Meet the Doctor

Ryan C. Cowan, DDS

After receiving my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Texas Tech, I then proceeded to attend the Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, TX, where I earned my DDS in 2006. I have been providing the Hill County community with quality and attentive dental care since 2009.

I was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1978. I attended Lubbock Christian High School, graduating in 1997. I attended Texas Tech University, graduating in 2001. In June of 2002, I married my sweetheart, Kerista Harris. Kerista and I have two daughters, Ella and Kaitley. My family and I love to play golf together. I would describe myself as a technology geek – I love Apple computers and am always looking to add technology to my office or home.

I have always insisted that my patients be “treated like family” when they enter the doors of Cowan Family Dentistry. My staff has been praised for being friendly and courteous and is dedicated to making every trip to the dentist a pleasant one. The friendly atmosphere of our practice has put many patients at ease during a potentially anxious trip to the doctor. Because of this energy and compassion toward patients, we have become one of the Hillsboro community’s favorite dental practices.

In addition to prizing the way that my patients are treated, I also believe in practicing dental excellence at my Hill County practice. Patients will receive high-quality care through methods tested by dental professionals everywhere. By combining dental/periodontal care with practical patient education, I give my patients a smile that they can be proud of, and teach them exactly what they can do to maintain it.

In the interest of preserving the family-oriented environment of Cowan Family Dentistry, I’ve decided to extend my staff’s catalog of dental services to patients of all ages. From children age four, through folks that are already enjoying retirement, everyone in the Hill County area can enjoy a great checkup at Cowan Family Dentistry.

Outside of the dental practice, I enjoy time with a family of my own – a wife of over 12 years and two lovely daughters. As an active member of the Hillsboro community, I have served as the Chamber of Commerce Chair, President of the Hillsboro Rotary Club and am a Lions Club member. To relax in my down time, I will play a few rounds of golf or enjoy some classical music from my collection.

Meet Our Team

Tammy

Tammy has been in the dentistry field for 30 years, starting out as a dental assistant in 1986. Beginning her career at Dr. Mackey Morgan’s Waxahachie, TX dental practice, Tammy transitioned to the front office in 1999. In addition to helping patients with all of their dental needs, Tammy enjoys the relationships she has forged with the other staff members at Dr. Cowan’s practice and thinks fondly of the time they have spent together trying to make one another laugh. Tammy has a great sense of humor and is commonly called ‘that crazy woman.’

Tammy and her husband of 34 years, Wayne, are the proud parents of four children, and the proud grandparents of eleven. In addition to making new memories with her big family, Tammy enjoys other personal and social activities – she loves spending time with her church family from Waco and finding new treasures at antique stores. In her spare time, Tammy enjoys relaxing on her family’s small ranch, and loves spending time with the horses, cows, and all the other creatures that come along with country living.

Ashley

Ashley was born and raised in Waco, Texas. She instinctively knew from her first trip to the dentist that she was drawn to dentistry. She became a Registered Dental Hygienist at Texas State Technical College in Harlingen in 2004. Ashley feels that educating patients on maintaining their oral health is the most important part of her job, and she is fantastic at making her patients feel comfortable.

Ashley loves helping others both at work and in her free time, serving as a volunteer with Community Hospice of Texas. Today she resides in Cleburne with her husband, Matthew, and their adorable pugs. She enjoys traveling, cooking, and hanging out with friends and family.

Sheila

A Houston, TX native, Sheila moved to Central Texas at age 12. She attended Texas State Technical College Waco for her certificate in dental assistance and has been in dentistry for just over four years. Sheila loves every aspect of dentistry and has already been praised by her patients for being a “caring and compassionate” dental assistant. Dr. Cowan sees Sheila as one of the kindest and gentlest assistants that he has ever worked with.

Sheila truly loves caring for other people, which shows in the relationships she has formed with her valued patients. She currently lives with her husband and their two teenagers, Destiny and Chris. She loves cooking, spending time outdoors, working out, and rooting on her favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys.

Jacee

Jacee is originally from Center, Texas, and now lives in Hubbard. She completed her dental assistant training at Texas State Technical College in Waco and we were happy to welcome her to the Cowan Family Dentistry team in May of 2019.
