Kozlowski Orthodontics is made up of a tight-knit team that is committed to providing you with excellent care.
We love coming to work each and every day and we love working with each other. The joy we have for working with each other is something our patients can visibly see.
Our goal is to be the best part of our patient’s day while providing a customer experience, unlike anything they’ve ever had. That’s a commitment we take seriously. We know that treatment is more than just braces, so our team is out to prove how much we really care about our patients. We can’t wait to meet you.
She used to watch Dr. Jeff's kids and he recruited her to join his team! She's been here since day 1 and is beloved by her patients for her friendliness, compassion and ability to make them feel at ease. She's a native of Waterford and lives there still with her husband, four kids, and two Chinese Water Dragons! She has a fierce determination for all things in life but especially learning and conquering obstacles. She once shattered her radial bone in a bike mishap and the following year, she got back on that bike and biked 180 miles across the state of Maine! She loves road cycling and mountain biking at local parks. She's bound to make you smile if you spend any time with her at all!
NOT AT ALL!! I hit snooze 10 times before waking up! It drives my husband nuts!
Ireland because I'm mostly Irish and would love to see where my ancestors came from.
SUPERMAN!
She's the boss in charge and a master at planning. She has an eye for detail and efficiency and is great at teaching others. Chrissy grew up in Waterford and married her high school sweetheart! They have two boys and a spunky, lovey dog, Bella. She has a secret addiction to Skinny Vanilla Latte's and a fun-loving, youthful personality and soul. She's always up for adventure and trying new things!
Literally everything! Everyday is totally different. I learn something new daily and get to help people achieve the smiles they deserve and best part is I get paid to do it all!
To freeze time! My kids are growing up way too fast and it's awful!
Loud chewers! The sound drives me crazy!
She is most loved for her happy personality and calm demeanor! She's known for being able to make even the most nervous patients feel calm, comfortable and confident! She is our go-to seamstress, free-range egg provider, and a massive Disnerd (if you don't know this is what someone obsessed with Disney is called!) Nicole is the proud mom of two of the most beautiful little boys, three cats and three chickens (more to come in the spring!)
My mother is a huge inspiration to me. She's insanely patient and strong.
Cole, Coles, Coley and Nick (thank's to Krista!)
Technology! I'm awful with it!
She spent 6 years as the New Patient Coordinator and handled marketing on the side. She is now our Brand Ambassador. Self-proclaimed expert of nothing, Mary has immense knowledge on a wide range of random things. She's the go-to for solving our random problems. Mary likes to be outside, hiking, swimming, cycling and kayaking. She's a lover of laughing and good food! She's a mom to one beautiful baby, a cat and a dog!
I would go back to Kauai, HI over and over again. It is incredibly peaceful and beautiful there. I love the local culture and the endless opportunities for outdoor activities. The hiking and views are out of this world!
I used to be really afraid of drowning so I joined the swim team when I was 11. I still get a little anxious jumping into deep water where I can't see the bottom but I'm a champion swimmer!
I love my team and the patients I get to meet every day. I have seen orthodontics change so many lives over the years and I get SO excited seeing people walk out of here with the confidence they deserve to have. I've never worked in an environment before where everyone truly loves what we do and genuinely cares about the people we serve. It's a delight to come into work every day and I feel blessed by that.
Caitlin originally applied to be a scheduling coordinator but our hiring team thought she'd be an amazing fit for our clinical team! She has proved us right! She's now our clinical coordinator - in charge of making sure everything operates smoothly for your every visit! She's got the memory of a tape recorder and can literally hear something once and know it by heart, especially songs, and she'll sing it back to you perfectly. She can also rap as well as Nicki Minaj and isn't afraid to rock karaoke on the grand stage. She's a proud mom of her very on mini-me and a new found lover of cycling and CrossFit.
I had a turtle that ran way. And by ran away I mean I forgot I put him in the sandbox and he climbed out real slow while I was playing in the pool. Miss ya, TipTup!
I am never bored and every day is different. I bounced around between jobs for 6 months a time before working at Kozlowski Orthodontics and I can honestly say in the almost 5 years I have been here, I have not woken up once and not wanted to go to work. I am beyond lucky.
My daughter! I want her to see how hard work pays off and you should never stop learning and challenging yourself.
She is affectionately known around the office as ``squirrel`` and ``cadi``. She is also the founder of the ``snaccident`` and is famous for snacking. Shes likely the biggest animal fan on the team with a current total of 2 dogs and 2 cats although, she'd probably have more if it was her choice! She's also the proud mom to a cutie patutie 2 year old daughter!
Once Upon a Time because I like magic and fairy tales!
I can snap my fingers really, really loud!
I would love to be able to move things with my mind!
