I received my Associate’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from Rhodes State College in 2017 and also have a Local Anesthesia License. I joined Cochran Family Dentistry in 2019 and am excited to meet many of our patients and continue to provide the highest level of care possible! If I’m not in the office, you can find me walking my hyper chocolate lab or catching up on one of my various TV shows. My hobbies include hanging out with my family and friends, snow skiing in the winter, and boating and water skiing in the summer.

Melissa earned her Associates of Applied Science from Sinclair Community College. She’s been in dentistry for 29 years, twenty of which have been with our practice. She’s certified to monitor nitrous oxide, and to administer local anesthesia. Melissa enjoys swimming and walking, as well as doing things with her family and their dog.
