Eric J Cohen, DDS

I had been having pain for about a week, i had a hole in the top of my mouth, i was kinda scared that id have to have an oral surgery done. I have Medical assistance so as far as dental they only cover basic. I waa told they work with me.
Called on friday, they had an appt that day, i however waited till monday, went in, he lookes told me it was pieces of a broken tooth. He numbed me up very well and got the tooth out. Didnt feel a thing!
My bill was a lot less than i expected, gave me pain meds and antibiotics. I will def be back!!!

I have gone to Dr Cohen for years. He’s the kind of dentist that «if it aint broke dont fix it». Too often dentists in brand new sparkling offices try to upsell everything. Dr Cohen is not like this at all. He only fixes what you need done. The staff is extremely friendly and it makes going to the dentist very easy!

I went to this guy and he had me wait for my first appointment about 25 minutes or so. The follow up appointment I came 10 minutes late, thinking it would reduce my wait, and he said I was too late and the appointment was cancelled! This was annoying, but not a huge deal, a drop of a star.
He seemed to be pretty rough when cleaning my teeth, much more than my previous dentist. No use making a dentist appointment worse than it is. Second star drop.
Finally, I went in to get a molar tooth pulled. He was all ready to pull it, and then said he had a hurt hand and wasn’t feeling up to doing the surgery. Ok, I appreciate the honesty, but why couldn’t he have told me before I took off work and showed up? There goes another star.
Bottom line, I am looking for another dentist.

I should start this review off by confessing that I’ve been very bad and have been putting off going to the dentist for years. After way too much stalling I finally made an appointment with Dr. Cohen for a check-​up and cleaning. Thing started off well when I had to reschedule my appointment because of schedule changes at work. The office staff was very accommodating about changing my appointment and finding one that was convenient for me.
Once I arrived it was the typical new patient experience at every medical office. Fill out a history form and an insurance form, take a seat, read boring old magazines that are sitting on the table. My appointment was at 2:00 and I was called back at around 2:25. Not great but I understand that appointment times can’t always be exact.
Dr. Cohen himself seemed like a really nice guy and I’m thankful that he didn’t give me any grief for putting off a dental appointment for so long. I had a sense that he’s an old-​time Baltimorean and during the exam he was talking about random bits of local history. I kind of appreciated that since it gave me something to take my mind off the digging & scraping in my mouth. My teeth were fine so I can’t comment on how good he is at fixing problems but for routine care I’d definitely recommend him.
