Meet Austin TX Dentist Office Staff
Meet the friendly and professional staff at our Austin, TX dentist office. From our caring hygienists to our skilled dentists, every team member is dedicated to your comfort and healthy smile.
Kristie: Office Coordinator
Kristie has been a member of the Austin Dental Care team from Day 1 (and happily married to Dr. Wainwright for even longer!)
As the Office Coordinator (& resident mama bear), she loves taking care of our team and interacting with our patients on a daily basis. Although Kristie is a native Texan, she attended the University of Kansas and has been an avid Jayhawk fan ever since. However, with a daughter (& hopefully soon to be son) at the University of Oklahoma, the Sooners have become a new favorite, especially during football season! She and Dr. Wainwright have enjoyed all that Austin has to offer for over 25 years, including raising two awesome kids in the Eanes school district, and faithfully cheering for the Chaps on Friday nights!
Joan: Dental Assistant
Joan grew up in the small town of Yoakum, Texas and moved to Austin in 2001 to pursue her career in dentistry. She has been in dentistry over 23 years and has loved being able to help people over the years with all of their dental needs and achieve their goals of changing their smiles.
Nineteen years ago, she married her High School Sweetheart, Robert. They have three beautiful children: Katelyn, who is a sophomore at the University of Texas; Robert, who is a Senior in High School; and Jack, who is in second grade. They also love spending time with their golden retriever, Ben!
Joan and her family are always on the go with their children’s activities and in their free time you can find them on the baseball field!
