Meet The TeamAnchored Orthodontics

Wendy wears many hats at Anchored Orthodontics from running consultations, to coordinating insurance, and helping Dr. McMahon run the day-to-day operations of the business! Wendy, a licensed dental assistant, has worked in orthodontics since 1996. Dr. McMahon met Wendy at a group practice they both worked at, and was thrilled to add her to the Anchored Orthodontics team in spring 2024. Wendy is passionate about orthodontics, and is always happy to answer questions regarding treatment plans, insurance and scheduling. On her free time, Wendy loves hiking, traveling and visiting national parks. Wendy resides in the south metro and has two daughters in their early 20s.

While you may see Kevin working at the front desk from time-to-time, he is primarily behind the scenes managing the financial and business operations of Anchored Orthodontics. Kevin spent the first 15 years of his career working in commercial real estate finance, structuring and managing complex real estate development transactions. Kevin, a graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with degrees in finance and entrepreneurship, helped build Anchored Orthodontics from a twinkle in Dr. McMahon’s eye to the thriving practice it is today. Kevin, who lives just down the road from our Minnetonka office, loves baseball, has a soft spot for every dog he has ever met, and adores his son Rory!
