We’re excited to welcome Dr. Alford to our practice! 

Dr. Alford will work alongside Dr. Stoner and our team to craft beautiful smiles for all of our patients.  He recently relocated from Ohio and brings a passion for orthodontics and patient-centered care. Dr. Alford is a board-certified orthodontist and also a member of the American Association of Orthodontics, a distinction achieved by fewer than half of practicing orthodontists nationwide.

Outside of the office, Dr. Alford and his wife Rachel enjoy playing sports and music together (Dr. Alford loves to play guitar), and spending time with their growing family, including 2 young boys and a dog. 

If you see him around the office, please feel free to say hello and introduce yourself – he’s looking forward to meeting you!

Meet Dr. Alford

Outside of the office, Dr. Alford and his wife Rachel — whom he met while they played collegiate tennis together — enjoy raising their growing family, playing sports and music together (Dr. Alford loves to play guitar), and spending time with their 2 young boys and dog. He brings the same care, patience, and attention to detail to his patients that he values in his own family.

 

To highlight a few things:

 

  • My wife, Rachel and I met playing tennis together on our college team
  • We love playing pickleball now with our two sons, who both got pickleball paddles for christmas
  • We are musical and love playing together as a family. My wife is a singer and I play piano and guitar. I was in a few bands in high school and college. But now I mostly play acoustic guitar. My favorite is a Martin D-28
  • We have a dog named Hazel (middle name is Nut – my kids are big Nutella fans) who joined our family in December. She is a golden-doodle.
  • I grew up in Dallas, Texas, however I lived in Taiwan for the the first 4 years of my life, moving there soon after I was born. 
  • After highschool I went to Southern Virginia University and then worked there for 1 year after graduating as a music recruiter and manager of the traveling a cappella group. I even sang in the group and did some beat boxing
  • I love hiking and grew up going to Zion every year. My great-great grandpa was the first superintendant of Zion National Park and built many of the trails, including the famous switchbacks leading to Angel’s Landing. That National Park is my happy place. 
  • My mom is from Canada so I am also a Canadian citizen. I have 3 siblings. One of my two brothers lives in Toronto. My other brother lives in Dallas and my sister is a lawyer in Reno, NV. My parents are still in Dallas, but I am trying to talk them into buying a beach house on the coast of NC.
