Christy
Office Manager / Treatment Coordinator
My career in orthodontics began in 1992. I was excited to join the Wood Orthodontics family in 2006. As half of one of the greatest front desk teams ever, I enjoy working closely with all our patients to help guide them through their orthodontic journey. You will most likely find Tracy and I giggling most days at the front desk. Dr. Wood makes our work life a lot of fun.
As an Arizona native, I absolutely love this area we live in. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband Adam, our boys, and our Springer Spaniel, Remi. Go Cardinals!
Jill
Clinical Assistant
Hi, I’m Jill. I was born and raised in Iowa. Go Hawkeyes! I married my high school sweetheart Rob of 35 years. We moved to Anthem in 2001, we have raised our 3 children who are now adults, married and starting families of their own. We currently have 2 granddaughters with 2 more babies due this spring.
I joined the Wood Orthodontic team November 2005. I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful “work” family to be around on a daily basis in the office or out. I am a clinical assistant and love creating smiles that will last a lifetime.
In my free time I enjoy shopping, cooking and hosting backyard bbq’s with family and friends.
Kathy
Hi, my name is Kathy. I was born and raised outside of a small town in Iowa. In 1980, I moved to Phoenix, so I am almost a native!! I have been married to my husband for 39 wonderful years and we have two grown, adult children and 7 grandchildren; 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. In March we will be blessed with another grandson!!
When I’m not at work, I enjoy going for walks, hiking, camping, baking goodies or just spending time with my family…..ALL of them!!
I have worked as an assistant in the orthodontic field for a very long time…which does not mean I’m old. It just means I’m EXPERIENCED!! I not only enjoy seeing the transformation of patients smiles, but the transformations of their personalities and self-confidence as they acquire the smile they have always dreamed of. Orthodontics is an awesome field, as I get the privilege of working with our patients for a couple of years, so I feel I really get to know them.
I have worked with Dr. Wyatt Wood and his AMAZING staff for about 5 ½ years! I look forward to building a relationship with each of you while helping you to achieve the smile they you have always wanted. Welcome to our practice!!

I have been working as an orthodontic assistant since 2010 and have had the pleasure of working for Dr.Wood since 2016. I didn’t expect to get into this career field when I was younger, but I absolutely love it! Working in the clinic, I assist Dr.Wood and build relationships with our patients while they are on their orthodontic journey. It is also my job to ensure that the clinic runs smoothly. It is truly a rewarding experience to be a part of creating a beautiful smile and seeing the confidence grow within each patient during their treatment. I love working for such an awesome doctor and alongside such an amazing team!

Sarah
I’ve been working as a treatment coordinator for 10 years. I’ve been with Wood Orthodontics since 2016. I love being the first person to meet all of our new patients and their families. From the start, Dr. Wood and I will meet with you and review an in depth treatment plan specific to your wants and needs. My job is to make sure the patient understands all the treatment being recommended. I will also make sure we can map out a good financial plan.
When I am not helping Dr. Wood create beautiful smiles, I enjoy my free time with my family. I have 3 kids…1 being my husband Micah, our tween Ashlyn and my vibrant youngest Arbor…oh and cannot forget our fur baby Porter. I also love being active outdoors and in our community. I can’t wait to meet you and help you with this new adventure of the smile of your dreams.

My name is Amanda and I live in Anthem with my husband and our four children. I have been a member of Dr Wood’s team since 2016. While I like working in many areas of the office, what I enjoy most is being a lab tech and making orthodontic appliances that are going to help our patients receive the most beautiful smiles. Dr. Wood and my coworkers are the best and I love being a part of the team.
