Meet the Team
Rachel
Rachel is the patient coordinator at Baybird Orthodontics. She loves having the opportunity to work directly with the patients and getting to know you and your family better. Her goal is to make sure everyone feels informed and ready to accomplish their smile goals together! One of the best parts of her job is continuously meeting new people and building relationships within the community. When she's not working, she loves spending time with family, and she soaks up the sun every chance she gets whether it's a trip to the beach or hitting local hiking trails with her pup Jax.
“I have always been told “find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life” and that is what I can honestly say about what we’re creating here at Baybird Orthodontics, alongside Dr. Patel.”

Candice
Candice is an enthusiastic lifetime learner! She enjoys new experiences and welcomes the challenges they present along the way. Candice and her husband, Jamie, embrace living minimally and spend most of their time outside. Whether out tending to the garden, discovering a new trail, kayaking or even riding bikes, their two (small) dogs are alongside as much as possible. Together they passively own and operate a small family built business which they're passionate about. Candice's spirits expand locally in supporting other surrounding small businesses.
