Kat
Hi! I am Katherine, known around here as Kat. I was born and raised in the area and look forward to seeing so many familiar faces! I have been with Dr Trisler and his team since May 2022 and can say I have found my home away from home. In my spare time, I am a busy mother of 3 where you can catch us in the basketball gym, on the softball field, or assisting with our towing business, Game Over Towing, here in Oak Ridge! I cannot wait to watch each of you transform your smile into the shining and confident smile you all deserve. I have full faith you all will feel at home here as well! As always, thank you for entrusting us to care for you! Welcome to the ETO family!

Jean
Hello!! My name is Jean and I recently joined ETO in 2023. Originally from Philadelphia, PA I began working in dentistry in 2005 as a Dental Assistant. I was able to expand my knowledge in dentistry working at the University of Pennsylvania Dental school and then did travel dentistry that landed me in Texas where I met my husband who is originally from East Tennessee! I moved here in 2019 and have loved it ever since! My focus is working directly in the community and enjoy educating patients on Oral Health. You can catch me in my free time on Norris Lake with family, fishing and kayaking or watching my son play Baseball.

We have 3 great kiddos (plus some doodles and rabbits!) who keep us busy with all kinds of activities including soccer and dance! I enjoy being a part of the smile transformations here and enjoy all the friendships we have the privilege of establishing through those smiling faces! The passions in life that God has given me are dancing, running, and just hanging out with my family! When I’m not in the office, you most likely will see me over at the Dance Centre of Oak Ridge where I help teach!

I am thrilled to be part of the ETO family and can't wait to use my skills with insurance claims to help the team and our amazing patients. When I'm not at work, I love spending time with my two daughters, Marcie and Madi. You can usually find me relaxing in my hammock swing, watching birds, going on nature walks, or enjoying a beautiful sunset.
Lauren
Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, I've been surrounded by dentistry my whole life thanks to my dad's 20+ years in the field. I joined ETO in September 2024 and love seeing familiar faces-many of our patients are my former students from my years as a Knox County teacher! Staying connected with them and their families has been such a joy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and cheering on the Vols at any sporting event!
