Meet Dr. Ellie

My name is Dr. Schemenauer, but you can call me Dr. Ellie! I am a mom, wife, Friendswood local, and follower of Jesus. As a board certified orthodontist, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of patients smile with confidence throughout my career and I can't wait to welcome our very first Howdy Orthodontics families.

Like many people, my own orthodontic journey as a teenager changed the way I viewed myself and inspired me to become an orthodontist. As I learned more, I realized orthodontics is about so much more than straight teeth. It's about creating healthy, functional smiles that improve confidence and last a lifetime. With my background in art, I love blending science, precision, and creativity to create smiles that are as healthy as they are beautiful.

My Promise To You

I believe great orthodontic care is about more than creating beautiful smiles. It's about creating relationships built on trust, honesty, and kindness. That's the practice I set out to build at Howdy Orthodontics.

It's about building relationships, earning your trust, and making every visit feel welcoming from the moment you walk through our doors.

My promise is to provide honest recommendations, exceptional care, and an experience that makes you feel right at home.

Can't wait to meet you!

– Dr. Ellie
