Meet the Eagle River Team

Orthodontic Technician

I joined Eagle River Orthodontics in June of 2008, bringing with me more than 20 years of prior experience. My favorite part of my job is seeing the reaction of each patient when they get their braces off and being a part of that special moment in their life. I enjoy working with both Dr. Eldon and Dr. Robert because of their cheerful and caring attitudes and enthusiasm for life!

I got married in 1990 to my husband, Armand, and have two children, Amanda and Adriana along with two grandchildren Aria and Arlo. I love spending time with them on the weekends! I also enjoy camping and fishing in the summer time.

Julie

Orthodontic Technician

I have been working in orthodontics since 1990 and have been with Eagle River Orthodontics since 2007. I love meeting new people and watching their self-esteem grow as their confidence and smiles change. It truly makes a difference in their lives! Our team is the best! We are one big happy family and we recommend our doctors at every opportunity!

I am married with five kids and six grandbabies. I love spending time outdoors when I am not in the office.

Petra

Orthodontic Lab Tech

I have been working in orthodontics since 1982 and joined Dr. DeKay’s practice in 2000. Dr. Eldon is friendly, professional, and excited to share his knowledge of orthodontics so I am always learning something new. Dr. Robert is a lot like his dad, which makes for a great office atmosphere! My favorite thing about orthodontics is watching the changes happen with patient treatment, and I love making the appliances, too!

I am married to Glenn and have a beautiful daughter, Lily! When I’m not in the office I’m with my family!

Amber

Orthodontic Technician

I joined the ERO team in 2024 and knew immediately that I had found a special place! Dr. Eldon and Dr. Robert are caring and compassionate and the staff is so kind and warm. I love getting the know the patients as they come see us to transform their smiles. My favorite thing is seeing the before and after photos the day braces come off!

After 24 years as an Air Force family, we are happy to have made Alaska our forever home (although I grew up in Anchorage, so it was always “home” for me). My husband, Tony, and I have 3 grown children, Sam, Anna and Joshua. In my downtime, I enjoy yoga, quilting, traveling and cheering for my Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team.
