Sarah joined our team recently as a dental assistant. She assists Dr. Cobb with his sleep dental medicine practice. She has 6 years of dental experience and is a great addition to our team. Before jumping into the dental field she was studying culinary arts at Odessa College. Yum. She is from Monahans and we think she knows more people in Odessa than Stephanie.