She originally started at our front desk but became a patient coordinator a few months later. She's amazing with her patients and very passionate about helping them find the right treatment! Bree has had orthodontics twice and is full of knowledge about what to expect with treatment. She also blesses our team with her spunky, energetic personality, always making us laugh. She is what we'd call a ``foodie`` and has introduced us to some really amazing creations like microwaved crispy cheese! Bree loves to spend her time adventuring with her friends and family and lives in Waterford with her son and fiancé.
THE GOONIES! I LOVE adventure!
My father. He can literally do anything that he puts his mind to. I am so happy to have him in my life because he's taught me to figure things out on my own.
I would want to go to Germany. According to my dad, my great great great great grandparents owned a bakery somewhere in Germany and I've always wanted to explore and learn about that part of my life!
Sandy came to us with extensive experience as a waitress and it's made her an amazing clinical assistant because she knows how to work hard, multitask and help others! She's got an eye for efficiency and attention to detail. Sandy is actually a mermaid who was bless with the ability to walk on land. In her free time you can find her down on the beach, trying new restaurants, and experiencing new things. She knows how to live each day to the fullest and enjoy life through experience.
Selena Gomez! I've been told she's my doppelgänger.
I'm an ALL DAY person. If I didn't need sleep, I wouldn't sleep. I'd rather do something else with my time.
To write a book, I loved reading when I was younger and I was such a daydream I would create my own stories in my head and I was determined to get down on pen and paper in the form of my own written book.
Kelly has been master of organization at Koz since the day she started. She is queen of clean and has rightfully earned the nickname Cinderkelly! She has a young soul and enjoys new challenges. She likes to spend her free time kayaking, relaxing, hanging with her daughters or sitting around cozy in her slippers!
Birds....I don't do birds.
I love that I get to come to work and spend the day with a team that feels more like family!
I would have x-ray vision! That way I wouldn't need to wear glasses!
She grew up in Niantic and loves the shoreline area. She's a cat lover since way before she ever had her first cat (just a couple years ago!) She now has Guss Guss and Ellie and they are her everything! Hillary is currently attending school to become an ultrasound technician!
At work I go by Cat Lady, Hill, or Hill Billy. My nickname in high school was Hank, and some of my close friends call me Ann (my middle name)
I'm afraid of spiders. I'm also afraid of things that have a lot of holes in them...it's a real thing, Trypophobia.
Absolutely not! I have learned to adapt though. On weekends however, I definitely like to sleep in and start my day a little later.
Kaylyn started out as a scheduling coordinator and has since taken on the roles of our administrative lead and brand ambassador! She's got an eye for attention to detail and can remember every single patient by name! She's one of the kind, welcoming and helpful voices you will hear on the other end of the line when you call our office. Kaylyn comes from a vary large family-she has 6 sisters-and lives with her husband and their three dogs in Preston. She's always up for trying new things and has a healthy love for delicious food.
I had a hedgehog named Lucy but I renamed it Lucifer because it would hiss at me if I walked into the room.
I'm very afraid of the dark, and deep water.
I love that we get to see transformations every day, not just from an orthodontic perspective but also transformations in confidence. I also love that I work on a team of people who are motivated, enthusiastic and hard-working every single day.
Alexis came to us from the dental field but she had no prior experience in orthodontics. She's got a laid-back fun personality that helps inspire us all to have fun every day. Lex is a favorite on the team because she can reach things that the rest of us can't! She's the proud momma of Stoli, a beautiful white & copper, purebred Siberian Husky. In her free time Lex likes to be relaxing on the beach or hitting the slopes on her board.
I would be a blender because I like to mix things up and try new things!
I love Thanksgiving because of ALL THE FOOD!
Loud chewing drives me crazy!
Sam is one of our patient coordinators who you will meet at your first visit to the office! She's amazing at making patients feel comfortable and helping them to understand their treatment options. Sam is a huge fan of pulled pork sandwiches, burgers & ribs so if you're looking for a way to her heart it's through barbecue! These foods make her ``happier than a 7 year old on Christmas Day!`` She's a huge fan of hockey and football but absolutely loves the Patriots and never misses a game - even when they're having a bad year! Sam loves to spend time outside and likes to go hiking and snowboarding whenever she can! She's our go-to whenever we need a project taken care of right away because she's detail oriented and an incredibly hard worker!
I love everything by Zac Brown Band!
NOPE, I frequently sleep through all SEVEN of my alarms - this happens at least twice a week. I'm definitely one who has more energy at night.
Everything, there's nothing not to love. I love my team, my job itself and especially how rewarding it is to work with my patients. I have fun every single day when I come to work - basically it doesn't feel like work because I love it so much!
She is an asset to our administrative team as one of our friendly scheduling coordinators. She is one of the smiling faces you see when you check in, or one of the helpful voices you hear on the other end of the phone. Lauren brings a fun energy to our team and we can always count on her to make us laugh. In fact, HER laugh is unforgettable and can be heard from miles away! She's got an obsession with staying on top of all current pop culture news and fills the rest of the team in on all the buzz. Lauren's also a huge fan of R&B and rap music and pays her respects to Tupac and Biggie Smalls any chance she gets. She lives in Groton with her boyfriend Ryan and their beloved Shih-Tzu, Cisco!
