Natalie
Office Manager
I have had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Enriquez and his team for over six years. As the Office Manager for our three locations, I ensure the seamless operation of each office, from adopting cutting-edge technology to organizing staff functions that keep our team engaged. With nine years of experience in various dental specialties, including general dentistry, IV sedation, oral surgery, and orthodontics, I am committed to providing the highest quality care for both our patients and staff. In addition to my role at the office, I am passionate about education. Every year, I visit our local Dental Assisting School to share my knowledge and experience in Orthodontics, helping to inspire and mentor the next generation of dental professionals.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my family, spending time on the lake, and gardening.
Heather
Records & Marketing Specialist
This is my eighth year working as the Records / Marketing Coordinator. This position has given me the opportunity to be the initial contact in the patient's smile journey. My favorite part of what I do is watching the smile transformations. I enjoy interacting and making connections with the patients and their families so they can have the best overall experience through their braces or Invisalign treatment. I take pride in growing the practice through social media, where I have the opportunity to reach out to the community.
Born and raised in Eureka, I enjoy most outdoor activities like fishing, lake trips, and traveling to concerts. I value spending my free time with my husband, two beautiful daughters, my fur child and of course, my family and friends.

Treatment Coordinator
After graduating from Sonoma State University with my Bachelor's degree, I decided to take on a new adventure and move back to Humboldt County where I was born and raised. It was there that I was given the opportunity to start my career in the dental field. I have been working as the Treatment Coordinator for Dr. Enriquez for three years. As Treatment Coordinator, I have the honor of being a part of every single patient's orthodontic journey. I feel so lucky that I get to work in such a supportive, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. I love working with a team that has so much dedication to each patient and ensures that every patient has an amazing experience.

Dental Assistant
I started my dental career by interning and shadowing a local dentist back in 2018. Through that experience, I gained a love and passion for the dental field. After graduating with my B.S. from Sonoma State University, I started working as a dental assistant. When I started working for Dr. Enriquez, I fell in love with dentistry even more, and knew this was the right field for me. Seeing how excited patients are to transform their smiles is incredibly rewarding. My favorite part about my work here is when patients see their new smile for the first time and being with them throughout their journey. I have worked with Dr. Enriquez for three years and I’m constantly proud to be a part of his team. His ability to put patients' concerns at ease and go above and beyond for them is inspiring. I am truly so fortunate to work with such amazing people.
When I’m not at work, I spend time with my niece and nephew or go on hikes with my puppy, Oliver. I have a strong love for Michael Jackson and dinosaurs—my favorite is the Brachiosaurus.

Registered Dental Assistant
I began my dental career in 2020, shortly after graduating from the CR dental assisting program. I moved to Medford, Oregon, where I worked in general dentistry and had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a wide variety of procedures. I was fortunate to work with an amazing dentist who truly inspired me and deepened my love for the dental field.
Today, I’m proud to work as a Registered Orthodontic Assistant, where I assist with taking scans and adjusting braces, preparing patients for treatment, and helping ensure every visit runs smoothly. I enjoy creating a welcoming, comfortable environment for our patients and supporting them throughout their smile journey.
One of my favorite parts of this job is seeing the transformation in our patients—not just in their teeth, but in their confidence. It’s so rewarding to be part of a team that helps people feel good about their smiles.
I also truly enjoy working with our doctor. He's incredibly professional, kind, and always takes the time to explain treatments in a way that makes patients feel confident and at ease. His calm and caring approach makes every day at work a positive experience, and it inspires me to give my best to each patient.
Outside of the office, I love going on walks, traveling, trying out new restaurants, and spending time with all my nieces and nephews—especially taking them out for fun ice cream dates! And when the sun’s out, you’ll probably hear me say my favorite line: “What a beautiful day for a cider!”
