Dr. Bobby Cox is a graduate of the University at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery, and subsequently completed his advanced specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry and Community Outreach at the Oishei Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, NY.
Although Dr. Bobby spent 6 years of his life in Buffalo, NY, he was born and raised on a farm in a small town in Michigan. Dr. Bobby has always had a passion for leadership, community service and care. He has held multiple leadership positions throughout his entire life including high school student-body President, dental school study-body Vice-President, and Chief Resident in residency. He participated in multiple community service programs throughout high school, undergrad, dental school, and residency.
With his mother being a nurse, he always had an interest in medicine and decided in high school that he wanted to pair his passion for serving others with his interest in medicine by becoming a dentist. While studying Biomedical Sciences at Western Michigan University, he discovered his love and passion for the pediatric population by attending a mission trip to Panama with a pediatric dentist where he aided in providing care to children in orphanages. Shortly after discovering this passion, he volunteered at St. Jude Children’s Hospital spending time with patients with terminal illnesses.
He is currently a member of the American Dental Association, Arizona Dental Association, Arizona Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
It is Dr. Bobby’s goal to motivate patients to take pride in their oral health. By introducing positive experiences for children, he aims to extinguish dental anxiety.
In his free time he enjoys spending time with his beautiful six year-old chocolate lab, named Cooper. He also enjoys off-roading in his Jeep, hiking, skiing and doing anything outdoors.
