Newly Elected Presidents

After graduating from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, Dr. Duncan then served three years in the Navy. Dr. Duncan started her own practice in Antlers, Oklahoma in 1994.

"Being Eastern President will give me the opportunity to further expand my knowledge, to help new dentists, like my son and his classmates, and pave the way for the future of the ODA in our part of the state. I want it to be about dentistry, plain and simple, helping people achieve a beautiful smile, establishing a dental home, and making sure that EVERY person in this state has access to care" , Dr. Duncan said.

Sara Spurlock, DDS Central President

As the youngest of eight children, Dr. Spurlock learned the value of hard work, integrity, and loving others well. A big family with a variety of personalities offered her a unique perspective on human nature and an understanding that working together to achieve a common goal is much easier than doing it alone. Dr. Spurlock passionately believes in a life of service and commitment to her community, team, patients, and family. Dr. Spurlock is grateful to serve alongside her practice partner and best friend, Dr. Jennifer Jenkins. They are both excited for the opportunity to unite, connect, and create positive changes for the members of the Central District.
