We are pleased to present the award for OM Excellence for June to Danielle Lyon, Operations Manager at the Harbor Kids Dental – Longview practice. Danielle has been a consistent source of support, positivity, and leadership across multiple offices. She’s a team player—always willing to step in wherever help is needed, whether it’s in the clinic, at the front desk, or behind the scenes supporting accounts receivable for different offices.
Recently, Danielle has taken on even more by traveling to other practices within her region to work as a Treatment Coordinator and help train new teams. Her ability to share knowledge with kindness and clarity makes a real impact, and her positivity is contagious. She’s a ray of sunshine, someone who not only brings a great attitude but also gets things done and lifts up those around her.
Danielle truly embodies our mission of putting kids first. She always prioritizes the patient experience, constantly asking how she can better support families—whether that means helping them understand their treatment plans, navigating financial options, or making sure they feel confidnet in moving forward with care.
Her contributions have had a powerful ripple effect in the ortho line of business as well. Starting her journey in the back office and growing into a manager and treatment coordinator, she now trains others, helping strengthen the entire region. We’re incredibly proud of her growth, and her ongoing commitment to our mission.
Danielle makes a difference every day, and we’re lucky to have her leading by example.
