5 /5 M Pam (JustMyOpinion): Dr Cohen reminds me of how dentist offices used to be run. ONE dentist (so you always get the same person, who gets to know the issues specific to your teeth), who takes the time to get the job done right.
I had called about 6 weeks ago with a broken tooth that was causing a lot of pain. She was still catching up on her clients who didnt come in during COVID so the receptionist suggested a place that could stabilize the tooth and we made a follow up appointment for Dr Cohen to assess the tooth for treatment.
My last dentists had convinced me to have the tooth in front of this one pulled because they said my insurance wouldnt cover a root canal because it was a back tooth and i couldnt afford the RC out of pocket. Dr Cohen managed to get the same insurance company to cover the root canal for this tooth. That right there showed me she put in the effort to ensure that the request was done right. (That same large, multi doctor office also screwed up a request for my father to get fitted for dentures).
I had the root canal done yesterday. She took her time to clear the calcified channels and Im now booked to be fitted for the crown. This appointment took 2.5hrs. She didnt rush and made sure everything was done right and showed me the x-rays. Also, in spite of her telling me I might have pain for a few days because the work intruded on the sinus cavity, I only have very mild discomfort. BONUS.
While I was being worked on Dr Cohen had an emergency call and put the person in after her last client...meaning she would likely be in the office until at least 8pm. Good luck with that treatment in your corporate dental practices!
Dr Cohen may not be for everyone. If you want to have 20 dentists waiting to see you for every little thing (as long as it is between 9 and 5 on a weekday), then go to a large office. If you want someone who will take the time to do things right and who will fit you in as fast as possible when you REALLY need help, call Dr Cohen.
Oh - also Dr Cohen *double masks* while working on you. With COVID, and the fact that your mouth is gaping open for quite awhile when being worked on, I find it very questionable when the dentist wears an ill fitting surgical mask (as happened where I got the tooth stabilized). That right there sold me on day one. I appreciate that shes looking after us BOTH even tho its not fun to work for hours with a double mask.
