Administrative

At the heart of every great practice is someone who works behind the scenes to manage every aspect of its operation. At Lindner Dental, that person is Ellen Harrington. While her official title is Practice Coordinator, she wears many hats, including organizer, educator, listener, mentor and leader. She has been at the helm of the practice’s administration since 1987, responsible for project management, leadership development, strategic planning and dental health education.

Ellen knows the practice inside and out, making her an invaluable member of the Lindner Dental family. While she effortlessly keeps everything running smoothly, she’s also drawing from her clinical background in dentistry and business management training to help patients with any questions or concerns they may have during the course of treatment.

A fan of walking outdoors, spending time at the NH and Maine coasts, yoga, and reading, Ellen enjoys spending time with her children, grandchildren, extended family and friends.

Ellen is a member of Sigma Phi Alpha Dental Hygiene National Honor Society, the American Association of Dental Office Managers and a member of the Advisory Board for health, science and technology for the Manchester School of Technology. She received an associate degree in dental hygiene from Bristol Community College and a bachelor’s degree in small business management from Southern NH University.

Laurie Wallace, Lindner Dental Associates Marketing Coordinator, brings a creative and friendly energy into the practice.

She graduated from Syracuse University with an advertising degree and has worked at several agencies in Boston, New York and Denver. Finding her home with Lindner Dental in 2018, she has been able to combine her creative advertising and marketing knowledge with her love of event planning.

When Laurie isn’t developing new marketing campaigns or re-decorating the office, you can find her running outdoors, hiking in the White Mountains, or spending time on the Cape with her dog and close-knit family.

Lindner Dental Associates Pediatric Department Manager, Stacy Chandonnet not only makes an art out of multitasking, but she makes it fun.

She also acts as a liaison between the parents of our patients and the doctors treating their children. 

Stacy and her husband love to travel and can often be found on a cruise ship when vacationing. She also enjoys her summers camping, walking her dog, Bailey, and spending as much time as possible with her family.

Renee is our Orthodontic Department Manager as well as a Certified Orthodontic Assistant. She has been a part of the Lindner Dental family for almost 25 years.

When Renee is not in the clinic, where she spends most of her day, she is behind the scenes creating schedules, training new team members and collaborating with other department managers to ensure a positive patient experience.

In her free time, Renee is usually on the college sidelines cheering on her two daughters playing soccer and rugby. She can also be found exploring the great outdoors with her husband and two golden retrievers.
