She is thoughtful but strong, enabling her to give instructions that children follow. Her softness and gentle nature is exhibited in her ability to treat children compassionately. Her friendly face and kindness is often welcomed by our child patients with excitement. She has the gift to be able to capture the attention of children and get them to listen. She takes pride in educating the children on importance of diet, drinks and proper care on teeth. Alison loves working with children and this is evident in the joy she spreads to them.
