Angela is our office manager.  She is always ready to assist you with anything from setting up future appointments to answering questions about sport sponsorships and everything in-between.  Angela comes to us from the Austin area with several years of medical management experience.  She has been with us since we opened in the beginning of 2002 and is responsible for painting the lovely murals in our office.  In addition to painting, she enjoys golf, tennis, movies and spending time with her family and 4 miniature schnauzers.  She will be with us part-time from now on as she will be having their first child May 2008. 

Dori is in charge of our patient accounts. She has been with the office since we opened in 2002.  She handles any problems with insurance claims (so you know she is busy), discusses treatment plans with parents and schedules our IV sedations. So if you have a question about your account or insurance, give her a call.  Dori and her husband, Michael, live in Plano with their two teenagers: Ross, who enjoys playing soccer, and Kasey, who is very involved with theater and speech.  They also have two dogs, Angel (a terrier mix) and Bailey (a shih tsu).  Right out of college Dori worked six years as an adult probation officer, then “retired” to stay home with the kids.  When offered the opportunity to come work with Dr. Kelli she decided it was too good to pass up and came out of “retirement”.
