Dr. Cobb has a special interest in sexual wellness. She believes every woman should experience a balance between good physical health and sexual pleasure. Through education and shared decision making, she has empowered her patients to better understand their own sexual physiology in context of the influences of medical, physical, and psycho-societal factors on female sexual response in order to achieve their individual goals.
Dr. Cobb offered a unique nutrition and lifestyle based approach to gynecology and is both a certified Food For Life instructor and spokesperson in Arkansas for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
From her former clinical practice, to speaking engagements and charitable work, Dr. Cobb has become a trustworthy resource and ally for women of all ages. Her dedication to improving women’s overall health is palpable through her innovative approach to all that she does.
