Brandi Olson



Brandi has worked with Dr. Harper since 1999 when he started his practice here in Liberty. She took a 2 year leave of absence to go back to school only to realize that the orthodontic field is where she belongs! She states that she definately made the right decision! It doesn't get much better than this! She says that she has the best boss that anyone could ever dream of or ask for, plus an amazing group of ladies to work with! She has three lively boys: two boston terriers, and her wonderful husband Tyler! She enjoys playing golf in the spring and summer and mixes it up in the winter with zumba and cardio kickboxing. She says that everyday at Dr. Harper's office is a great memory; seeing the smiles on the patients' faces when they look in the mirror at their straight teeth is wonderful! Brandi considers herself a "professional orthodontic patient!" She has had both a Phase I and Phase II treatment as well as a couple of partial treatments over the past few years because she did not wear her retainers! She can really empathize with the patients! Christmas is her favorite holiday. Gathering with her family for a large feast and surprising the little ones with gifts is so much fun. She just loves to see their eyes light up!. She can't wait until this coming Christmas when they will be celebrating with three new members of the family: Chloey, Michael, and Lucas. They are three amazing children that her brother and sister-in-law adopted this year!




Beth Epperson



Beth has worked with Dr. Harper for 12 years. She states that it's really nice to work for someone who truly appreciates you and the work you do for them! Our staff is really close as well, which is very nice. She is very family-oriented and says that it is her whole life! She is 31 years old and has been married to her high school sweetheart Joe for 12 years. They have eight year old twins Joe-Joe and Lexi who love to play baseball, softball, and basketball. They have a one year old malteese named Keke and they are very close to their parents and siblings, all of whom reside in Kansas City. Some of her favorite memories at work include the cookie bake-offs, dressing up for the holidays, and Dr. Harpers' Christmas wish list! She also enjoys watching generations of family members come through the office as patients and building friendships with them over the years. She had braces as a child with full upper/lower treatment and removable retainers, and then again last year as an adult. She had treatment on her lower arch because she did not wear the retainers like she was supposed to when she was younger. Now, she has a permanent lower retainer! Her favorite holiday is Halloween, because she loves watching the kids' excitement as they go from house to house. She loves the costumes and the CANDY!!!
