Meet Our Staff

As a treatment coordinator I meet with our new patients at their initial consultation. I’ve been with Dr. Croco since 2010, but I have over 20 years of experience in the dental field. My favorite thing about orthodontics is making the patients happy and watching their smiles transform. The thing I like best about working with Dr. Croco is seeing his enthusiasm for orthodontics and his ability to make our patients laugh. I’m a native of Seattle, WA and have lived in Iowa City since 2008. I have a son and daughter who manage to keep me very busy. In my free time, I love spending time with my children, family, and friends, and when time allows, exercising.

Hello, my name is Sandy. I am a Certified Orthodontic Assistant. My duties include chair-side assisting, taking x-rays, and working in the lab. I’ve been with Croco Orthodontics since 2008. My favorite thing about orthodontics is building relationships with our patients and helping to create beautiful smiles. I enjoy working with Dr. Croco because he is easy to get along with and has a great sense of humor. I always look forward to seeing our patients and hearing about all the new things happening in their lives. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Mark. We live in Solon with our daughter, Karrigan, our son Maddux, and Herky, our Havanese. I love to be outside, exercise, watch movies, and spend time with family and friends. We also enjoy going to Iowa Hawkeye sporting events and St. Louis Cardinal games.
