Meet the Staff
Jenny
Hello! I am one of Dr. Henson’s orthodontic assistants, meeting and greeting our patients and helping with adjustments and checkups. My favorite part of coming to work every day is seeing our wonderful patients! I enjoy getting to know them and want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible. We have a fun office, full of laughter, and we all enjoy working together as a team.
I’m married to my husband, Matt. We have a son, Dean, a daughter, Mallory, and a Yellow lab named Cooper. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, running, painting, gardening and camping. I also love the Twilight series!
Christina
Welcome! I’m Christina. I have been in orthodontics for 10 years and with Dr. Henson for nearly half of those. I spent my first few years with Dr. Henson assisting him in his clinic. I soon discovered that I enjoy every aspect of working in an orthodontic office so it was a natural progression for me to move in to the front office. These days you’ll find me helping you maximize your insurance benefits, assisting with financial questions, and ensuring that the world knows how awesome of an orthodontist Dr. Henson is in the role of Personal Relations Coordinator.
I feel blessed to be a part of such a talented and caring team! We are family oriented and enjoy finding ways to make your visits fun as we work together to create beautiful smiles. Having experienced braces first hand I know how having a great smile can raise self-esteem. I never get tired of seeing the transformation take place!
My husband Gary and I have two incredible daughters, Aida and Raina. In my spare time I am a design junkie, crafter, and lover of all things artsy. I am an Oregon native and could not imagine a better playground to live in! I love people so don’t be alarmed to know I consider you an instant friend.
Danielle
Hey there! My name is Danielle Pemberton and I am one of Dr. Henson's orthodontic assistants! One of my best qualities as Dr. Henson's assistant is I treat everyone like family, I take time to make sure you receive the best quality of care and help you achieve that perfect smile. It is always important to have a positive attitude and make our patients feel as comfortable as possible. I graduated from Concorde Career College in the spring of 2011 and joined Dr. Henson's office the summer of 2011. I have a daughter, Madysyn who is a spit-fire and always keeps me on my toes. My hobbies I enjoy are scrap booking and spending my time with my daughter.
Tina
My name is Tina, I am the Scheduling Coordinator at our Astoria office. Having been born and raised in a small town, I love that feeling you get when you see a familiar face and someone who calls you by name. I want all our patients to feel like that when they walk through our doors. My husband Carey and I have two children, Darby and Ryder who keep us extremely busy. When I’m not crafting with my daughter or playing dinosaurs with my son, I enjoy reading, traveling, and like most girls- shopping!
Natalie
I have the good fortune to be Dr. Henson’s Treatment Coordinator. It is my pleasure to welcome new patients to our office as if I were welcoming them into my home. I am happy to be our patient’s first experience with Henson Orthodontics; in fact it’s the best part of my job! Getting to know the families within our community and including them in the laughter and fun that is common amongst our team is the highlight of my day. I’ve lived in the Astoria/Warrenton area for over 17 years and love the life our small North Coast towns provide. Rain or shine I like to explore the beaches and State Parks with my family. When not out doors I can be found not acting my age with my two children, Raina and Nathan.

Kelsey
I am the scheduling coordinator for the Wilsonville office. The best part of my job is I get to visit with all the patients and parents that come in our office. At Henson Orthodontics, we are team, an extremely fun team at that! “If you love your job you never have to work a day in your life”. I can honestly say that is how I feel. When I am not working I enjoy riding horses. I was the St. Paul Rodeo princess is 2010. My newest hobby is roping! I have 3 horses at the moment, and 2 dogs, Hooey at 5 months and Roy is 13 years old. Traveling, rodeos, reading, and exercise are just a few things I like to do outside of work.
