Meet Dr. Renelle Conner
A note from Dr. Parker:
Dear Patients,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce Dr. Renelle Conner as a new member of our team.
Dr. Renelle R. Conner; Orthodontics is her passion. She is enthusiastic about empowering people through transforming their smiles. In fact, she is so passionate and enthusiastic that while working in clinic to create beautiful smiles, she can often be overheard trying to convince patients to become orthodontists too. She grew up in Toppenish, Washington. Yes, that is right, she is a local! In high school she enjoyed competing in volleyball, track, and rodeo. She is proud to say that she still holds the Girls Toppenish High School annual triathlon record, having beaten the previous record by four minutes. If you are reading this and you are from Toppenish, she encourages you to try and beat her record!
After graduating Toppenish High School, she enlisted in the United States Air Force and served on active duty for four years as a meteorologist, forecasting for pilots, locations and missions. Although she started a career as an Air Force weather forecaster, her path was altered when an oral surgeon and orthodontist fixed her smile. Realizing the enormous positive impact that was made on her own life, through the work of these doctors, she knew that this was how she wanted to improve the lives of others. To do this, she transitioned from full-time military to a full-time student, completing 11 years of higher education, becoming a doctor and completing a residency in orthodontics.
Outside of the office Dr. Conner has many hobbies. Her favorites are hiking, boating, spending time with her husband Jay, making espresso, playing Skip-Bo with family, and eating spicy foods!
Dr. Conner is a member of the following organizations: American Association of Orthodontists, Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics, Society of American Indian Dentists, 446th Aerospace Medicine Squadron—USAF Reserve Dental Service Corp, American Dental Association.
Please welcome Dr. Conner to the practice.
