Dr. Redmond's Team
Lindsay
Treatment Coordinator
I joined the Redmond Orthodontics team in 1998 and I am the Treatment Coordinator. I truly love all aspects of my job- meeting and getting to know all our new patients, helping them on their way to a smile that they have always wanted and deserve, and seeing them smile for the first time after they get their braces off! Every day is incredibly fun and rewarding here at John Redmond Orthodontics. In my free time I enjoy camping, hiking and if I am not at work, I am at Lasuen playing beach volleyball! I look forward to meeting you and helping you with all your orthodontic needs!

Marketing/Scheduling Coordinator
Desiree
Financial Coordinator, RDA
I have worked for the Redmond organization since 1999. Starting as a chairside RDA I was able to learn the function of orthodontics from the leaders in the industry. Even though I may be behind the scenes now as the Financial and Insurance Coordinator at John Redmond Orthodontics, my goal is to facilitate the financial and possible insurance aspect of our patient’s orthodontic care. I work with insurance companies to make sure our patients are getting the most out of their benefits, answer insurance questions, and assist patients and their families with financial arrangements. I strive to help patients learn about our affordable options that allow a lifetime of confidence to our patients by improving their smile.
My favorite pastime is surfing with my husband and two daughters, as well as walking the beach trail and sea glassing.

Krista
RDA, COA
I have been working for Dr. John since 2018 as an RDA and Certified Orthodontic Assistant. I was a dental assistant for many years in a general dentistry office but was led to move to Orthodontics after I fell in love with the office and his team. My three daughters were Dr. John’s patients and during the visits to the office I quickly realized that Orthodontics was my calling. I love my job and could not ask for a better work family. My goal is to make every patient that comes into our office young or old, feel like family and to comfort them through their treatment. In my free time I enjoy baking, walking the beach trail and doing CrossFit. I look forward to many years of helping patients to health and happiness through Orthodontics.
Lily
I grew up in San Clemente and got my treatment here with Dr. John. I remember being a patient and admiring the team’s energy and positive workspace. It is so fun to see this firsthand and work with all these amazing people! It’s so cool to be on the flip side and learn more about the operations that go into giving people their dream smile. I love seeing patients be confident in their smile the same way I was!
