Meet the Team
Kathy
Office Manager
Hi, my name is Kathy, and I’m the office manager for Priebe Orthodontics. I’ve been with Dr. Priebe since 2003 when he began his practice here. I have a great job! I get to work with many people on our team that I have known for years and really are more like family than coworkers. In fact, one of the team members is my youngest daughter, Jamie. I also love that the practice of orthodontics allows us to build a relationship with our patients while giving them a great smile, confidence, and overall, improving their oral health.
I was born in Wisconsin and came to Alaska with my parents. I graduated from East High and attended the University of Alaska Anchorage dental assisting program. Being in need of orthodontics myself, I became very interested in the specialty of orthodontics and took a position in an office where I was both assistant and receptionist. I have remained in orthodontics for 38 years. I have four grown children and nine grandchildren. I love being a grandmother!
Cathy "Lynn"
Chairside Assistant
Hi, I’m Cathy “Lynn”. I am a chairside/lab assistant for Priebe Orthodontics. I also have an orthodontic lab business named “Wirebenders” with two friends. I have worked for Dr. Priebe since March 2003 when he started his practice in Anchorage. I love working in orthodontics because it has such a powerful positive effect on people’s self-esteem. I really enjoy working with Dr. Priebe because although he strives for perfection he is still fun and light hearted.
I was born in Putnam, Connecticut, and traveled a lot because my father was in the Army. I came to Anchorage in 1969 and have lived here ever since. I am married with two adult children, Sean, who lives in Anchorage, and Stephanie who is in grad school in Connecticut. I have been in the orthodontic field for 32 years. In my spare time, I like to play with our dogs, Gabby and Xena. I love to bake, read, and go to dinner and the movies with my husband, Bill.
