Nikki: New Patient Coordinator

I am brand new to the field of Orthodontics and I absolutely love working as a New Patient Coordinator. It is so great getting to know so many new people and knowing that we are making a difference in their lives. It is such a pleasure to help our patients throughout their treatment with us and see their amazing results after braces!

Dr. Henry Sr., Dr. Henry Jr., and Dr. Mary Paula, all have such passion for Orthodontics as well as their patients. Their vast knowledge and determination have each patient leaving with an absolutely beautiful smile. It is easy to see they truly care about each patient and are the best at what they do! It is a true joy to come to work each and every day to such a fabulous team who has such love for our patients and for Orthodontics. Of course our wonderful patients also make each day a joy. It is so great to hear about their lives and especially to see their transformations into their beautiful smiles!

I recently moved back to North Carolina after living in Washington, DC for 4 years. It was a wonderful experience however I missed all of the nice southern people! I am from Burlington, NC and all of my family is still there so I love being so close to home now that I am living in Raleigh. Since I went to ECU I also love being close to Greenville especially during football season since my fiance and I have season tickets. GO PIRATES! I also love traveling, shopping and spending time with my friends and family.

Haley: New Patient Coordinator

I have been working as a New Patient Coordinator in the orthodontics field since 2008, and every day I love knowing that I am making a difference in the lives of children and adults, because I truly believe that a beautiful smile is absolutely priceless. My favorite thing about working in orthodontics is getting to meet so many new people, and having the opportunity to help people throughout their orthodontic journey. I also really enjoy working with the doctors. Dr. Zaytoun Sr. has such a passion for orthodontics and helping his patients, Dr. Mary Paula is genuinely interested in her patients' lives, she always keeps up with what each of them is doing in work, school, and play, and Dr. Henry Jr. is so professional and has an incredible work ethic.

Our patients also play a big role in making my job so wonderful! Their energy and enthusiasm rub-off on all of us, and they are the number one reason that I look forward to being at the practice every day.

I am originally from Chapel Hill, NC, and have lived in Raleigh for a couple years. My family, my mother, father, older sister, her husband, and their three children all live in Chapel Hill. Outside of work, I love going on walks, spending time at the beach, and shopping! Singing is one of my favorite pastimes, and in high school, I played the role of Sandy in the play Grease!

Sierra: Patient Relations Coordinator

As a recent college graduate, I am new to the field of orthodontics. Helping our patients and being a part of this great Z-team is what I enjoy the most. The Zaytoun family, fellow Z-team members and our amazing patients are what bring a smile to my face every day. Being able to connect with our patients and help them achieve a confident smile is very rewarding. The doctors are so passionate about their work and I can see it through our patients smiles. Dr. Zaytoun Sr. is so delightful and caring; Dr. Henry Jr. is kind and extremely helpful when it comes to answering questions. Dr. Mary Paula loves to chat and keeps you on your toes.

Our patients are so inspiring and their beautiful smiles bring so much energy to our practice.

I am originally from Morganton, NC and I just graduated from Peace College. I adore living in Raleigh and seeing everything that the city has to offer. Outside of work I enjoy visiting my family and precious Yorkie puppy. I also would be lost without by Blackberry.

I have learned so much during the short time that I have been a part of the Z-team and I am excited to continue to learn and grow at this practice.

Bryna: Patient Relations Coordinator

I started working in the orthodontic field and for Zaytoun Orthodontics in 2000, and my favorite part of the job is helping patients and parents any way that I can. I love working with all of our friendly patients and making great smiles!

I love working with our doctors because of Dr. Henry Sr.'s dedication, Dr. Mary Paula's personality with patients, and Dr. Henry Jr.'s advice regarding my own children.

I am originally from Hazelton, Pennsylvania, and have lived in Raleigh for 23 years. I enjoy spending time with my family and running my children to all their activities. I'm enjoying this precious time, especially since I have a son going to college in 2010!

Melania: Treatment Assistant

I've been working in the field of orthodontics since 2001, and the best part of working in orthodontics is that we get to change people's lives, giving them hope and confidence to live their lives with a smile on their faces! I enjoy working with my hands and interacting with people - it gives me a great rewarding feeling at the end of every day.

Our doctors' passion for their work and for our patients is inspiring! I love Dr. Henry Sr.'s determination, and his kindness in his interactions with people. Dr. Mary Paula has a beautiful heart and shares that with her patients; she's strong and always has a smile on her face. Dr. Henry Jr. has a real dedication to the practice. Even with a big family, he manages to have enough room in his heart for the patients.

Patients are the ones who make my job so much enjoyable. Most of our patients are younger, so it's fun to know what goes on in school and to talk to them in a very comfortable environment. They trust us and that is the greatest feeling! Getting to know our adult patients and having a connection with them is priceless.

I'm originally from Mineola, New York, and have lived in Raleigh for almost 3 years now. My mom and brother in Delaware are two of the most important people in my life.

In my spare time, I love to just stay home and snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I'm very much into going to the gym .... at least for the moment! I started snowboarding this year and I love it!!!

I am a treatment assistant at Zaytoun Orthodontics, and I have been working here since 2003. I love what I do as a treatment assistant, and I truly enjoy being part of such a wonderful, dedicated, caring team of doctors and staff. There's always something new to learn, and our patients bring so much joy and excitement to each appointment. It is a pleasure to work with the doctors at Zaytoun Orthodontics.

I am originally from the Ukraine, and have lived in Raleigh for almost ten years. Outside of orthodontics, I enjoy travelling, reading, spending time with my family, and being involved in different community organizations and local activities. I absolutely love red roses, although I will always welcome roses of any color, no matter what the occasion!

