Our Office
Dr. Darren Ravassipour
After
growing up in beautiful Wenatchee, Washington, Dr. Ravassipour received his Bachelor’s
of Science in Chemistry from the University of Puget Sound, followed by post-graduate
study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!). Dr.
Ravassipour graduated in the top 5% of his class with a Doctorate in Dental Surgery
and Masters of Science in Orthodontics. While in college he was co-captain of
the tennis team and actively involved in student life.
Dr. Ravassipour has published articles on a variety of orthodontic topics
and has volunteered with the Head Start Programs to develop a program for oral
health education. His commitment to our community also finds him actively involved
in the local Dental Society (serving as President in 2007) and Rotary Club.
Dr.
Ravassipour and his wife, a rare Rogue Valley native, are the proud
parents of Reid and Piper.
The Team
Dr. Ravassipour and his staff are passionate about helping you achieve
the most beautiful and healthy smile possible. We offer our family of patients
a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and with over 60 years combined experience, the
Ravassipour team prides itself on developing treatment and managing even the
most challenging orthodontic cases.
Ivy, Treatment Coordinator
Her title may be Treatment Coordinator, but it really doesn’t due her
justice! From assisting with orthodontic procedures to managing the office, Ivy
does it all (and has done so for over 30 years)! When not at the office,
Ivy and her husband John enjoy spending time with their grandchildren and riding
motorcycles. Fun fact: Ivy loves the Supremes and dreamt of joining the group ‘back
in the day.’
Brianna, Orthodontic Assistant
Brianna
has always been passionate about orthodontics and says working with Dr. Ravassipour’s
patients is “the greatest!” She
is currently working on her radiology certification and plans to complete the
program this Fall. When not working Brianna loves to golf and relax with family,
but most especially being Mom to her son Alex. Fun fact: Brianna admits to being
a terrible singer who loves to sing all the time.
Sarah, Orthodontic Assistant
Sarah comes to the practice with over six years
of orthodontic experience along with x-ray and expanded function certifications.
She is a rare Medford native and is now enjoying raising her son here! When not
working she loves to sing karaoke with friends. Fun Fact: Sarah has tried
out for American Idol twice and you should hear the girl sing!
Chana, Appointment Coordinator
Chana manages the practice’s scheduling
and is the smiling face that greets patients and answers your calls. When not
at work she and her sons can be found enjoying a number of sports and camping.
Fun fact: Chana grew up on a ranch in Macdoel, CA, and recently completed a 3-day
cattle drive from Macdoel to McCloud.

Michelle, Financial Coordinator
Michelle’s 10+ years in credit management
has made her an invaluable part of our practice financials and insurance
billing team. When not at the office Michelle is most often with her 2 boys and
involved in some sort of sporting event. Fun Fact: Michelle and her whole family
jam to Rock Band on the weekends.
Erinn, Administrative & Technical Support
Erinn is a full-time student
at Southern Oregon University and a part-time office guru! She serves as our
sterile tech, laboratory tech and computer troubleshooter. Is there anything
the girl can’t do? When not working she teaches swim
lessons and loves to play ultimate Frisbee with friends & family. Fun Fact:
Erinn dreams of someday working as a Disaster Relief Aide.
Lori, Laboratory Technician
With over 7 years of specialty
experience, Lori helps with our orthodontic appliances, retainers and models.
Lori, along with her husband and two boys, enjoys all things outdoors: hiking,
camping, fishing and hunting. Fun Fact: Lori loves to arm wrestle! (And if you’ve
seen the ‘guns’ on this girl you know she’s good at it too).
