I am proud to work with an exceptionally talented, giving team that shares my dedication to our patients. They are good-hearted, friendly, and kind people who genuinely love our patients and patient families and go out of their way to ensure everyone enjoys their orthodontic experience.
Samantha, our treatment coordinator, does an amazing job of making families feel comfortable at their first appointment. Lisa handles a wide variety of tasks, from scheduling and insurance to social media and marketing. She works extremely hard and brings a fun, loving attitude to the office every day. Tierra, our clinical director, has an amazing ability to handle every single clinical situation with precision and expertise. She is supported by our two other clinical assistants, Mackenzie and Ali. They both bring a fun, youthful energy to the clinic and are eager to learn. And Sheri does just about everything in our office, from front desk duties to lab and everything in between. She has been in the dental field almost her entire life and brings a wealth of knowledge to the office.
Together, this team provides the high-quality, personalized orthodontic experience our patients deserve — and they do so with smiles!

Lisa
Scheduling and Insurance Coordinator
I have the pleasure of welcoming patients to the office and scheduling appointments to best fit their busy lives. I also make sure all insurance is properly taken care of and am here to help patients and parents throughout their visits to our office. I am a people person and appreciate the opportunity to meet and get to know each patient. I like helping them feel comfortable and relaxed, and love seeing them become more and more confident as their new smile takes shape!
Family is my priority when I’m away from the office. My husband Travis and I have four kids who keep us very busy! We love to golf, spend time at the lake, and travel.
Samantha
Treatment Coordinator
As a treatment coordinator, I meet all of our new patients and families and introduce them to our practice. My job is to help people feel comfortable and excited about treatment and getting a new smile. I explain treatment plans, financial options, what to expect, and answer each and every question. I love creating relationships with our patients, getting to know their personalities and learning what makes them smile!
I am a former Walt Disney World cast member and it definitely shows! Now that my son is grown and out of the house, my husband Matt and I love hosting game nights and hanging out with our dog, Jeffrey. In the fall, The Ohio State football games are on every Saturday in my home and you will most definitely find me decked out in OSU gear from head to toe! Matt and I are very involved with our church youth and spend a lot of time hanging out with junior high and high school kids, too.
Tierra
Lead Clinical Assistant
As the office’s lead clinical assistant, I spend my days in our clinic. Working chairside, I assist Dr. Schumacher with putting on braces, taking them off, and everything in between. I enjoy getting to know each patient as an individual and providing the education and encouragement that helps make treatment easy. And I love watching people’s confidence and smiles transform throughout the course of treatment!
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband Drake and I have one son, Hudson, and three Yellow Labs who keep us busy. We love being outdoors: canoeing, hiking, and vacationing whenever we can.
Sheri
Lab Technician
While my official title is Lab Tech, I actually work throughout the practice. In addition to making retainers and getting cases ready to put braces on, I help out at the front desk and in the clinic whenever I’m needed. It’s rewarding to get to know our patients and see the changes they go through during treatment. I especially love the end results: those beautiful smiles and knowing I have played a part in making them happen!
When I’m not working, I love to read, especially Stephen King books. I love all types of music and love to do most anything outdoors, too. My family is my life. I’ve been married to my husband Mike since 1990. We have one daughter, who got married in 2020. Now Mike and I are looking forward to the day we have a grandbaby to spoil.
Mackenzie
Orthodontic Assistant
As one of the Schumacher Orthodontics assistants, I spend my days in our clinic. I assist Dr. Schumacher with different procedures, including putting on braces, adjustments, and taking off braces. I also take before-and-after photos and X-rays. I like to interact with our patients and love watching each person’s journey from start to finish. It’s so much fun to experience the changes along with patients and share in their excitement as the new smile appears!
A lot of my free time is spent with my family and friends. I like to stay active, especially in the summer when I swim in my pool or head to the lake to boat.
Ali
Orthodontic Assistant
I work in our clinic as an orthodontic assistant. In addition to taking patient X-rays for diagnostics and records, I work chairside assisting Dr. Schumacher with adjustments and my favorite procedure: taking braces off! I love seeing people’s smiles before, during, and after treatment. The best moment is seeing people’s excitement when they see their new smile for the first time!
