Heather
Treatment Coordinator/Assistant
I have been with Varble Orthodontics since 2014 and in the orthodontic field since 1994. I enjoy meeting all the new patients as a treatment coordinator for the office and helping them understand their orthodontic journey. I also enjoy seeing patients in the clinic during their adjustment visits. There’s nothing better than seeing a patient gain confidence because of their beautiful smile.
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Tony, our boys, Zach and Chase, and my wiener dogs, Oscar and Opie. I enjoy camping, shopping, and cheering on the St. Louis Blues with my family and friends.
Jamie B.
Receptionist
I joined Varble Orthodontics in May of 2022, bringing with me 15 years of medical office experience. I enjoy the interaction with each person as they come in and out of the office. It’s great to build relationships with them. I also look forward to seeing the orthodontic process from start to finish, and the beautiful smiles that we were able to give.
My husband Jordan and I have three children, one dog, and two cats. We enjoy spending time together as a family, whether we’re going out to eat, trying new places, or just being outdoors – especially out at my parents’ house where the kids can run and play and enjoy the fresh air. Family time is the best!

I have been with Varble Orthodontics as an orthodontic assistant for over 40 years! I basically grew up here! I have worked with generations of families. Meeting these wonderful people and watching them develop beautiful smiles is amazing.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, Chuck, and we have a son and daughter. I also have a grandson who I love spoiling! Nothing is better than when our whole family is together.

I joined Varble Orthodontics in 2019, but have been in the dental field for 12 years. We have a friendly atmosphere here at Varble Orthodontics and I’m happy to be part of a team that works so well together and has a lot of fun! Most of all, I enjoy interacting with all the kids and watching how their smile changes through their treatment.
I live in Jerseyville with my husband, Brad, and my two kids, Avery and Owen. We also have a dog named Tilly. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, shopping, and being by the pool in the summer.
Melinda
Team Leader
I joined Varble Orthodontics in 2014 and it’s been the best decision ever! I have been in the dental field for 30 years and love every second of it! I work hard to keep the office running smoothly so Dr. Varble and the rest of the team can concentrate on our awesome patients.
I am a mom to my daughter, Kennedy, who is a student at SIUE, and am recently engaged to the best guy ever, Jim! Along with Jim, I gained three bonus kids, Katie, Kyle, and Emma, and a son-in-law, George.
Rebecca
Office Manager
I joined Varble Orthodontics in July 2019 after previously working in the oral surgery field for 16 years. In addition to managing our employees, I also handle all patient insurance claims and accounts, and oversee the daily tasks of running the office to ensure we have a smooth and problem-free day! The best part of my job is working with patients and seeing the smile on their face after treatment is complete!
I have been married to Brian for over 30 years and we have four amazing children and one sweet dog. After work, I love hanging out with my family, either being outside, taking a side-by-side ride through the woods, or watching a good movie. I also love to read!
Terri
Orthodontic Assistant
I recently re-joined Varble Orthodontics. I have more than 22 years of orthodontic experience. As an assistant, I have the pleasure of working directly with patients, which allows me to see their orthodontic journey from start to finish. It’s my favorite part of my job!
I am a lifetime resident of Kane and have been blessed with 27 years with my husband, Danny. We have two adult children, Levi and Michaela. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and cheering on the Carrollton Hawks!
Jamie S.
Orthodontic Assistant
Being an orthodontic assistant is not just a job, it is a rewarding career with a purpose. As an assistant, I get to help people gain or regain confidence by providing them with a beautiful smile. Nothing beats that!
I have a wonderful husband, Justin, and we have two amazing boys, Ben and Logan, and a daughter-in-law, Alyssa. We love traveling, boating, camping, and hiking. Our goal is to hike as many state and national parks as we can!
