Tathia Mattila, Treatment/Office Coordinator
Hello, my name is Tathia (pronounced like “Tasha”) and I am responsible for caring for our wonderful new patients joining our practice as well as day-to-day office management.
Learning new skills, interacting with the patients and seeing the final results and happiness when treatment is complete, are what I really enjoy about my work. That, and the friendly and fun atmosphere that my coworkers bring to the office!
I have been married to my best friend since 1996 and we have three wonderful sons. My favorite things to do in Chattanooga are going to Coolidge Park and the walking bridge and taking the family to Playworld Down Under.
Rhona Moore, Scheduling Coordinator
Hi, I’m Rhona, and as the scheduling coordinator, I am the first person you meet when you walk in and the last person you wave to on your way out. I’m also the person you're most likely to talk to when you call and the one to blame if the coffee is cold or the TV is off!
I was drawn to the orthodontic field because I get to celebrate every milestone along the patient’s way to perfect teeth…and I love celebrating! I also love this office because everyone is a team player and having fun is a job requirement!
I have a beautiful eight-year old daughter and a spoiled rotten Sheltie named Strawberry. Some of my favorite things to do in Chattanooga are sliding down the grass hill by Coolidge Park on cardboard, hiking, and playing my guitar for open mic nights.
Darlene Hubbartt, Financial/Insurance Coordinator
Hello, my name is Darlene, and I support patient scheduling and insurance needs.
Orthodontics seemed like a great career for me because I really appreciate a beautiful smile! Our office has a professional, yet fun atmosphere to work in and everyone helps each other out to make the day run smoothly.
I’ve been married for almost six years and have a three-year old daughter. My favorite things to do in Chattanooga are spend time with my family and friends, go to the movies or downtown for coffee at Rembrandt’s.
Chelsae Hames, Clinical Assistant
Hi, I’m Chelsae, and as a Clinical Assistant I support Dr. Prentice in all phases of patient care.
I enjoy working in orthodontics because of the confidence we can help build in our patients by creating a beautiful smile. Everyone in our office works well together in providing the best care for our patients which makes me love my job!
I am the youngest of five children, and my favorite things to do in Chattanooga are to hang out with my family and friends, shop, watch movies, and go to Lookouts games!
