Cohen, DDS, as a hygienist. She assumed the office manager position in 1994, responsible for coordinating all aspects of our dental practice. She particularly enjoys working with our patients and feels they are extended family.  Myrna and Dr. Cohen have been married for over 30 years.

Now that their son has moved into his college years, Myrna is spending more time in her crafting activities. She loves scrapbooking and is admired for her jewelry and paper crafting projects. We love seeing what she comes up with next!

DIANE SMITH

An Atlanta native, Diane has enjoyed being in Memphis since 1998. A Dental Office Manager for over 20 years, she brings broad experience as our Front Office Administrator. She loves serving our wonderful patients alongside our terrific team and believes creating a harmonious “Daytime Home” helps form trust and loyalty within our team that extends to our patients. 

Organization, efficiency and optimism are some of the gifts she uses each day in supporting our team and the guests she welcomes into our office.

On weekends you’ll find Diane & her husband, Mack, walking Hyde Lake, the Greenline or hitting the gym. Loving the outdoors, sun and water makes gardening and the pool some of her favorites.

Worship and her gal’s Bible Study are her top priorities.

Jeannine hails from New York, although she’s been in the south so long that we claim her.  she has over 20 years of experience in dentistry.  Beginning as a dental assistant in Endodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and TMJ treatment, she returned home to gain her dental hygiene degree.

Her passion for helping others gain oral health shows in all she does.  Expect to find her most days seeing loyal long-time patients for preventive care, fabricating occlusal guards and splints or tracking implant case status.

Patients appreciate her expertise in occlusion and clarity communicating their dental needs.  We love her versatility in filling so many practice needs during the day.  When not in the office, Jeannine enjoys projects at home, reading great books and helping neighbors.  She gets to the beach as often as possible!
