Ali Murphy, MDT, LDH, received both her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene and her Masters of Dental Therapy degree from the University of Minnesota. She joined the team at Apple Tree Dental in 2025.

Her passion for dentistry started when she worked at the front desk of a dental clinic in Minneapolis, and realized that she wanted to be more involved in patient care. She has always been passionate about working with people and advocating for the underserved. Ali's favorite part of the job is building trusting relationships with her patients. She loves seeing the same patients come back and witnessing their improvements in their home oral hygiene.

Ali has a particular interest in working with kids and older adults. She has done volunteering in the past with rural dentistry programs, Team Smile, and Give Kids A Smile, and wants to continue volunteering in Fergus Falls.

Outside of work, Ali loves spending time outdoors. She enjoys hiking the North Shore, going camping, and rollerblading.
