“I grew up in Oklahoma, as did my wife Casey. I originally came to Searcy to study at Harding and play baseball while preparing for medical school. However, I decided that the small working environment in dentistry fit me better than hospitals.”

After earning a chemistry degree at Harding, I went to Oklahoma University Medical Center for a doctorate degree in dentistry. I currently maintain professional associations with the American Dental Association, Arkansas State Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry, to which I earned recognition as a Fellow beginning in 2007.

“Dr. Jared Cox is a captivating storyteller who draws on his experience as a pilot, dentist, and self-proclaimed perfectionist. Rooted in faith, his stories entertain and bring light to the world, encouraging authenticity, courage, and compassion for us all.”

Outside of the dental office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 children. I have had the pleasure of coaching little league baseball for many years, and I often think I am as comfortable at the ballpark as I am in my own home. I am an active member in my church, a member of Harding University’s President’s Council, and sponsor for the American Studies Institute. I have served on the Board of Directors for Camp Wyldewood, a local Christian youth camp, since 2003. I love chocolate like no dentist you have ever met, I am fascinated by aviation, and I watch Sooners football as if I am part of the team. I enjoy writing, podcasting, and public speaking.

“I moved to Searcy at the age of 3 and have always felt at home here. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from Harding University, I pursued my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the UTHSC College of Dentistry in Memphis.”
