Meet Our Team

After moving to Reno in 2011, Kasey quickly fell in love with the mountains and Reno outdoor life. Kasey considers Reno home. He has over 20 years of management experience that he brings to the Leland Orthodontics team.

He loves cooking, soccer, playing with his kids, outdoor activities, and learning new trades. If he is not playing soccer, he is cooking and working on new recipes with his kids, and enjoying the Reno/Tahoe outdoors.

Paige has been an Orthodontic Assistant since 2017 and loves being part of the journey that helps patients feel confident in their smiles. Her favorite part of her work is seeing how a beautiful, healthy smile can transform not just someone’s appearance, but their self-esteem too.

When she’s not in the office, Paige enjoys spending time with her son and daughter — along with her black cat, Figgy, and pet spider, Shilob. She loves exploring the outdoors, searching for interesting creatures, and foraging for mushrooms or unique plants. On quieter days, you can often find her indoors making beaded bracelets and enjoying creative downtime.

Meet Taylor. She was born and raised in Las Vegas and moved to Reno a few years ago for school. Now that she has graduated she spends most of her time redecorating her home with her fiancé and two cats, Terri and Grimm. They weight over 18 pounds each so they need a lot of extra love! Taylor loves to antique and thrift, especially furniture, so if you know any good shops make sure to tell her!

Born and raised right here in Reno, Karina brings a friendly local touch to every patient interaction. She’s passionate about beauty, makeup, and fashion, and loves spending her free time at concerts. As the youngest of three, Karina’s energetic and upbeat personality helps make every visit to our office a positive experience.

Katie grew up in the Northwest and has been assisting in oral surgery and orthodontics since 2009. Katie is all about getting down and dirty!

She loves to go camping and hunting with her Labradors, Brewer and Roxxie. (They’re adorable). She also has a black cat named Evie who loves to do some hunting of her own and bring in all kinds of creatures- from mice to lizards to birds. Although Katie wishes she would hunt down some Taco Bell for her.

Katie has a beautiful baby boy Matthew who keeps her running around!

This is V! (aka Victoria but prefers V). She is the scheduling coordinator and creative director who brings sunshine from her hometown of Huntington Beach to the mountains of Reno. She traded the ocean breeze for alpine air and couldn’t be happier! V lives with her husband, Joshua, and their two cats—Brooks and the not-so-little Evangeline (aka Eva). When she’s not organizing schedules or dreaming up creative ideas, you’ll find her hiking around Reno and Tahoe, building Legos, crafting miniatures, or cozying up on the couch with her cats.

Jessie is your go-to for all things insurance and financial at LO! Originally from Southern California and raised in Reno, Jessie brings a friendly and dependable presence to our team.

Outside the office, Jessie loves spending time with her husband, Irving, and their adorable son, Luca. They also have another little one on the way! She enjoys showing her love through cooking and baking, especially when experimenting with new sourdough flavors on the weekends. And if you’ve been in the office, you’ve probably seen her artistic side—peep the fun drawings she creates on our mirror to celebrate debonds! Jessie is also fluent in Spanish and always happy to help our Spanish-speaking patients feel right at home.

Marisa has over five years of experience working in orthodontics and is dedicated to providing exceptional patient care while helping individuals achieve healthy, confident smiles. She enjoys building positive relationships with patients and takes pride in creating a welcoming, comfortable experience for everyone she works with.

Originally from Bakersfield, California, Marisa relocated to Reno in late 2022. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time outdoors—whether it’s fishing, hiking, or exploring new places—as well as relaxing with friends, family, and her cat.

Meet Karlee! She never stops moving! You will see her snapping your initial photos, taking your x-ray, scanning your teeth, and always with a HUGE grin on her face! She has 2 siblings and a cat named Nala, and enjoys spending her free time with them. She LOVES kids, and more than anything she loves making them smile and laugh. And last but not least, pink is her favorite color!

Meet Margot! She is in charge of ‘fun’ stuff, like contests, community outreach, parties, etc as well as handling the ‘not-so-fun-but-necessary-back-end-behind-the-scenes-stuff,’ like making sure the smiirls are working (if you don’t know what these are, come visit us at the office)! She enjoys being active and trying new things, with her latest undertaking consisting of joining the ever so popularly growing sport of pickleball. Fun fact- she has her black belt in karate, so watch out!

Meet the Leland Ortho Ninja Team. They love soccer, hockey and playing Roblox. You can find them around the office shredding paper, doing ninja moves, or sneaking candy. What do they want to be when they grow up? Professional soccer players, duh!

He IS the LIFE of the party! He takes photos, GIF’s, boomerangs and more! He is available for your school’s upcoming event, and he brings his friends from Leland Ortho along with him. Any questions- please call or text us for details!

This guy is a jack of ALL trades! Compared to a 2D XRay, his images show an accurate rendering of the skull and all structures inside of it (think teeth, roots of teeth, jaw joints, nerves, nasal passageways, width of jaws, airway, sinuses,etc). This is all just nerd speak for he allows Dr. Leland to create the most accurate and efficient treatment plans around! Oh and did we mention that he also allows Doc to precisely evaluate airway issues as well? I told you he is an all around Master of his Craft!

He takes digital images of your teeth- think NO MORE goopy impressions that make you gag! Added bonus- these digital images are more precise than traditional impressions. And one last cool thing- these images are stored so no more wasting time having to come in to retake the impression if it’s lost, not accurate, etc. C-3PO has got you covered!
