I am pleased to announce that Dr. Ryan Cook will be joining my dental practice beginning in June. Dr. Cook is completing his graduate studies and advanced training in prosthodontics and periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center. Ryan graduated from the USC School of Dentistry in 2005, and completed his undergraduate education at North Carolina State University where he was a member of the varsity track team.

Ryan is married to Jennifer, also a dentist, and they have a baby daughter, Bailey. The family is thrilled to be settling in Orange County, as they will be close to Jennifer's family.

My staff and I are delighted to welcome Ryan to our dental office. We know that his excellent skills - both personal and professional – will enhance the service that we provide to our patients and friends. Ryan and I will both be available on a full-time basis.

Many years ago, I joined my father’s practice as an associate and it was a richly rewarding experience. I hope and trust that Ryan and I will have the opportunity to experience an enriching and enjoyable practice experience together, and that this will in turn, provide an enhanced dental experience for our patients.
