Katie Bean is a lifelong entrepreneur who believes anything is possible when you trust your instincts, surround yourself with like-minded people, and always go one step further than what is expected. Though she has started businesses in varying sectors (fashion, food, travel) they all share a common element of extraordinary customer service and a desire to truly understand the client and exceed expectations.

Through her work at Katie Bean Travels, she fuels that passion by building relationships with clients and partners around the world to create meaningful journeys that help travelers connect with the people they’re with, the places they visit, and ultimately, themselves.

As an employer, she strives to lead, inspire and mentor her team members to reach their fullest potential both as people and as travel concierges — working together to execute her relentless pursuit of perfection.

All aspects of her life are underpinned with an unending positivity, a fearless nature to grow and improve, and a never accept “no” attitude.

Dr. Elizabeta Cokovska is more than a prosthodontist...she is a visionary, a healer, and a master of her craft with a story as extraordinary as the work she does. Her journey began in Europe, where she had already built a respected career as a
prosthodontist. She moved to the United States with only two suitcases, a sacred icon, and an unshakable belief in her purpose.

Her path led her to one of the most prestigious dental schools in the world: Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where she was accepted and recredentialed as a specialist in prosthodontics in the U.S.

That same commitment to excellence is the foundation of Makris Dental Prosthodontics — the elite, state-of-the-art clinic she personally designed and built in the heart of Lake Nona Medical City, Florida’s innovation hub for medical excellence. Every element of the space reflects her aesthetic and values: sophisticated, calming, precise, and deeply patient-centered. It is not just a dental clinic, it is a sanctuary where art, science, and compassion come together.

With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Cokovska is widely recognized for handling the kinds of complex dental cases others turn away. From full-mouth reconstructions to intricate implant placements and highly aesthetic restorations, she sees the full picture when others only see problems. Her mastery lies not only in her technical precision, but in her ability to restore confidence, function, and quality of life.

Her patients describe her as meticulous, intuitive, and deeply caring. She listens without rushing, plans without compromise, and treats every case as a unique collaboration between doctor and patient. For Dr. Cokovska, prosthodontics is not just a profession, it is a calling to change lives through artistry, science, and heart.

Dr. Elizabeta Cokovska’s life is proof that strength, elegance, and excellence can exist together and that with the right hands and heart, a smile can change everything.🔥
