Robert L Cohen, DDS

I am extremely satisfied in EVERY WAY with the excellent service, friendliness, «professionality», honesty, and advice given. As a client of The Good Dr. Cohen and his absolutely fantastic staffers for many, MANY years (since 1991), I can’t think of a way that I could be more pleased! And I am truly grateful for that!!!
As ALWAYS, I have the absolute highest regard for Dr. Cohen, as well as his highly respected staff! I couldn’t possibly ask for better during my quarterly appointments, of which I never miss! My only (minimal) complaint: I was charged $ 60 for an annual examination by the Good and Wise Dr. Cohen. According to my calculations, that averages out to about $ 10 for every minute he spent on my case. In all fairness to him, I’m assuming this is a standard charge for the time of a true medical professional in ANY medical field. I just feel it’s a bit much. However, I will not dispute the charge because he (and the ENTIRE staff) are worth it to me!
As is typical and expected, my visit to Dr. Cohen’s office for a prophylaxis («PM3” – deep cleaning) by Eileen was no less than fantastic! Eileen is very friendly and open; a marvelous human being! She is also VERY professional and no less knowledgeable. She is quite capable of answering any dental-​related queries I, or you, may have. And Casey, at the front desk, is a pleasure with whom to do business – also very friendly! Thanks to you both! And many thanks to Dr. Cohen and his ENTIRE wonderful team of professionals!

My mom met Dr. Cohen at a PTA meeting at my middle school ten years ago and ever since then my family and I have seen Dr. Cohen as a dentist, and also around the neighborhood at local events. He has even come out to my mom”s stand up comedy shows.
Dr. Cohen is a kind, funny, and chatty dentist who truly cares about the community and his patients. As a valley girl, I like supporting a local business, especially one where the businessman supports the community back.
I have been seeing Dr. Cohen for both routine dental care and also for Invisalign for the past couple of years. He has been so helpful at helping me pick the best options for me and not just whatever costs the most. He truly cares about the well being of his patients.
Casey at the front desk is also so helpful and kind. She helps with me when my insurance changes (which has happened a lot recently) and with CareCredit for an expensive purchase like Invisalign.
I recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone who would like a dentist that treats you like neighbor. At my visits, I always feel very comfortable and more like a friend going over for a chat than a patient visiting an office. The experience is never clinical, and always personal while still being professional. His office is located in an adorable Spanish style building which just adds to it’s local Southern California vibe.

Been going to Dr. Rob since ’97 /​‘98ish & I moved about 45 miles away in 2008 & I still go to Dr. Rob as do my son & Ex wife who lives in Massachusetts! Well worth the drive for me.

Doctor Cohen has been very helpful and welcoming. He has an old school feel and uses new and efficient technology. The office has very good vibes and I loved the warm attitudes from everyone including his staff. Dr. Cohen’s office is very clean and sanitary too. He kindly recommends the treatment you need and supports your decision. If you’re looking for an amazing dentist, Dr Cohen is the dentist to go to! I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!

Best dentist around! Caring, thorough, knowledgeable and responsive. State of the art and pristene facility. Wonderful staff including the office, dental assistants and hygienists. They take good care of me, and that’s what it’s all about!

Dr. Cohen and his staff are just fantastic!
Upon moving to LA, we were looking for a new dentist. I went to several around town based on Unilocal reviews, even though some of the reviews were iffy, I thought I would go check them out. None of them I were all too impressed with and it was hard to feel like they were completely trustworthy or were doing detailed cleaning.
One of our friends referred us to Dr. Cohen and mentioned that his receptionist, Casey, was great too. So we decided to give them a shot, and they became our dental office for the next few years!
Dr. Cohen has a nice office– sofa and TV in the waiting room with magazines and some tea and coffee. You never have to wait very long before they take you in.
Everyone on the staff is kind and helpful. They are gentle on your teeth when doing cleanings, but you can tell they are thorough, and they answer whatever questions you may have. They have TVs in front of the chairs and they give you the remote so you can change it to whatever channel you want.
Dr. Cohen himself is sweet. It’s clear he cares about you as a patient and a person. When I was talking with him about the need for a mouthguard due to clenching at night, he expressed his concern that it was due to stress, and really showed that he wanted me to be able to relax more and take things in stride as to avoid becoming over stressed and therefore it being held in my jaw. He seemed like a father figure type but did not come across as presumptuous or assuming. When I needed to get my wisdom teeth out, he recommended me to an oral surgeon because even though he could perform the surgery, in my case he felt more comfortable having an oral surgeon perform— so it goes to show that he puts quality of care before money for himself. He’s soft spoken, so he has a relaxing voice, but he’s also a funny guy too so he keeps you at ease. The office works with you and your insurance so you can afford to get done what you need without breaking the bank. They are very great about showing you that they care and aren’t just running a business, but want you to be able to get the work you need.
Casey at the front desk is also very sweet and was always fun to chat with when checking out. She’s down to earth but also gets the job done and you always feel like you are chit chatting with a friend.
In general, aside from my dentist I had while growing up, he was the best dentist I had and it will be hard to replace him and his team now that we have moved!

