Meet Dr. Tunison

 
Dr. Tunison graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from the University at Buffalo. She  was accepted in the dental school's early admission program.
At the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, she participated in frequent volunteering internships at the local children's hospital and visited other children's dentistry programs in New York City during her summers including Maimonides in Brooklyn.
 
Dr. Tunison then graduated cum laude with her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Buffalo in 2008. While in dental school she was awarded the Tucker Scholarship and the Clinical Achievement Scholarship.
After dental school she stayed in Buffalo for her two year pediatric residency program at the Children's Hospital of Buffalo (now renamed Oishei Children's Hospital).  She then became a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
 
Dr. Tunison grew up in Elmira, NY, working with children at a young age herself. She participated in mentor programs for children in Elmira, NY (Pal program) and then Buffalo, NY (Big Brother Big Sister) during college and professional school. 
She chose dentistry as a career because she loves studying medicine, art, and caring for children's teeth!
Locally she has spent time serving on the UHS hemophilia team, Broome County Dental Society, Sixth District Dental Society, NYSDA, the health advisory committee for family enrichment, and previously served as the chair for Children's Dental Health Month.
 
Currently Dr. Tunison likes spending her time away from the office with her husband Drew and son's Crosby and Thurman.  You will probably run into her on the soccer field, lacrosse field, and basketball court cheering for Crosby's teams!  Thurman is only 2 now so he is practicing and getting ready on the sidelines.  He also loves to sing, dance, and read with his mama.
She also still loves to make time for dancing, cooking, baking, reading historical fiction, and spending time with friends.  She looks forward to getting to know you and your families.
