Chastity
Orthodontic Assistant
Having moved to West Virginia to be closer to her husband Doug’s family, Chastity originally hails from Tennessee (go Vols!) and still loves to visit there to see her family and friends. “The thing I love most about our office is that when you walk through the doors you’re welcomed by family. Our doctors are kind, patient, and have a strong love and dedication to not only the patients but also to employees. Our patients are BEAUTIFUL and I love to see how much more confident they become with each visit. I especially love working in orthodontics because I love helping other people love their smiles.”
In her spare time, when she is not visiting her family back home, she likes to spend time with her husband, their 2 sons Fletcher and Asher, two cats, one dog, and her snake. “I’ve always wanted a big family; although we thrive in chaos, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My family is what matters to me the most... besides my Tennessee Volunteers!”
Sandi
Financial Coordinator
“I first met Dr. Panucci several years ago when my boys needed braces. I was so impressed with the way the entire team made us all feel special and important. I knew then that this office was the best around! Having worked here for several years now for Dr. Panucci and Dr. Jackfert, my original feelings were confirmed. This is an amazing team of professional, caring women who gave us all beautiful smiles and treated us like family!” states Sandi with a smile.
Away from the office, Sandi and her husband are enjoying their empty nest. They are traveling and trying new restaurants. One of Sandi’s greatest joys, aside from her beautiful family, involves her passion for serving the Lord. A very active member of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Teays Valley, Sandi serves in the Backpack Buddies Ministry and facilitates an adult small group bible study.

Becky describes her teammates as “incredible.” “I can’t say enough about Dr. Panucci, Dr. Jackfert, and our entire team. It’s not just about creating beautiful, healthy smiles at our office… it is also about having a positive impact and relationship with each patient individually. My husband, Greg, and I were both patients of Dr. Panucci’s several years ago, so we know firsthand what an amazing person as well as an extraordinary orthodontist she is.”
Both Becky and her husband are very involved at Elkview Baptist Church. Becky enjoys riding her motorcycle and participating in charity events.
