Meet Our Team

Tami Gruber

Hygienist – Cochran Family Dental

My family and I relocated to Virginia from Texas and I joined Cochran Family Dental in April 2018.  I am grateful to be a part of Dr. Cochran’s team and take pride in providing the best possible quality of care to our patients.  I bring over 30 years’ experience as a dental professional, starting out first as an active duty military dental assistant.  I received my Dental Hygiene degree from Northern Virginia Community College and local anesthesia certification from Old Dominion University.

I am a member of the American Dental Hygienist’s Association and the Virginia Dental Hygienist’s Association.

When not at the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.  Other interest include crossfit and watching sports.

Lauren Rothgeb

Hygienist – Cochran Family Dental

I am a 2013 graduate from Allegany College of Maryland with an Associate’s degree in Applied Science/Dental Hygiene.  Before coming to Cochran Family Dental, I was a temp and have experience working in private practices all over northeastern Virginia and West Virginia.  I officially joined Cochran Family Dental in January 2018.  I absolutely love getting to know my patients and helping them feel comfortable coming to get their teeth cleaned.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Brian, for nine years.  Together we have two handsome boys, Landon and Barrett.  We are also expecting our third son in January 2019.  I enjoy spending time with my family, whether it’s at a baseball field, a lazy weekend at home or kayaking on the South Branch of the Potomac River.

Bethanne Karabin

Office/Hygienist – Cochran Family Dental

My career as a dental hygienist started over 34 years ago. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. One of the most rewarding aspects of my career are the patient relationships that are formed over the years.

Cochran Family Dental opened 4 years ago and I have been by Dr. Cochran’s side from the beginning. First as his dental hygienist and now as the office manager. From time to time you may see me in room 2 treating a hygiene patient since this has been my first love.

I have 4 children and 4 grandchildren, and I’m raising my oldest grandson. When I’m not in the office, I can be found at the ball field, hiking or selling popcorn with the Cub Scouts, behind the wheel teaching my youngest daughter to drive or redecorating my house.

Breanna Griggs

Dr. Cochran’s Dental Assistant

My name is Breanna and I am a full time dental assistant. I have felt welcomed as a family member ever since I’ve joined Dr. Cochran in April of 2018. Dentistry has always peaked my interest because my Mom was a dental assistant. One of the best feelings as an assistant is making patients feel comfortable about coming to the dentist. I love seeing their view about dentistry change in a positive way when they leave the office after a great appointment. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
