Ellen Cook

Office Manager

Hi, I'm Ellen. I've been a staff member at Dr. DeGuzman's practice since 1996. I manage all aspects of the office except for clinical. I'm also responsible for all financial accounts.

My favorite part of the job is the pleasure of watching kids and adults receiving beautiful smiles. I'm proud to work for Dr. DeGuzman because she cares about her patients and is very skilled at her profession.

I've been married for over 35 years, and have 2 children and 4 grandkids. I also enjoy gardening, reading, watching old classic movies and being with my family.

Welcome to our practice, my name is Erika. I've worked at the orthodontic practice of Dr. DeGuzman since 2012 and I love getting to see our patients' brand new smiles once their braces come off. Their joy always lights up the office. Dr. DeGuzman is great with all of her patients, very kind and caring with each individual. I'm responsible for marketing, answering phones and greeting our wonderful patients.

When I'm not at the practice helping patients, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and taking my daughter to the park.
