Diane HardyAdministrative Coordinator

I’ve had the privilege of working with Dr. Monacell, our patient families, and fellow team members for the past 32 years. During this time, I’ve seen hundreds of patients achieve great smiles, and now we are seeing them put their trust in us again by returning with their children and/or grandchildren for their treatment. It’s been great to see how over the years Dr. Monacell has kept our practice abreast of the greatest and latest technology available in orthodontics allowing patients to complete their treatment in record time.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time and beach vacations with my husband, Ron, and our family, which now includes 4 grandchildren.

Amy MonacellInsurance Coordinator

Yes, I am Dr. Monacell’s daughter! I started cleaning the office with my younger sister, Emily, when I was 8 years old. Throughout my high school and college years, I continued to work during the summers doing clerical duties. I have been working full time as the Insurance Coordinator since 2001. In March 2014, I became an aunt to my niece, Brooklyn.

During my spare time, I enjoy cross-stitching, watching game shows, doing dot to dot puzzles, jigsaw puzzles and playing with my cat, Spicy.

Betty BlickTreatment Coordinator

I have been fortunate to work with Dr. Monacell since October 1999. I help new patients get started with their treatment plan. I enjoy seeing the transformations happen while they go through treatment. One of the most rewarding things for me is seeing the finished result and how it has impacted that patient in a positive way. I love my job and working for Dr. Monacell makes it easy.

When I’m not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Van, and my two boys, Kenny and Mason. We love going boating, fishing, bowling or just hanging at home to watch a good movie.

When I’m not working my husband Eugene and I cater and love to cook at home. I have two beautiful children, little Eugene and Kamryn, and can’t wait for them to have Monacell Smiles!