Jennifer: Treatment Assistant

After I received my four year college degree, I decided to specialize in something I have always loved. I attended dental assisting school and became certified. Zaytoun Orthodontics is my first and only job in my career of dentistry, and I have found that I love being a part of this team and helping patients receive that ultimate gorgeous smile. It is so rewarding to see them smile when the braces come off.

There is so much to learn from all three of our doctors. Dr. Zaytoun Sr. still has that passion and drive for orthodontics, our patients and his staff. He is such a sweet and caring person! Dr. Mary Paula always has a story for something, no matter what! I am amazed of how connected she is to her patients and their families. Dr. Henry's laugh, is contagious. Just hearing him laugh makes my day that much better.

Orthodontics is such an art. Each mouth is a different canvas, and helping be a part of creating a masterpiece is priceless. Most people are not as lucky as I am to work with such an awesome group of people. Our patients are so personable and easy to relate to, it makes my job that much more fun, and sometimes it even allows me to be a kid again.

I am from Raleigh, NC and have lived here all my life. I am the only child, so it's just my mom and dad and little ole me. I love to go offshore fishing. I have been fishing with my dad ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy going to my beach house & out on the boat, concerts in the summertime, golfing, traveling, or anything outdoors! I like adventures and am willing to try anything at least once.

Bet you did not know that I am an ECU alumni Go pirates aaargh! And I'm an Ohio State fan!

Martha Lee: Treatment Assistant

My name is Martha Lee, I am a treatment assistant, and have been working in the field of orthodontics since 2003. I started my career in orthodontics working as a lab technician through high school and holiday breaks during college. I love working in orthodontics because I am able to witness the wonderful changes in our patients throughout their treatment. Everybody's teeth are different, and it is interesting and exciting to see how our doctors are able to give patients their own individual beautiful smiles. Dr. Henry Sr., Dr. Mary Paula, and Dr. Henry Jr. are such kind, generous, and patient people; they work hard, and have so much energy and enthusiasm that it's hard not to enjoy your time spent at our practice. I know them better than most because they are my grandfather, aunt and uncle.

I am originally from Miami, FL and have lived in Raleigh for over 12 years. I have one older brother, who is also going into the dental field. After work, I enjoy running and jumping on my trampoline (I was a gymnast for many years). I also love to paint and cook. I am a graduate from UNC Chapel Hill, and I am so happy to be working with such a great team of wonderful people!

Mary Lanier: Dental Assistant

I have worked in the orthodontic field for as long as I can remember. I started out doing small jobs around the practice, and now I am a treatment assistant for Dr. Henry Sr., Dr. Mary Paula, and Dr. Henry Jr.. My favorite thing about orthodontics is having the opportunity to meet so many different people and learning about all of the neat things that our patients are doing with their lives. Orthodontics is a life changing experience, and it's exciting for me to be such an important part of our patients' lifelong health. I enjoy working with my father, grandfather, and aunt; and, I truly believe that having a strong family presence about our practice will make all of our patients fell at-home, and comfortable.

I have lived in Raleigh all my life, with one older brother, one younger brother, and five younger sisters! My hobbies, outside of work, include swimming and running. I currently attend UNC Chapel Hill and I help with the UNC swim team. I'm in the Tri Delta Sorority, and I love all of the fun activities and great friendships that I've made while at school. I'm excited to welcome you to our practice, and all of the smiles we will share!

Chris - Finance Manager

I've been working in orthodontics and at Zaytoun Orthodontics since 1998, and it's a privilege to work with this fantastic team! It's so satisfying to see how orthodontics brings self-esteem to our patients. My favorite thing about Dr. Henry Sr. is that he makes me and all our patients feel like family. I love how Dr. Mary Paula is eager to explore the redneck side of her personality, and hearing Dr. Henry Jr.'s great cackling laugh when he's with his patients makes coming to work a lot of fun.

Kim - Lab. Tech.

I've been working in the dental field since 1976 and at Zaytoun Orthodontics since 1985. I love Dr. Henry Sr.'s stories and analogies, Dr. Mary Paula's funky shoes and glasses, and Dr. Henry Jr.'s laugh.

The best part of my job is working on the details and seeing the finished smiles.

I am originally from Florida but have lived in Raleigh for 29 years. I love spending time with my family, including my 2 beautiful grandchildren, and my dog. In my spare time, I enjoy painting and any "artsy" endeavors. One thing you probably don't know about me is that I was an extra in the movie "Patch Adams."

Carol Lynn: Marketing

As a family member working for my dad, sister and brother, I sometimes ask myself which is more challenging? Working for family? Or thinking up new, fun, interesting ways to inform, entertain and educate our patients and potential patients.

My education background is accounting but working at Zaytoun Orthodontics has allowed me to use the creative side of my brain in which I'll admit is a lot more fun! Designing T-shirts, screen savers, and patient games keeps me in the "know" of what's hot and what's not!

Zaytoun Orthodontics has the greatest patients in the world! They are enthusiastic and happy to come to our office, which makes it all worth while to me. I try hard to make sure we pay attention to every tiny detail from when a patient comes to us for the first appointment to the end of treatment and beyond! And when I say beyond ... I mean it. We have patients who are now bringing their kids to us, and grandkids to us! It is one big happy family here in more ways than one.

As I love and support my dad, sister and brother and all of our family, I have also instilled some great work ethic and dental enthusiasm to my immediate family as well. In fact, I have a son in dental school at UNC and a daughter who just graduated from UNC now working as a treatment assistant for us. Yes ... we're one big happy family ... patients, staff and relatives! I am truly blessed.
