Your Fort Worth Dentistry Team
Martha - Hygiene Coordinator
Joined the office in 2008, but I feel like I've been part of the team forever. I was born in Portland, Oregon and moved to Fort Worth when I got engaged. I enjoy cooking, reading, and socializing.
Christie - Hygienist
Christie joined our team in late 2003. She brought with her over 20 years of experience in dentistry and a passion for cooking things she cannot pronounce. When not taking excellent care of our patient's hygiene needs she is seeking out adrenaline sports, the perfect produce at Central Market, shoe shopping, and spoiling her 165 lb "baby" Diesel (see photo). Christie recently gave up her 23 year fight with singledom and will marry Dwight early next year. Please stop by her room so she can flash that ring at you!
Renee - Insurance Coordinator
I joined the dental family about two years ago after marrying my wonderful husband Ron and relocating to his neck of the woods. I have a son and a daughter that I am proud to say both attend the University of North Texas in Denton. I also have two younger stepchildren and a Shih Tzu that keep us very busy. I truly enjoy my job, it has given me an opportunity to meet a lot of wonderful people. When you call or come into the office I will be happy to assist you with making a Dental appointment, I can also answer any questions you may have about your dental insurance or with making financial arrangements.
Natalia - Dental Assistant
Natalia grew up in a suburb outside of Chicago, IL. She began dental assisting while she was a senior in high school over 8 years ago. Growing up in Illinois there are 2 things you must love 1. Da Bears (otherwise her brother would disown her) and 2. Snow, lots and lots of snow!! She moved to Texas in October of 2006 when her boyfriend finished his duty with the US Army. She and Sam began dating when he broke the Army cardinal rule "Never date another soldiers sister." Natalia started working at Dr. Batton and Dr. Harlin's in April of 2007. She may come off quiet at first, but she has a quirky personality that makes you want to smile. She can NOT sing but tends to try as long as Paula (another assistant) isn't around to make her stop. She enjoys watching House and Bones or just about anything medically related. Also, Rachel Ray's cooking shows give her great help cooking meals in her new home. Outside of TV she enjoys traveling, reading, shopping, and laying out by the pool. There probably isn't a day that goes by that you don't hear about Natalia's greatest love, her dogs. Pirate and big man Hercules (all 4lbs of him!!).
Staci - Dental Assistant
Dentistry has been a big part of my entire life. I grew up in a dental family and have continued the profession I grew to love. My favorite part of working in a dental office is helping people whether it is relieving their pain or making their smile a little brighter. I love the satisfaction of a patient telling me that they love their new smile and that they enjoy smiling now. In my spare time I enjoy working in the yard, riding my Harley (yes a Harley), with the love of my life Randy, and most of all spending time with my daughter Mallory, my son Mattison, and my precious Grandson Caden.
April - Patient Coordinator
April has a wealth of experience in dentistry and been with Team Batton & Harlin for two years. She is the pleasant voice of "WELCOME" to all of the people who call in to schedule an appointment with the doctors. Her passion for her job and the patients she serves is always evident by her accommodating demeanor and willingness to assist the patient with any issue from a regular cleaning to an unforeseen dental emergency. In her spare time, she enjoys aerobics, reading, and watching live music. She is married to Dusty and has two children, Jordan and Colton, and two obnoxious cats, Pepper and Allie.
