Champaign & Mahomet, IL’s Favorite Orthodontics Office For Braces & Invisalign
Amber Shinker
Financial Coordinator
I started creating beautiful smiles over eight years ago as an assistant for Orthodontist, Dr. Shafer. Now, as the Financial Coordinator, I can answer any questions about your insurance, help you work out a payment arrangement, and keep you up-to-date on happenings in the office. Being the best part of the patient’s day is what makes me love coming to work and being with the Shafer Smiles Orthodontics Team. When not creating beautiful smiles, I love spending time with my husband and two girls.

Observation Coordinator
As the observations coordinator, I see of our all patients that aren’t quite ready for orthodontic treatment. Since we only see these patients a couple times a year we have a pretty awesome kids club that I take care of. I love trying to make visiting our orthodontic office fun and something they can look forward to. I enjoy shopping, sports and most outdoor activities, buy my favorite down time is hanging out with my friends and family and helping out on our family farm.

Although I am one of the newest faces to join Shafer Smiles; I have been in the medical field for six years, which includes oral surgery. My fun spirit brings fun and laughter to the office. The greatest part of my job is getting to meet new people and seeing the outcome of our patients. I love spending time with my son Tucker and husband Jake, along with many other friends and family.
