Office Manager

My name is Robin Martin. I am an Office Manager for Dr. Ed Kavanaugh. My duties are ensuring that the office runs efficiently and that patients are given the very best care possible. I have worked with Dr. Ed since 2001. My favorite thing about Dr. Ed would be his hard work ethic and his knowledge on many subject matters in addition to Orthdontics.
What I like about Orthodontics is watching the wonderful transformation of patients as they begin treatment until completion-what a wonderful way to build self confidence-with a smile! I have lived in Lamonte, Missouri since I was 12 years old. My husband's name is Randy. We have been married for 33 years and have a family farm. We have 3 children: Jacob, Jessica, and James. We have 7 grandchildren. My hobbies include gardening, the gym, riding my motorcycle, but most of all spending time with my  family and grandchildren on our farm.

Administrative Assistant

I am Cheryl Wilson. As an administrative assistant, I work at the front desk answering phones, making appointments and completing projects as needed. I grew up in Gallatin, Missouri.

After college and marriage to my husband, Bill, I moved to Kansas City where I raised my two children, Courtney and Brent, and taught elementary school for the North Kansas City School District. As a teacher, I saw how proud and happy children were to show their orthodontic work and now I have the opportunity to see that enthusiasm from another prospective-working in Dr. Kavanaugh's office.

Expanded Functions Orthodontic Assistant

Hi! I am Michelle.  I have been fortunate to work with Dr. Ed since 2000.  I am one of his assistants and I help him in creating beautiful smiles.  I also do lab work too- I create models of your teeth.  I enjoy working here amongst friends and meeting new patients while building good friendships as they go through braces.  I grew up in England, and I have two children; Emily & Rhyan.  We love being outside and love animals too!  I love whales and marine life.  Just ask, I love to talk about it!  A recent addition to our little family in 2011 is my wonderful boyfriend Richard.  Richard is a retired Air Force medic who has two sons, Michael & Andrew.  I feel like a very lucky woman to have such wonderful people in my life at work and home.

Expanded Functions Orthodontic Assistant

I assist in placement and removal of braces, placement of archwires, x-rays, impresssions, digital photos and lab. I have worked in Orthodontics since 1997 and have been with Dr. Ed Kavanaugh since 2002. I love Dr. Ed Kavanaugh's sense of humor, his care for patients and his heart for Orthodontics. The excitement the patients have at the removal of their braces and the change of self-esteem is rewarding, especially when they leave with a huge smile.

I was raised in Quincy, Missouri and then moved to Gardner, Kansas in 1997. I now reside in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm happily married to my wonderful husband, Phil and have two beautiful step-daughters, Paige and Brooke. I love spending time with my family and pets. I like fishing, hunting and enjoy helping my husband prepare his dirt track race car for his races.

Expanded Functions Orthodontic Assistant

I’ve worked with Dr. Kavanaugh since October of 2006. My duties are to assist in removing and placing wires, banding, bonding, taking x-rays, sterilization, and impressions. My favorite thing about Dr. Kavanaugh is the crazy colors he wears, and his stories that reflect those crazy colors. What I like about orthodontics is that I’m always learning something new. There is never a dull moment.

I was born in Kansas and spent most of life moving around Missouri and Kansas. I currently live in Smithville, MO. I’m married to my husband Brandon, and we have twin boys; Christian & Cooper. We also have 2 pugs that are like children to us. I love to sing, play all kinds of sports, and enjoy outdoor things such as camping and barbequing.

Puplic Relations Coordinator/Financial Coordinator
Expanded Functions Orthodontic Assistant

My favorite thing about Dr. Kavanaugh is the smile he puts on a patient’s face by talking and joking with them as well as the physical, beautiful smile he creates for them with orthodontics. Dr. Kavanaugh has a great sense of humor. The thing I like most about orthodontics is the fact that there is never a day that goes by that something new is not learned. I was born and raised in Chillicothe, Missouri. My hobbies consist of anything that involves my daughter, Allie and my family. I enjoy being outside, 4-wheeler riding, going to the lake, camping, and boating-I love the summer time!!
