Donna
Patient Relations Coordinator / Treatment Coordinator
I grew up in Chesterfield, Virginia and attended the University of Richmond. My goal is to provide our patients with detailed information regarding their treatment and commitment. I truly enjoy this exciting position because it allows me to get to know each patient and follow them throughout their treatment plan.
I spend my personal time with my husband and three wonderful children. My weekends usually include watching my son play baseball and spending time at the beach with my family. We are loyal Washington Nationals fans and enjoy attending games as often as possible.

Deanna
Lead Orthodontic Assistant
I graduated from Highland Springs High School, and attended Fortis College for dental assisting. It was there that I realized my passion for orthodontics. I did my last six weeks of internship here at East End Orthodontics in November 2009 and became a full-time employee in 2010. I enjoy seeing our patients every day and love the before and after smiles.
Outside of the office, I like to spend time with my son C.W and daughter Abigail. If we’re not watching my son play football, we’re spending quality time as a family simply doing the things that make us happy.
Fatimah
Orthodontic Assistant
Hi,I’m Fatimah! I’ve been an orthodontic assistant for over 20 years, and I truly love what I do. I’m originally from Baltimore, Maryland—and yes, I’m a huge Ravens fan! My journey into orthodontics actually started as a patient. I was so amazed by my smile transformation that I knew I wanted to help others feel that same confidence. Now, I get to do just that every day—there’s nothing better than seeing a patient’s face light up when they see their new smile.
When I’m not at work, I’m spending time with my wonderful family—my husband, son, and daughter. I also love to cook and even went to culinary school! Whether I’m in the kitchen or in the office, I’m all about creating joy and helping people feel their best
Wendy
Orthodontic Assistant
My career in orthodontics began 23 years ago. Over this time I have helped patients achieve their beautiful and healthy smile. I enjoy the challenging cases the most and the end results are always satisfying.
I spend most of my spare time with my son. I want to enjoy every minute I have with him. I also love taking care of my two (dachshund) fur babies. My favorite pastime is watching football. I'm a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Chris
Office Coordinator
I was originally born in New Jersey but I grew up splitting time between there and Richmond. I love watching the patients grow and see how their treatment progresses. When not in the office, I enjoy traveling, playing videos games, spending time with my three pets(1 dog and 2 cats), and playing slow pitch softball. As an avid Yankees fan, I spend a lot of my free time watching and going to Yankees games with my wife Kate.
