Meet Our Team

Karen has more than thirty years of experience as a registered dental hygienist. She has worked in the greater Newburgh area for her entire career. She began her dental career with Dr. McGuire in 1986 and continued there for 17 years. It was in 2002 that Karen began working for Dr. Cook. Karen has completed many hours of continuing education classes including training for Invisalign and Zoom Whitening. She also has clinical experience working in the orthodontic field as well as training in pediatric dentistry.

Karen enjoys visiting her daughter and son-in-law in Maryland and her son who is currently living in Texas. Karen continues to be actively involved in her children’s former high school where she is currently the treasurer of the Valley Central Scholarship Council.

Madeline is a highly trained dental assistant, who stays current with continuing dental education and dental materials.  She has been in the dental field in the greater Newburgh community for over thirty years, twenty-two of those years she has spent working chairside with Dr. Cook.  Madeline has been part of Dr. Cook’s Dental Team since Dr. Cook opened her office in 2002. What Maddy (as many of our patients and Dr. Cook know her as) likes most about the dental profession is seeing how changing a patient’s smile can transform their life.

As dedicated as Madeline is to her work, she is devoted to her family. She has two daughters and a son that enrich her life every day.

Natasha joined Dr. Gina Prokosch-Cook’s practice in 2010 and is truly thankful for having found a great team to work with every day.  Natasha’s goal is to make her patients feel at ease by building trust and confidence with each patient. She stays current in the latest practices in the dental field attending continuing education lectures and maintains a CPR certification.

When she is not at the office, Natasha enjoys spending time with her family and friends as well as volunteering for Grace Community Church.
