Meet Dr. Sara Gholam Cox

“I have been working with kids since I was in my teens- I love the joy and optimism that children bring to each new day!”

Originally from Washington, D.C., Dr. Sara swapped the city skyline for the bucolic setting of Lancaster. She is a self-proclaimed foodie and has enjoyed exploring the growing culinary scene in Lancaster. In her former life, she was a music teacher and even had a flute studio where she taught children of all ages!

In her free time outside of Magnolia Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Sara loves taking her 2 year old son, Cooper, to outdoor music classes, library trips and swim lessons. She also loves exploring local parks with Cooper and her senior (but young at heart) chihuahua, Zoey.

Dr. Sara is a board certified pediatric dentist and serves as adjunct clinical faculty for the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Penn Dental Medicine. She is passionate about education and stays up to date with the latest techniques through continuing education courses and the Penn Alumni Pediatric Dentistry Virtual Study Club.

She is a published author in the peer-reviewed Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology.
