Dr. Crise's outstanding credentials combined with her love for children, her genuine concern for the well-being of her patients, and her fascination with the science of orthodontics makes her an exceptional orthodontist.

The idea for her Hollywood/Broadway themed office was sparked from her very own love for the stage. Dr. Crise, who also wears many other hats (mother, wife, singer, public speakerand Texas Aggie-- whoop!), regularly performs on various community theater stages as well as for schools, community events, church and charity functions. Her first love, however, continues to be "Creating Smiles, Hollywood Style" in an enjoyable atmosphere where her patients are the real "Stars".

Dr. Crise regularly gives of her time to the community. Annually, she speaks to second graders all over McKinney and the surrounding areas about the importance of dental health. She has been interviewed as an orthodontic specialist by Channel 8 (ABC news) and has been a radio contributor with her very own "Crise Byte" Health news spot.  She has spoken to middle schools about the importance of getting an education and to high schools about the importance of science in our world. She employs several high school students in her office through the school work program to encourage students to take dental and medical career paths. Her commitment to the community is displayed in her generous charity involvement. She provides a health professions scholarship for McKinney graduates and is a large contributor to many national and local charities benefiting children.

Dr. Crise enjoys spending her free time with her husband and two daughters, swimming, snow skiing, watching movies, and attending the theatre.
