As a dentist, I am enjoying my return to my home town of Columbus, GA, and serving people from my own community. Its truly an honor to be providing gentle dental care that improves the oral health and smiles of my friends and neighbors.
Being a dentist means I can help bring about positive changes in the lives of my patients. Whether I am helping patients get ridof pain, restoring their ability to chew comfortably and effectively, or improving their smile, theyaregoing to be healthier and happier. I cannot imagine a more wonderful profession!
I followed my father, Dr. Henry L. Cook, Sr., into dentistry. Seeing the changes he was able to make for his patients, and the friendships that he developed with those in his care, wasan inspiration. Now I spend my days doing what I love: caring for wonderful people.
Continuing education (CE) is one of my passions. I love learning, broadening, and strengthening my skills and knowledge. With the constant changes in dental technologies and treatments, I must stay at the leadingedge. My patients trust me to provide them with up-to-date care, and CE ensures I am able to do so.
Through participation in meetings and lectures, along with hands-on demonstrations, I learn from the leaders in oral healthcare. Im active in several dental organizations and am president-elect for the Georgia Dental Society for 2015.
Family is my priority. Above all, I love motherhood. I am the proud parent of Jasmine Kiara,and Jordan Cook.I also have a lovely grandson named Caleb. Theater, soccer, basketball, track and field, and a host of other activities keep me busy throughout the year. Being with loved ones, talking and laughing together, is my favorite way to spend my hours away from the practice.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I enjoy making sure each patient is smiling during their visit. We offer a comfortable, welcoming environment and provide gentle care that improves their lives, one smile at a time. I manage our front office, process insurance, and handle referrals. I also monitor our daily schedule, so everything runs efficiently, and make sure each team member has what they need to deliver the highest level of care.
Im bilingual, in English and Spanish, and was born in Monterrey, Mexico. My husband and I have been married for 5years. We have a Iovely Two Daughters,Luna Kate and River Rose! I am a creative, Ilove cooking, jogging, and am also a professional wedding photographer.
I love working in an office where each patients comfort is the top priority. Our team goes the extra mile, always, and were rewarded with wonderful smiles in return. Each patient is important to us, and we make sure they know how much we appreciate them trusting us to care for their smile. I verify patients insurance benefits, and handle billing and payment matters, too. Im always available to answer questions, and love doing so.When Im not at work, spending quality time with family and friends is my priority. I alsolove traveling.
as it has not only helped me grow into the person I am today, but has also allowed me to meet and learn about new people each day. I welcome patients as they enter our office, answer telephone calls, verify insurance, and answer any and all questions our patients have. It is a pleasure to greet everyone who walks through our doors and see them leave with a smile knowing we have provided them with a great experience in our office. I was born and raised here in Columbus, Georgia, and I live here with my husband and our sweet pup. When I'm not working, I enjoy crafting, baking,reading, and being with family.
My specialty is working with people that deal with dental anxiety. I like to make patients feel calm and relaxed I'm very easy going and try to be as gentle as possible. I love caring for people and getting them excited about their smile.
I feel rewarded when I know Ive made a difference in a patients oral health. Dedication and hard work is a win-win for the patient and me. I love seeing healthy and amazing smiles, and work with our patients to make those happen. While Im cleaning teeth, treating periodontal disease, and placing sealants, I talk with patients about their dental health. I explain why its important to keep their mouth in great shape, and the best way to do that at home.
I love working at a practice where everyone on our team is dedicated to our patientscare, and making sure they have excellent oral health. Seeing happy and healthy smiles, and being part of making them happen, is rewarding. I love making patients feel comfortable during their visits. I take X-rays, assist Dr. Cook, and take impressions for dentures, too. My most important duty, though, is making sure our patients know they are welcome.
I really enjoy working at Cook Dental Care! The staff is so welcoming and cares about every patient. Im happy I can help people become confident with their smiles. I am a dental assistant, dental radiographer and a sterilization technician. I am also a treatment coordinator, welcoming and helping guide each patient through their first visit. I answer questions and try to keep everyone happy!
Growing up I was always self-conscious about my teeth, but I feared going to the dentist. When I graduated high school, I went to Dr. Cathy Cook for help and in two hours I could not quit smiling! I was so happy! Thats when I realized that I wanted to help others smile and feel their best! I attended Columbus Technical College and was accepted into the dental assisting program. I graduated fifteen months later as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. Im originally from Indiana. I like to play sports, skateboard, and joke around. Im the oldest of seven, soon to be eight. I thank God, family, and friends for helping me get to where I am today, right back at Cook Dental Care!
I am enjoying for the first time the experience of practicing dentistry as a civilian. I spent 26 years in the military treating mainly Active duty Soldiers. Even though I found that career to be very rewarding, I love being able to treat a wide range of patients from the very young to the seniors.
