Meet the Team

We have a great team!

They are all so talented and very caring. They really take time to get to know our patients and their families … not because it’s part of their job description, but because they genuinely enjoy creating those relationships!

We have a great time with each other and this closeness shows in everything we do: it is important to all of us to work in a positive, upbeat environment, where we support each other in order to provide the best experience for our patients.

My team is skilled, professional, and dedicated to caring for each patient like family. I could not be more proud to work alongside such remarkable people!

Paula

Office Manager

I enjoy having good relationships with our staff and working with them to keep our practice running smoothly. That’s important, as it means our patients and their families have pleasant visits and an exceptional treatment experience as they change their smiles!

My husband Kenny and I have been married for more than 35 years. We have a grown son, Brock, daughter-in-law Brittany, and a Scottish Terrier. Kenny and I love sports, especially Cardinals baseball and Alabama football, and we love the beach, too.

 

Ashley

Financial Coordinator

I love connecting with our awesome patients and their families! I enjoy being able to watch each person’s smile transform into something beautiful while keeping up with their activities and the big events going on in their lives!

Outside of work, my husband Ryan and I spend our free time loving on our beautiful daughter, Laney and dog, Zoey. As a family we love to go camping and ride our side-by-side, have game nights or cuddle up on the couch watching movies or sports. We like watching The World of Outlaws sprint car races on Friday and Saturday nights and cheering on the Chiefs on Sundays!

Scheduling Coordinator

My favorite part about working at BauerHite is interacting with the patients and seeing their smiles transform. I also enjoy the relationships I have created with my amazing co-workers.

My husband Kyle and I are high school sweethearts and have been together for 16 years. We have the sweetest cat and she is our baby! We love watching sports, especially hockey and football- O-H! I also love reading and cooking delicious food.

 

Brittany

Treatment Coordinator

I love making new patients feel warm and welcome in our practice, and am happy when I’m able to ease their fears over the thought of braces. I want every person who walks through our door to feel loved and safe. I strive to make their time here the best part of their day and especially love that I get to help people on their journey to a confident smile they’re proud to share!

My husband Shaun and I spend all our free time with our 2 amazing sons, Lincoln and Dean. We love watching St. Louis sports and attending games. We also love the outdoors and finding new places to travel to and new places to hike as a family! We love movies too and can binge watch with the best of them.

Heather W

Observation Coordinator

I’m honored to be a part of the team here at BauerHite. My relationship with this office started several years ago with two of my children being treated here, then I followed suit and experienced first-hand the incredible care and amazing results they did. Dr. Beth and the staff made me feel so comfortable and at home during my treatment that I pursued an opportunity to join their team — and now here I am!

Outside of work, I’m happily married with 4 wonderful children, and the sweetest Aussie-doodle. When I’m not busy cheering on my kiddos with all their school and sporting activities, you can find me walking our dog or watching sports.

 

Ashton

Clinical Coordinator

I love being able to work with the public and educate them on dental health.

When I go home in the evening, it’s to spend time with my husband Michael and our two young children, daughter Alyana and son Emmett. We love going on adventures and exploring the outdoors.

Heather M

Orthodontic Assistant/Facilities Director

I’m passionate about helping others and ensuring everything runs smoothly for both our patients and team. I love being part of a practice that makes a difference in people’s lives.

At home, my husband Bryce and I stay busy supporting our two sons, Everett and Elliston, at their many sporting events. When I have some downtime, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending quality time with my family.

I love interacting with patients and getting to know them. My favorite part is seeing the end result with their beautiful smile.

I enjoy getting to know and form relationships with our patients and their families throughout their time in treatment. I love being a part of our patient’s journey to not only a beautiful smile, but a healthy and functional one as well. I’m thankful to be a part of the caring and knowledgeable BauerHite team!

My husband Ridgely and I live in Wood River with our 3 children, Kyndall, Kolbie and Knox. They keep us busy! We love spending time outdoors, traveling and family movie nights. Yoga, sunshine, good music and iced coffee are some of my favorite things!

I've been part of the dental field since 2005, and what I love most about working here is the opportunity to connect with patients while helping them achieve their best smiles. Whether I'm helping solve unique challenges or getting creative to make their experience smoother, it's always rewarding to watch their confidence grow as their smile transforms.

Outside of work, I've been married to my husband, Chris, since 2002, and we have two amazing kids, Brentleigh and Brody. We live in Alton with our dog, cat, and sugar glider, and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether it's playing disc golf or hiking.
