Taren

Certified Orthodontic Assistant

In June of 2005, I started working for Fehr Orthodontics. I graduated from Scott Community College with highest honors in dental assisting, then became a national certified orthodontic assistant. It is incredible to see patients’ end result after completing their treatment, and seeing their self-confidence increase. I feel very fortunate that I took part in creating that perfect smile.

Outside the office, I am a mother of four wonderful boys. My family and I enjoy spending time with our kids, traveling, attending concerts, hunting, and sports.

Renee

Certified Orthodontic Assistant / Lab Tech

In 2007, I graduated from the SCC certified dental assisting program, after which I started working at Fehr Orthodontics! I have continued to learn and grow daily with all the continuing education classes that Dr. Fehr provides us and earned my national orthodontic assistant certificate. I love connecting on a personal level with each of our patients, whether it is about sports, school, or family, and enjoy watching shy patients come out of their shell as their new smile gives them more confidence. Every one of our patients is an interesting person, and learning about them makes each day different and exciting. I will never be too busy to stop and explain each procedure as treatment progresses so patients have a full understanding of their orthodontic care.

When I am not creating beautiful smiles, I am a busy wife and mother to our daughter Blair. She definitely keeps us on our toes! We love spending time with family and friends, and going to sporting events! GO CUBS!

Johanna

Office Coordinator

Hi, my name is Johnna; I am proof that finding that one dream job is possible. I never would have thought that one day I would be working for the orthodontist that made my smile perfect many years ago. In 2015, I became a member of the office that is like family to me. I am the first person that you will see when you walk into the office that we like to call our second home, and we hope anyone who enters will feel the same way. I enjoy getting to know all the patients and their families, and I am always ready to stop what I am doing to help you with anything I can. Your smile is my motivation!

I love getting to know everyone, so here is some fun info about me. I have been married for a dozen years, have two beautiful children, Gabriel and Fionna, and three hairless cats which I cannot get enough of: Curly Bear, Star Lorde, and Furiosa! From travel baseball to gymnastics we are always busy. I love spending time with my family and friends when we have time to relax. My hobbies include reading, fishing, traveling, and enjoying a good campfire with s’mores. But enough about me; I can’t wait to hear about you!
