Dr. Cohen’s patients have excellent things to say about him and his team of professionals, one patient stating “I’d like to thank Dr. Cohen and his team for being so gracious and helpful during my treatment. I’ve been painfully self-conscious about my smile my whole life, I’ve pretty much mastered the closed-mouth smile in photos, and could not wait to start orthodontic treatment to close the gaps in my teeth. I can’t thank you enough for making this whole experience a flawless one.”

Dr. Cohen received his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree from McGill University in 2010. During that time, he earned numerous awards recognizing his academic and clinical achievements.
