Dr. Tabita (Tabi) Hooper is originally from Braila, Romania. She came to Hammond, Louisiana in 2010 as an International Student. Dr. Hooper received her Bachelor's degree in Integrative Biology with French and Chemistry Minors from Southeastern Louisiana University. She worked as an orthodontist assistant for two years before pursuing her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from Louisiana State University. Dr. Hooper's love for dentistry started when she was just 10 years old as she was translating and assisting for ServingHim missionary teams in her hometown. Being exposed to excellent dentistry and amazing patient care from the American teams, she learned that there was a better way of treating patients than she knew so far. By the age of 10 she had already experienced poor dental outcomes for herself, her immediate family, and even the premature loss of her aunt due to dental neglect. A new dream was born: she wanted to become not just a dentist, but the best dentist she could be in order to help make a difference. This dream led her to Hammond years later, despite people doubting her, and despite her family's poor socioeconomic status. Faith and hard work together helped her fulfill her dream. She now gets to change lives, one smile at a time. Dr. Hooper is married to her best friend and love of her life, Kale Hooper, a chemical engineer from Michigan. Hammond became their new home where they are raising their family, Christian and Claire. Dr. Hooper loves spending time with her family, their Golden Retriever (Teddy), and enjoying nature. She also loves to travel, getting to see new places and being exposed to new cultures. Dr. Hooper is dedicated to continual improvement. She is part of several study groups.
