Rhonda-Treatment Coordinator

 Rhonda is a staple at IOS. This place would not be the same without her! Starting her career in 1986, Rhonda gets the award for most days, months and years spent with Iowa Orthodontic Solutions.

I help patients with scheduling, insurance, and financial questions  to get them started on their journey of orthodontics... all with a smile. My favorite part of working here is seeing our young patients grow up into beautiful, smiling young adults right before our eyes. Our office is one of warmth and friendliness from the day of your new patient exam until the day your braces come off. It has been fun to see over the years our “kid” patients now grown and bringing their families in for braces!