This is really hard because there's too many. I'll have to go with The Sandlot, cause heroes get remembered, but legends never die- and I'm basically a living legend.
A washing machine because ya'll know I can do the twist! Haha no maybe a fridge because that's where the snacks are at.
She's engaged to Tyler Perry (not the actor, wink wink) and her world is centered around her super amazingly fun husky pup named Turbo. The three of them LOVE to go on outdoor adventures together and one of their favorite things is to tackle new, challenging, mountain hikes! Emily is always up for adventure and tries to live her life every day to her highest potential.
My all time Favorite movie is 50 First Dates. No matter how many times I've watched it, I laugh like there's no tomorrow! A must see!
When I was little, my family used to call me Turtle Girl because of how I used to crawl around making a silly face with no teeth. Long story short, I looked like a turtle.
This is a tough one. I would have to side with Batman because he has a pretty sweet cape. Also, a person who can invent ways to be a superhero rather than having powers is pretty amazing.
She came to us first, as a transfer patient from Puerto Rico! We were so impressed by her maturity, hardworking attitude, her strength and her personality that we decided to offer her an after school job! She attributes this strength and hardworking personality to her parents and all the work and sacrifices they have made to provide for her and her sister. She is an unfailing source of energy in the office. You'll likely find her singing or laughing as she is working around the office and you will most definitely have your day brightened if you get to work with her! Ariana has since graduated from High School and now works with us part-time as she continues her education!
I love to watch the Real Housewives or the Kardashians, because in every episode there’s more drama.
All my pets were fishes 😂 but I had one fish that was black and big and ate all the other fishes. He was mean.
My family calls me Lalo = La loca because I'm the funny one in the family and my grandma calls me Nana!
She's an inspiration to the entire team and was the catalyst in making a large portion of the team refocus on health and wellness! Astrid is a fast learner and incredibly hardworking. She herself enjoys a good workout and she has a beautiful baby named Kamila who is her everything!
I get to interact with many different people and make them laugh along the way to a great smile.
Angelina Jolie because she is strong, beautiful and very independent.
My Dad because he came to the U.S. so our family could have a better life.
She is a huge family person and is blessed with a dream family with the greatest and most supportive father and mother, an inspiring, loyal little sister, and sarcastic and funny little brother. She has a 4-year old rescue, Boomer, and Mario is her 12-year-old yellow lab who is the most important being in her world!
The better question is... what DOESN'T inspire? I am inspired by all things! My team often laughs about my ``bursts of inspiration,`` but I am 100% serious. I am inspired by hard work, good communication, positivity, and acts of kindness. It is so inspiring... I'm inspired.
I have never had such a pet... however, I have had the BEST pet. My 12-year-old yellow lab, Mario, has been the best thing to ever happen to me. I have probably 10,000 pictures of just him. Our souls are forever connected. I love him and wish he could be with me forever.
My favorite holiday has to be Thanksgiving. I mean, who doesn't love dressing up just to eat in the dining room? I take eating food very seriously and this is the holiday to do it! Also, Black Friday shopping post-meal, of course - you have to digest the food somehow.
While she's one of the newest Koz family members, you'd never know it! She's a fast learner and has gained the skill and knowledge level equivalent to our most tenured team. Sara is full of energy and brings the FUN to every day here at the office. She is also compassionate and loves to help people get started with their orthodontic journeys. She herself just got braces on! Sara is the proud mom of two beautiful boys and a pup who could win the title of ``most aggressive snuggler.`` She and her husband live in Ledyard. She's a master of rewording songs, on-beat, and loves to sing and be silly.
My maiden name is Brother so I grew up with the nickname Brosky or Broseph!
DISNEY! I've never been and it's my DREAM to go. We are going next year and I can't wait to go! The trip is for my son's birthday but really, it's more for me than anyone else!
I had a turtle once, and its tank would get dirty so quickly. I was 16 so I had no idea how to clean the tank efficiently. I would literally carry this giant aquarium tank to my bathroom and put the turtle in the bathtub and then dump the water out into my standup shower. One time, I dropped the tank full of water and it shattered and flooded my bathroom and into the ceiling downstairs. After that, I gave him to my friend.
Madison is one of the helpful, kinda voices that you will have greeting you when you call and also when you walk into our offices! We got so lucky when she joined our team! She's an incredibly hard worker and a perfect fit! She is a self-proclaimed Star Wars NERD! She also loves and collects comic books. She's the proud mamma of a beautiful, spunky 15 month old daughter who is her whole world!
BATMAN! Honestly, I could write a novel on the topic but I'll just say ``kryptonite`` and leave it at that.
Someone really awkward.....
To be able to put my baby to sleep for 12 hours straight!
Admit it. You think all orthodontic offices are the same. Most are. We aren’t. We believe your experience should be something special.
