Lindsay Yaple, Treatment Coordinator.
Hi, my name is Lindsay. I have worked in the orthodontic field for 10 years and absolutely love it! I thoroughly enjoy being the Treatment Coordinator at Olsen Orthodontics. In my free time you can usually find me outdoors -- surfing, playing beach volleyball, camping, riding motorcycles, or taking my dog, Casino, for a walk. I look forward to meeting and helping you in your process to achieving an amazing smile.

Deanna Azar , Reception & Financial Coordinator.
Hello! My name is Deanna. I have enjoyed working as a dental assistant, dental and orthodontic front office administrator since 1995. From 2007 to 2011 I stayed home to raise my twin daughters who are now 4 years old! I am excited to be back working in the Orthodontic field where bright smiles are made brilliant! I appreciate the opportunity orthodontics allows me to really get know patients and their families. Apart from work I love spending time with my daughters, cooking, and taking day trips. I am also an avid Food Network watcher, amateur food critic and I love to eat. Please feel free to call the office with any questions and to set up a complementary new patient exam.

Maria Ahonen, R.D.A.
Hi, my name is Maria. I have been in the dental field for the last 9 years. Early on I discovered Orthodontics to be my passion; I love what I do and I am fortunate to work with some wonderful people. On the weekends you will probably find me with my 3 nephews at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. I love to travel, and there is so much of the world I still want to see. I enjoy meeting new people and eating all kinds of foods. I look forward to meeting you and making you feel like part of our family. You want a great smile? You have come to the right place!
