Meet The Team
Dr. Gina Kessler
Dr. Gina Kessler is known as “the local orthodontist” serving Denver and surrounding communities. Every day, she brings her gentle manner, upbeat personality, and genuine interest in caring for others to her work.
As a mother of four, no one understands the emotional, physical and financial strains that orthodontia can put on family life better than Dr. Kessler. But she also sees the lifetime of value in having a spectacular smile, both in the way that it looks and in its functionality.
Over the years, Dr. Kessler has spoken on a variety of topics at different CDA, ADA and WDA events. Topics have included how to balance a career and family life as well as successfully juggling a business partnership with a spouse.
Along with her husband Brett, she has been a participant in a monthly interdisciplinary study group with other local dentists to discuss cases and support one another in recommendations for treatment.
As family-focused as Dr. Kessler is, it’s only natural that her community involvement directly relates to her three children. A Girl Scout until her sophomore year of high school, she still feels strongly that the organization provided her with the tools that make her who she is today.
With that inspiration in mind, she brought the Girl Scouts to her daughter Abbey’s school and has been a troop leader there for the past five years.
Dr. Kessler is also actively involved in the Parent Association of Logan School (PALS), where she has sat on numerous committees and helped raise money for the school’s various programs. Prior to that, she was on the parent committee at the preschool her children attended.
Monique
Monique has been with the TCDO team since December 2003. Before joining our team, she worked as a dental assistant at another practice for 3 years. She started as an assistant, and then moved to the position of Clinical Director.
Her favorite thing about working at TCDO is the family environment. When she’s not in the office, she loves spending time with her husband and son. Her favorite pastimes are skiing, camping, and traveling with her family and friends.
Stephanie
Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Stephanie moved to Denver with her husband after she graduated from dental hygiene school. When she’s not in the office, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their Old English Bulldog named Lily. They enjoy the outdoors through biking, taking hikes and practicing Bikram Yoga.
Stephanie’s favorite part about working for TCDO is building long-term relationships with her patients and empowering them to control their own oral health.
Linda
Linda has worked as a chairside assistant for two general dental practices in Denver’s dental community before changing her focus to orthodontics in 1997.
Since 2010, Linda has worked as a chairside assistant as well as the administrator and organizer for Dr. Gina Kessler and the orthodontic side of the practice. Witnessing the beautiful smiles unfolding every day makes her own smile shine!
She and her husband, Jeff, love spending time with their six children, traveling, entertaining, sports and enjoying the Colorado lifestyle.
