Hi, I’m Scotlyn and I relocated here from a small town in Georgia. I have three cats, who are my babies, Nikko, Sydney & Wednesday. I joined this wonderful practice in 2016, and I just love this field of dentistry. I am so excited about being part of such a professional, caring, and friendly team.I enjoy spending time with friends, and must confess I am a bit of a gym junkie.
Velvet
Hi I’m Velvet and I am fairly new to the world of dentistry and particularly Orthodontics. I graduated from the Foleck Center Dental Assisting program in April of 2021.Outside of working with an amazing team of women and 3 awesome doctors, you can find me curled up reading a good book, spending a lot of time with my sassy, diva 4 year old daughter, and cooking up new recipes. I am also into makeup and have a successful hair business that I do in my spare time. So, life is very full right now. I love to laugh, so you will usually find me cracking jokes in the office so others can laugh along with me.

Hilarie
Hello everyone! I recently started with Drs Savage, Sabol, & Visser in October of 2022. It has been a wonderful experience. I came with some orthodontic experience, but I quickly discovered my passion for this specialty. This team and doctors show up for their patients each and every day. I am enjoying being part of such a successful practice and making a difference in the life of my patients.I have been married to my husband for 10 years and I have two beautiful children, Joshua and Amelia. They all bring me such joy and I am blessed to have such an amazing family. I love to paint and my family and I often play board games which is so much fun. Hiking is also something I enjoy as I do love the outdoors and love Virginia Beach.
Gabi
My name is Gabi and I started with SSV in 2023. I formerly worked in retail but then had this amazing opportunity to change fields and begin a career in orthodontics. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have made so far, and love my bosses and all the team.I moved here in 2012 from California and so was lucky to find myself near another beach. It is very important to me as I love everything to do with sun and fun! I also love gardening and must admit I truly adore my furry kittens, Ember and Freya. They do make my life more enjoyable. My family lives here and so I am blessed to be able to spend time with them.
Meg
Hi! I’m Meg, I am new to the SSV team and orthodontics but not to dentistry! I did 5 years of general prior to coming to orthodontics & I’d have to say I definitely have found my niche. It is such a blessing to work for amazing doctors who treat you as if you’re family. I enjoy working with the team who have become friends that I hope to keep for a lifetime! My favorite part of my job is seeing people’s confidence after they get their new smiles!I am a navy brat born in Seattle Washington but consider Virginia Beach home. I’m a beach gal and couldn’t live without it. I am married with two dogs a German shepherd named, Apollo, and a labradoodle named, Wren. I am extremely outgoing and always on the move either hiking, going thrifting or playing with my fur babies but you could also find me binge reading a good book for hours.

Hi my name is Mil and I started with SSV June of 2023. I have been in Orthodontics since 2012 and absolutely love helping to create smiles which is my most favorite part of the job. This office is very community oriented and because of that I feel that I have joined a family who cares about its patients and staff.
I am married to my best friend and we share a sweet cat named Gotham Kitty. My hobbies include creating homemade cards and eating ice cream…is that a hobby? LOL! In the famous song by Taylor Swift “I dance in a storm in my best dress fearless!”
