In 1988, Dr. Cook received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina. After receiving her DMD, Dr. Cook practiced as an associate for a pediatric dentist in Greenville, South Carolina.

In 1990, Dr. Cook and her husband, David, relocated to Houston, Texas. After receiving her Texas dental license, she practiced as an associate in the Sugar Land area.

Four years later, Dr. Cook designed and built a state-of-the-art office building located just across the street. In July 1997, she moved into her new dental office. In 2008, she expanded this dental building to include an orthodontic bay and additional treatment rooms.

Dr. Cook's dental education did not stop when she graduated from dental school. Every year, she updates and expands her knowledge and skillset through extensive and targeted continuing education. Dr. Cook has distinguished herself among her colleagues in her commitment to continuing education.
