Meet Dr. Rad.

Jaimi has spent 14 years in orthodontics, seven of them at ION, and got her start when her mom walked into an ortho office for her own interview and walked out having recruited her daughter instead. Around here she's the Chaos Coordinator: if something needs solving anywhere in the office, she's already on it. Bronx born and a Floridian for 23 years, she spends her off hours hiking, reading, dancing, and living the athlete-mom life.

Jannira's ION story started in the chair: she came in as a patient and never really left, joining the team in 2021. That means she knows exactly how treatment feels from your side, and it shows in how she makes every patient feel comfortable and cared for. She's also the office photographer and videographer, always showing up, and happy to help in English or Spanish. Outside work she's a baseball mom chasing new adventures with her baby girl, and, fun fact, a licensed cosmetologist.

Known around the office as the Orthodiva, Jeffri brings 26 years of orthodontic experience and was practically here from the start: she joined when ION was five months old and Dr. Rad was still running the clinic solo, growing from lead assistant into Treatment Coordinator. What keeps her here is watching confidence grow right alongside every smile. Born in Weeki Wachee and a Treasure Coast local for seven years, she gardens, fishes, and hosts a house-divided football Sunday: her Bucs versus her husband's Dolphins.

Born and raised in Port St. Lucie, Tori followed her mom, a lead dental assistant, into healthcare and has spent nine years in orthodontics. Her favorite part is the long game: meeting kids in Phase 1 and celebrating with them years later when Phase 2 wraps. Around the office she's the one constantly organizing everything in sight, which tracks, since at home she aquascapes planted aquariums from six gallons up to 125. She was a nervous patient once too, so expect her to walk you through every step, no surprises.

A mid-life career change brought DJ into orthodontics five years ago, and patients are glad it did. DJ's specialty is turning appointments into conversations and nerves into laughter, and the office knows to expect two constants: good jokes and good food talk. Minnesota born and fully converted to Florida life, DJ spends free time at the beach or driving to sports and activities. Iced lattes, forever and always.

Ingrid started in general dentistry before finding her way to orthodontics three years ago, and her favorite ritual is pulling up a patient's before-and-after photos mid-treatment to show how far they've come. Born and raised in Puerto Rico and a Port St. Lucie local since 2019, she cares for patients in both English and Spanish. She's the calm, steady presence on the team, and off the clock you'll find her on long beach walks with her family, especially her daughter.

Addy brings ten years of experience and DANB certification to the chair, the last five of them at ION. Originally from Haiti, she moved to the US at seven, and her son is the reason behind everything she does. Patients know her for making them feel welcome and valued from the very first visit. Outside the office she's the handy one: gardening, DIY projects, you name it. Her favorite reminder for nervous patients: this is the gentle side of dentistry.

Port St. Lucie born with family roots in El Salvador, Vanessa came to ION looking for a friendly workplace and found a family instead, proudly working alongside what she calls a team of total boss ladies. Nothing beats a braces-off reveal for her; she lives for that first look in the mirror. She assists patients in English and Spanish, and outside work she's usually behind a camera, watching movies with her husband, or making friends with every dog she meets.
