-There is nothing more satisfying than stunning before and afters!

Lori – Insurance Coordinator
Lori is currently a nursing student at Delta College of Nursing in Lafayette. She loves coming to work each day because she doesn’t just verify insurance but educates patients about their benefits and all the ways it can help them get the smile they want. When asked about working with Dr. Theriot and the team, Lori said, “We go the extra mile for our patients, in ALL departments, and that truly creates an amazing atmosphere to work in. Not only are we co-workers; we are family.”
Though Lori originally grew up just south of New Orleans, she had to relocate after Hurricane Katrina. She loves the area along with the Cajun culture. “Noone stays a stranger for long. Plus, the food in this area cannot be beat!”
Most of her free time goes to studying for nursing school and spending time with her fiancé, Dominic. Though, when she has time Lori loves to do anything outdoors or transforming items others have disposed of in order to turn them into beautiful décor pieces. One of her favorite life memories is when she was fortunate enough to tour Italy.
