Meet Our Doctor
Dr. James Lupi
“Orthodontics can have such an amazing impact on a person’s confidence and self-esteem, and being a part of that process is truly a privilege. I love seeing each patient’s image gradually change until they finally get their braces off and flash that first beautiful smile. It is a milestone in my patients’ lives and I am honored to share in it.”

Meet Our Staff
Diane - Patient Relations Coordinator
I joined Dr. Lupi's team in 2007 as the Patient Relations Coordinator. I’m available to assist our patients with scheduling appointments, treatment and/or billing inquiries. I enjoy working with both the great kids and adults who entrust us with their orthodontic care. Dr. Lupi's concern, dedication and individual attention for each patient truly sets him apart!
I have two children, Megan and Keith, my fiance, Steve and our extended pet family of both the furry and feathered. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, movies, music, gardening and bass fishing.
Kim G. - Treatment Coordinator
I help guide patients through treatment from day one! I love meeting our patients and getting them as excited about orthodontic treatment as I am!. It’s rewarding to see the transformation in a patient’s smile and know that it will stay with them a lifetime. I have been working with Dr. Lupi since August of 1996 and consider it an honor and a pleasure.
My husband, Eric, and I have three children, Jesse, Alley, and Madie and a Boston Terrier named DJ. We also have two grandchildren, Serenity and Sully. In my spare time, I enjoy Zumba, scrapbooking, decorating for special events, and reading.
Charlotte - Clinical Coordinator
As the clinical coordinator, I work chairside with the patient as well as ensure that the treatment area operates smoothly and on time. Our patients are the best thing about our practice. We get to watch their self-esteem grow and see them smile more. Dr. Lupi has a great sense of humor. There’s always laughter throughout the office.
My husband, Alan, and I have a son, Joey, as well as our newest 4-legged addition to the family, our puppy 'Yahtzee'! My leisure time is spent painting or goofing off with my son.
Dave - Lab Technician
I work in the lab, creating appliances and retainers. The best cases are ones that require designs unique to that patient. Orthodontics is about constantly changing ideas and technology. There is always more than one way to do something with an accurate result. I am even a former patient of Dr. Lupi!
My family includes my one year old son, David, my old dog Hannah, my mother and father, and my sister/best friend, Heather. In my free time, I love working on my new home, watching sports, playing in the dirt with David, listening to music, and napping on the couch with the little guy. I am also getting very good at re-learning shapes, colors, and my ABCs.
