So impressed with outcome of my son’s orthodontic work at CFO. Dr. Cohen is professional, practical, trustworthy, and detail oriented. His staff is the best too; so kind, thoughtful and personable! I’ll miss them when we’re done!
My son’s smile is incredible- complete strangers approach us regularly to comment on it’s perfection!

We were referred to Dr. Cohen by friends. From the moment I spoke to Laura on the phone to schedule the initial consultation appointment, I knew we were at the right place. I came in with a pretty hard request. I needed to use up all of my HSA because if not I was going to loose it! And the day I went in was the last day to submit.
Dr. Cohen and his team were so accommodating to me and my son! They got him started the same day!
And here we are 19 months later and we’re done!!! His smile is beautiful and he’s very happy with the results! The staff are very welcoming and the office is clean. 💜

The initial stretch of my treatment was easy, straightforward, and went exactly as planned. It wasn’t until the very end, where I felt that I was rushed out of my treatment, that major problems began to occur.
Immediately after having my braces taken off and being put in a retainer I started to experience severe and debilitating jaw pain (TMJ as I would later find out after consulting with an oral maxillofacial specialist). Eating became an arduous, almost impossible task to perform.
I reached out to Cohen countless times over the course of several months in an attempt to resolve the issue. Each time I was met with skepticism, not care. I was made to feel like an inconvenience… still I pressed on. Worst of all, he attempted to gaslight me into believing that my issue was not real, or not as big a problem as I made it out to be. Instead of taking responsibility, he also gaslit me into believing that I was grinding my teeth or clenching.
Every time I went into his office in an attempt to resolve this issue he would treat me coldly, then spend about two minutes looking in my mouth just to appease me. After about three months of pressing him he finally conceded to recast my clear, plastic retainer mold (the cheapest possible option), but refused to put me back in treatment to actually correct the issue. Without getting deep into the issue because I am not an expert, there was a slightly misaligned bottom tooth that impacted one of my front teeth making it difficult to close my mouth (particularly when standing vs. laying down, possibly due to postural changes). Another contributing factor could be the bulky, uncomfortable clear plastic retainer that made it impossible for my jaw to find a proper resting position.
It took seeing a maxillofacial surgeon to conclude that I was, in fact, not grinding my teeth. He also confirmed that posture and position can change jaw alignment/teeth contact. After about 6 months of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue with Cohen, I decided to stop wearing my retainer. Within two weeks my jaw pain resolved. It has since been one year and my jaw pain and TMJ symptoms have never returned.
TLDR: In the end, my treatment was a complete waste of time and money. When problems arose, Cohen was completely apathetic, even rude. I had to break my treatment (something I never wanted to do) in order to live a pain free life.
