Meet the Staff | Coyne Oral Surgery

With over 16 years of experience at Coyne Oral Surgery, Marlena brings a wealth of knowledge to our practice. She originally joined Coyne Oral Surgery in a front office position despite having a dental phobia! She quickly became fascinated by oral surgery and began learning everything she could about the field.

While working at Coyne Oral Surgery, Marlena attended Tennessee Tech College and graduated with her Registered Dental Assistant degree. Today, she is a vital team member in providing quality care to our patients. "With every patient, we strive to give them a very comfortable and genuine experience," says Marlena.

Outside of work, Marlena enjoys singing, spending time with her two children, and traveling — especially to Siesta Key Beach in her home state of Florida, where she loves hunting for shark teeth.

A Middle Tennessee native, Kaitelyn graduated from Remington College in Nashville with a Dental Assisting diploma. A passion for the surgical aspect of dentistry led her to join our team at Coyne Oral Surgery, where she plays a critical role in caring for patients throughout their entire procedures.

While the work is serious, as Kaitelyn says, "We are a fun-loving office that takes the time to make our patients comfortable and ensure the best care."

Outside of work, Kaitelyn enjoys crafting, watching the show Friends, and spending time with her two young children.
