Our Staff - Cook Periodontics

Crystal is an UNCW alumna with a degree in Communication Studies and became part of the Cook Perio team in December 2012. Her primary role is making sure the operations of both locations run smoothly for patients and staff. She also serves as the liaison between our practice and referring offices while overseeing marketing efforts. Crystal's favorite part of her job is to coordinate office events and meetings for our study club. In her free time she loves to go to yard sales, attend concerts, and snuggle her adopted small pups, Pinto & Drax.

Michelle became part of the Cook Periodontics family in January 2018. Michelle is originally from Long Island, New York and made Wilmington her home in 2005. With over 20 years of medical and dental experience, Michelle's main focus is patient care -- which includes everything from the initial phone call to the healthy smile her patients receive after completing treatment with our doctors. With a laugh that is contagious, Michelle is well-known for keeping everyone smiling at the office. In her spare time she loves spending time with her husband, her 2 English Bulldogs (Darla and Buster), and traveling around North Carolina to watch her niece dance in competitions.

Having recently relocated from Richmond, Virginia, Danielle became a part of the Cook Periodontics team in July 2022. While in Richmond, she studied at Virginia Commonwealth University and dedicated over 10 years to the customer service industry. Her role is to ensure every patient feels unequivocally welcome, comfortable and confident within the practice throughout the duration of their visit. Danielle has always loved working with others and finds joy in bringing a smile to someone’s face. She loves spending time in the water, the gym and in the kitchen cooking for loved ones. Her two cats, Daisy and Bijou, are the lights of her life!

Sarah was previously a student of Art Education at UNCG but has come back to her roots here in Wilmington. She has become a part of the Cook Perio Team as of August 2022, and is eager to make the journey from diagnosis to scheduling treatment a smooth experience for everyone involved! Her main job is focusing on all the details involved in scheduling a surgery – from collecting and drafting forms to filing insurance claims and following up on patient care outside the practice – to allow the Doctors to treat patients with ease. Sarah is always ready to help with a smile on her face, even if her teeth are chattering from a slight breeze. In her free time, Sarah enjoys playing video games and making art, with a special passion for printmaking, as well as catch a few z’s on the couch with her Shi Tzu Abby.
