on metal and ceramic braces, checking clear aligners, preparing patients for orthodontic procedures, providing guidance on oral hygiene, and assisting the orthodontists during routine and emergency procedures.

Perla is the newest orthodontic clinical assistant, having joined the team in 2020. Although she started as a records technician, Perla added to her skills quickly and will soon be obtaining her orthodontic assistant permit. Her sense of humor makes her popular with patients of all ages.

Joining Perla is the practice’s new records technician, Lexi. Lexi enjoys getting to know patients while taking x-rays or intra-oral photos and has the unique ability to instantly connect with patients. “Perla and Lexi are both fast learners and well-trained,” said Dr. Redford. “Burke & Redford Orthodontists is lucky to have both of them as part of our clinical staff.”

The administrative staff at Burke & Redford Orthodontists are responsible for all administrative tasks, such as scheduling, helping patients at the front desk, and coordinating insurance benefits to make orthodontic care more affordable.

The newest member of the administrative team is Anna—the practice’s scheduling coordinator who joined the practice in 2020. Besides greeting patients, Anna also schedules appointments over the telephone. With 10+ years of retail experience, Anna is a customer service pro who helps to keep the office running smoothly.

“Burke and Redford Orthodontists is very proud of the team that has been assembled over the years,” said Dr. Redford. “Everyone is committed to making each patient’s orthodontic experience as easy and stress-free as possible. With a commitment to patient care and excellence, the practice is able to provide the best orthodontic care in the Inland Empire.”

Burke & Redford Orthodontists offer a wide range of orthodontic services, including interceptive orthodontics for children, including kid braces. If a child is nervous about receiving treatment, parents can rest easy knowing the doctors and staff are the best kid orthodontists in Temecula and Lake Elsinore.
