North County Fire Protection urges residents to celebrate the holiday by attending professional displays instead of pur...

At a young age Clayton Cooke realized he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. His innate gift of empathizing with patients is likely due to his personal experiences in a dentist’s chair when he was a child. “It was terrifying,” Cooke said. “I remember how there were four nurses and each one was assigned to holding down an appendage of my body.” It was these experiences that spurred Cooke into becoming a provider of top-notch dentistry techniques and a relationship built on trust with each one of his patients.
