I have spent my whole life in Hot Springs. I have been married for 32 years and have 2 grown, beautiful daughters. I graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1980 in the same class as Dr. Alford. In 1988, when he began his dental practice, I was hired as his office manager. I know our patients, and in some cases, that means three generations of families we have served. In 1988, Dr. Alford bought an electric typewriter. We have since gone through three dental software programs and currently have a dozen computers, which I maintain."
