Tara A. Cochran, DMD

Born and raised in Albertville, Alabama, Dr. Cochran is excited to be back home practicing in the community surrounded by people who invested in her throughout her early life.

Upon graduation from Albertville High School in 2006, Dr. Cochran accepted a music scholarship to The University of Alabama. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2010, but she had her sights set on her childhood dream of becoming a dentist. She pursued her dreams and her education, and in 2017, Dr. Cochran graduated from The University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry.

After dental school she had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Allen Kirby and his team at Sand Mountain Dentistry as well as a few more dental clinics. She is happy to be back in Marshall County serving her community and carrying on Dr. Kirby’s legacy at The Kirby-Cochran Center for Dental Health.
