Hi I'm Alison! Im the clinical coordinator here at Kahan Orthodontics. I love this role because it allows me to continue to talk, laugh, and continue to build relationships with our patients and families, but also allows me to utilize my leadership skills and keep the clinic running smoothly. I've been a orthodontic assistant for 5 years now and couldn't imagine myself doing anything else! I have had braces...a few times, so I love being able to relate and understand our patients. It's truly a wonderful feeling watching someone's confidence and self- esteem change as they achieve a perfect smile.
