Meet Our Orthodontic Team

Hi, my name is Lisa

I have been in the orthodontic field since 1975, and I have been working with Dr. Hablinski since 1998 as the financial coordinator. I look forward to helping you with all of your account and insurance needs. I have two children, Mike and Lindsey, and a grandson, Braydon. In my spare time, I enjoy boating and babysitting my sweet grandson.

 

Hi, my name is Judy

I attended the University of Texas Dental School where I completed their Certified Dental Assisting program, and began working with Dr. Hablinski in 1985. I am excited to welcome you to our practice, and I look forward to helping you take care of your smile. I have been married for 28 years, and my husband and I have two wonderful boys. One of our sons graduated from Texas A&M (Corpus Christi) and the other one is in his first year of college.

 

Hi, my name is Terri

I have been working in the orthodontic field for over 20 years. I began working in orthodontics in Glen Burnie, Maryland (where I lived for a short while), and when I moved back to Houston I began working with Dr. Hablinski. I believe it was simply God's will that I worked in orthodontics, and I'm glad! I enjoy meeting so many interesting people and helping each of them throughout their treatment. I also enjoy getting to know patients, hearing about their life experiences, accomplishments, and disappointments. I feel it helps me to have a better perspective on life in general. I can honestly say that the team I work with is great. We continue growing together each day, and I truly believe that we all share a mutual respect for each other. I am originally from Houston, living a short while in Maryland. My husband, Tom, and I have two grown children, Adam and Brooke, and a white Persian cat named Chloe. I am also a new grandma to my beautiful grandson. When I'm away from the office, I enjoy working in my yard, exercising, cooking, working on my home with my husband, reading, and growing in my faith as a believer.

 

Hi, my name is Rita

I have been an orthodontic assistant with Dr. Hablinski since 1999. I really enjoy seeing the results of my patients' treatments. Working with Dr. Hablinski is always a pleasure and I enjoy what I do here very much. I have a beautiful daughter who I love to spend my free time with. I also enjoy playing softball, bowling, and watching my daughter play softball.

 

Hi, my name is Rachel

I am the treatment consultant. It is my job to review with you your treatment plan and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. I enjoy seeing the results of Dr. Hablinski’s work and the patients’ boost in self-confidence and improved self-image after their treatment is complete. I enjoy working with such a professional group of people, who are all committed to providing the best quality care in a pleasant and fun environment. I’m originally from San Marcos, and I have lived in Houston since 1990. After 15 years working a corporate job, my dentist encouraged me to go back to school to get my certification in dental assisting. I became a certified dental assistant in 2000. I also married my husband, John, the same year. I love to travel, hike, stargaze and collect seashells. I have been a member of the Houston Conchology Society since 1996 and served as the corresponding secretary for several years. I am currently in my second term as vice president.

 

Hi, my name is Brooke

I have been with Dr. Hablinski since 1998 as an orthodontic assistant. I enjoy working with patients, helping them overcome their fears and keeping them excited about the final results of their treatments - a beautiful smile! I am married to a wonderful man named Heath, and we have a beautiful daughter. After work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, with my family, and shopping!

 

Hi, my name is Isai

I started working at the practice in September 2009. I graduated from HCC's Dental Assisting Program in May 2009. It's a great privilege and a blessing to work here. In our office, we get to meet and treat a variety of people every day. It is a great opportunity to play a part in the making of a perfect smile for each of our patients. When I'm not at work, I enjoy playing music at my church. I am the youth choir instructor. I can play the guitar, bass, and a few other instruments. I also enjoy spending time with my little niece.

 

Hi, my name is Luz

My full name is Marhaluz, but most people call me Luz! I recently graduated from Houston Community College Dental Assisting Program. I started working with Dr. Hablinski in the fall of 2009, and have been enjoying learning all the aspects of orthodontics. Being able to share in the experience of changing a person's smile is one of my favorite parts of my job. Outside of work, I am blessed to have a wonderful circle of family members. My husband and I have an adorable daughter. When I'm not at work, I enjoy taking care of my family.

 

Hi, my name is Wanda

I have worked for 22 years in the orthodontic field, until 1995 when I took a break, and recently joined Dr. Hablinski's practice in 2010. I've always enjoyed seeing the beautiful smiles that are created with orthodontic care. That's what inspired me originally to work in the orthodontic field. It's satisfying to see how happy our patients are after their treatment is complete. I am from Houston originally and have lived here since 1958! My husband and I have two children.

 

Hi, my name is Misty

I began working in the orthodontic field in 1997. I enjoy getting to work with so many different people of all different ages. It's rewarding to see how satisfied and happy each patient is when their treatment is finally complete and they have a new, beautiful smile. Every person who works at this practice is so warm and welcoming; it's a great atmosphere for the team and our patients. I have lived in Houston my whole life. I have a dog named Happy, who is a Shih-Tzu mix. In my free time, I enjoy visiting with friends, going to church, working out, and reading books.
