Alison Foster, RDH - Hygienist
Alison started off with us about eight years ago as a chairside assistant. After a few years and some advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, Alison decided to go back to school full time to become a hygienist. She attended Foothill College in Los Altos and graduated in June 2004. Her experience in dental assisting helped her breeze through the patient portion of school and her love of dentistry allowed her to graduate with honors. Alison has a twin sister who also became a dental hygienist and from time to time you can see the two of them running around the town together. Her energy and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated at our office. Alison is our outdoor camper and she enjoys spending time with her fiancee, their boat and their dogs.
