Dr. Sims spent the first 12 years of his career practicing dentistry in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and teaching for the largest provider of dental services in the world. After spending several years as Program Director for dentist education, he decided to slow down on traveling and focus on practicing dentistry and raising his two kids.

Dr. McCabe is originally from Louisville, Kentucky. She grew up there and attained both her undergraduate and dental degrees from the University of Louisville, graduating with honors. She went on to complete a General Dentistry residency with the U.S Army, gaining a broad array of specialty knowledge that has served her patients well in the private setting. Dr. McCabe spent five years on active duty as an Army Captain, spearheading numerous outreach and education programs, including a focus on children’s dental health and preventive care. During her time in the Army, Dr. McCabe enjoyed spending time with soldiers, helping them see the value of excellent dental care and encouraging them to take ownership of their dental health. 

“A lot can be done to help the patient see what can be achieved with comprehensive dental care,” says Dr. McCabe. “I also find it helps relieve a large majority of the anxiety many patients feel about going to the dentist, simply by explaining the treatment plan and being sure they understand every step of the process.” 

Dr. McCabe prides herself on treating every patient like a member of the family. Clarksville has become a second home to her, and she looks forward to developing many great relationships at Hillcrest Dental in the years to come.
