Meet our Friendly Dental Team

Rhonda Asfour

Dental Assistant

Rhonda is originally from Texarkana, AR and has spent 26 years in the dental field so far. Meeting new people is one of her favorite parts of being a dental assistant! She studied at the James Bowie High School before pursuing a career in dentistry. Since her formal education, she went on to receive additional training in CPR and dental X-rays before joining Pleasant Grove Family Dentistry.

When she’s not working, she’s spending time with her two brothers, two sisters, and raising her daughter. She also enjoys yard work, being outside, and flipping houses with her husband. One interesting thing about her is she’s pretty handy with her tools (her co-workers even poke fun at her for always having tools in her car!)

Katie Cobb

Dental Assistant

Originally from Texarkana, Katie has been in the dental field for several years now and greatly enjoys connecting with new patients, catching up with existing ones, and working with an incredible group of people at Pleasant Grove Family Dentistry. For her, one of the most rewarding parts of being in the field is seeing newfound confidence in her patients and their bright smile after treatment is done. After attending Genoa Central High School, she enrolled into the Texarkana School of Dental Assisting in Little Rock. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and visiting new places with family and friends and having girls’ nights out with the PGFD team!

Jenee Clayton

Since graduating from Hope High School, she enrolled into Tyler Junior College and has received certification in skills like dental prophylaxis, scaling and root planing, head and neck oral cancer screenings, dental radiographs, and sealants. She’s been married to her high school sweetheart since 1997 and together they raise 3 kids. Her favorite hobbies include volunteering at her local church in the kid’s ministry, fitness, cooking, swimming, traveling, and yard work.

A Texarkana native, Tricia attended North Texas State University before completing the Caruth School of Dental Hygiene at Baylor Dental School.

Throughout the years, meeting patients and helping them get the absolute best dental care alongside a great group of people has continued to be her favorite aspect of her job. When she isn’t at our office, she enjoys hanging out with loved ones, cooking, reading, traveling, and spending time at the Caddo River.

Ashley Hemphill

Ashley was born and raised in Texas! Now, she is a certified medical billing coder with more than a decade of experience in the dental field. For her, our patients, her colleagues, and the encouraging environment are the best parts of her job.

Ashley comes from a tight-knit family of introverts (with the exception of her husband). Outside of dentistry, her interests include reading, enjoying the outdoors, completing continuing education, and taking family trips out of state each year. One thing you may not know about her is that she likes watching Korean TV shows and plans to visit one day!

Following her graduation from Ouachita Baptist University and Texas A&M University-Texarkana, she would eventually join the practice. To her, family time is the ultimate #1 and she cherishes every moment with her husband, Torin, their 14-month-old daughter Brynleigh, and their puppy, Bailey. She also enjoys relaxing at the beach, skiing, hunting, online shopping, and bonfires with friends! One interesting fact about her is her middle name Winnifred has been passed down for three generations.
