✨ October 30, 2001 — the day Kylie joined what is now our Smart Ortho family- hired by the Dr. Tim Quinn!✨

Twenty-four years later, she continues to be a vital part of our team as the clinical lead for our Gig Harbor practice. Kylie’s dedication, clinical expertise, and calm leadership make her an incredible mentor to our team and a true comfort to our patients.
