Whitney Spainhoward, Schedule and Financial Coordinator
 Hi! My name is Whitney. Being at the front desk, I get to see and talk to lots of cool people, like you! When you call our office, I’m probably the one you’ll talk to and when you walk into the office, I’m the first one you’ll see! I have been in the dental field for over 10 years but I have worked with Dr. Cook since April 2006 and, to be honest, it’s not really like work because we have so much fun!
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, traveling, and gardening. I have two awesome step-children, Alex and Lauren, and a furry family member, Scooper. I look forward to meeting you!

Kelly Kain, Treatment Coordinator
 Hi! I’m Kelly and I will be taking care of you on your first visit to Cook Orthodontics. I have been a Dental Assistant for over 20 years and have worked in many specialties, including pediatrics, general dentistry, and most recently, oral surgery. I joined the Cook Ortho team in August 2009.
I really enjoy working with children as I have three of my own. Audra plays soccer and cheers. Bennett plays football, basketball and baseball. Laurel loves cheering on her brother and sister! In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family, reading, shopping, and of course, watching my children play sports!

Rebekah Sitterding, Clinical Coordinator and Assistant
 Hi! I’m Rebekah. I am an Assistant and Clinical Coordinator. I joined the team in 2006 after graduating from the University of Southern Indiana with an Associate of Science degree and certification in Dental Assisting. I enjoy working in orthodontics because each day brings a new variety of faces to see. And we love to have fun!
When I’m not beautifying smiles, I enjoy shopping, eating out, spending time with family and friends and being Mom to my adorable son, Taylor.

Deanna Saucerman, Lab Coordinator and Clinical Assistant
 Hey everyone! Welcome to the Cook Ortho website! My name is Deanna. I am a Clinical Assistant as well as the Lab Coordinator. I make all the cool retainers that you receive at the end of your treatment. I have worked for Dr. Cook since January 2008 and I love it! We have a great time and usually act pretty goofy!
I have two daughters that had orthodontic treatment with Dr. Cook, and their smiles are beautiful! I have been a Dental Assistant for over 19 years. (That’s probably longer than most of you have been alive!) I love what I do. It is so gratifying to see the changes our patients go through during the orthodontic process.
When I’m not straightening your teeth, I enjoy cruising on my boat with my family and hanging out with friends. I have a dog named Dylan, two cats named Smokey and Chewy and a snake named Tiny. He’s really not very tiny though! I look forward to meeting you and hope to see you soon!

Becky Merrick, Assistant
 Hi, I’m Becky. I joined Cook Orthodontics as an assistant in August 2011. I am excited to be part of such a great team! I have over six years of experience as a dental assistant. I enjoy assisting patients through all stages of treatment and having the opportunity to see the end results- which is a wonderful smile! I have always thought of myself as a people person and I love being in an office where I not only get to work with great people but also get to meet so many awesome new people.
In my time away from the office, I enjoy being a mother to my two beautiful daughters, Alexandra and Nicole. We have three pets that include two Beagle/Bassett dogs and a lucky little cat named “Seven”. I also like to spend quality time with friends and family. Depending on the season, you can find me hanging out beside a pool or cooking s’mores over a campfire! I look forward to meeting you very soon!

Robin Cook, Office Manager
 Hi, I’m Robin! I have been working at Cook Orthodontics since the opening in September 2003. I work in the business office behind the scenes, performing bookkeeping and payroll duties as well as coordinating our community involvement activities and local team sponsorships.
Currently, I work part-time for Dr. Cook so I can also spend quality time at home with my young son, Carson. In my free time, I like to travel, read, watch movies and spend time outdoors with my family!
I really enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere we offer at Cook Orthodontics. The people I work with are fabulous, and I’m lucky to have them as both co-workers and friends. Orthodontics is really the best job in the world – we have the opportunity to provide such a positive impact on people! And the best part . . . that smile lasts a lifetime!
