From Rural Alberta to Kitchener: Dr. Alison Midgley’s 20 Years in Family Dentistry

A dentist’s career can take unexpected turns. Dr. Alison Midgley qualified in Toronto in 2006, spent time practising in rural Alberta, and returned to Ontario to build a family dental practice in Kitchener. In 2026, that adds up to 20 years in dentistry, and the details can be checked on the public register.

Walk In The Park Family Dental is the practice at 890 Glasgow Street in Kitchener where Dr. Midgley practises, and the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario register confirms the main steps of her career.

Key Takeaways

• Dr. Alison Midgley earned her dental degree from the University of Toronto in 2006 and was first registered in Ontario on 8 June 2006.
• Her current Ontario general certificate was issued in February 2010, and the register lists a current Alberta dental licence, which supports the practice’s account of time spent practising in rural Alberta.
• She is registered as a general dentist, with no specialty certificate.
• The practical next step: Kitchener families can check her record on the RCDSO register and ask the practice about booking.

A Toronto Education

The register shows that Dr. Midgley, registered as Alison Dianne Midgley under registration number 68421, graduated from the University of Toronto’s dental program in 2006. Her initial Ontario registration is dated June 2006. That date is the start of the 20 years of registration that her career now spans, and it matches the education history in the biography on the practice’s site.

The Alberta Chapter

According to the practice’s site, Dr. Midgley spent time practising in rural Alberta. The register offers outside support for that account. Her current Ontario general certificate was issued in February 2010, which leaves a gap in Ontario around 2009 and 2010 that is consistent with that account, and the register lists a current Alberta dental licence among her other licences. The register does not describe where in Alberta she worked or what her practice involved, and patients who are curious can ask her directly.

Rural practice often means a broad range of work, since the nearest specialist may be some distance away. Whether that was her experience is a question for Dr. Midgley, and it should not be assumed.

Back in Ontario

The register shows her current general certificate issued in February 2010, and her professional corporation, Alison Midgley Dentistry Professional Corporation, has held a Certificate of Authorization since September 2010. She now practises at Walk In The Park Family Dental in Kitchener, the practice that formerly operated under the Midgley Dental name.

What 20 Years Does and Does Not Mean

Two decades of registration show a career-long commitment to a profession that requires continuing responsibility to patients. They do not predict how a particular treatment will go, and they do not make any one patient’s care better or worse than another’s. Patients should still ask questions, review treatment plans and decide whether the practice fits their needs.

A Practice for Families

The practice’s site describes a family dental practice with ten service areas, including children’s dentistry. It also describes a baby oral health program run by Dr. Midgley. That description comes from the practice’s own site, so families interested in it can ask for details about what it involves and when to start.

The practice has two dentists, Dr. Midgley and Dr. Daniel Park, both registered as general dentists. Patients who need specialty care can ask the practice about referrals.