What a great place! I had some crowns redone and Dr. Cohen did a fantastic job! He is very upfront and a cool dude at that haha. I never felt like he was trying to squeeze money out of me. He told me what we could do to give me a better smile (being an actor it is very important) and was never pushy with any of my options.
Great place! Great guy! Great work!

Very nice guy and very thorough. Takes his time with you and is very knowledgable. His office is really nice and comfortable inside. Good people working here. Hard to find that in LA. Appreciate all the help, thank you :) I’m very grateful.

Absolutely the best dentist in all of LA! I used to be a very nervous patient before meeting Dr. Cohen. His warm demeanor put me at ease. His expertise kept me coming back to fix my dental problems. The entire staff is friendly and knowledgable.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Cohen for many years and I count my lucky stars that he is my dentist. Dr. Cohen is a true professional in his field and uses the latest information and technology to diagnose, treat and repair dental issues. Laura, Casey and the rest of the staff are always very friendly and make any visit a positive one. There really aren’t enough superlatives that I can use to describe the office and Dr. Cohen.

A short while back I visited Dr. Cohen for the first time. I recently moved back to LA and was looking for a dentist. I found him on Unilocal,read the reviews and decided to go. Great experience and he does nice work! His staff is friendly and professional and so is Dr. Cohen. He uses a very cool innovation with a camera to take photos of my teeth which we can then view on a monitor. I haven’t seem this before and it really helps a lot with assessing issues and with communicating about solutions. He’s very much into the art and science of dentistry and cosmetic dentistry as well. Very forward thinking. When he works you have am option to listen to an iPod mini with lots of music on it and «the flag» is a very interesting approach for communication. You have to go to know what I mean. I have another appointment soon and it was nice that Casey called me up to remind me of the date and time and they also sent me an email reminder about my upcoming appointment. There is parking in the back. If you are driving towards Ventura from Magnolia, etc the office is on your right. Make an immediate right to park in the back.

Yesterday was my second visit to Dr. Cohen’s office. I wanted to wait to write my review until I had my first cleaning so I could give a more comprehensive review. I know finding a good dentist is super difficult! But fear not, you have come to the right place.
First off, let me preface this with saying I was referred to him and I was so happy that I was! He has to be one of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met, and he makes me feel so comfortable. After going to the same dentist for years who has traumatized me to the point where I am in constant tension at dentist offices, Dr. Cohen and his staff are helping me feel at ease with someone working on my chompers.
Upon first visit, Dr. Cohen spent I think 45 minutes or so with me just explaining to me how our teeth function and move within the mouth. He asked me about my goals and things that concern me, and he answered all my questions. He never pushed me into any procedures or told me how I needed «this and that» like my previous dentist. yeah previous one was a real bastard. Oops! For example, at my old dentist, I was told I might need a root canal and my teeth filed and at least three fillings. Must be nice to drive a Mercedes knowing when you want that added «SPORT PACKAGE» all you have to do is tell your patients they need more work. But, with Dr. Cohen, this was so not the case. He really put me at ease and all of the issues at my previous dentists office were not issues at all! Not only did I not need any of those things, but I left my first visit (consultation) feeling pretty confident about my teeth, smile and how I care for them.
Apparently my old dentist was so out of the loop on proper and updated procedures, that when Dr. Cohen’s staff had me do a bunch of photos of my mouth and X-​rays, I thought it even comical! I had no idea a dentist could be so thorough. I loved it! He really gets to know every nook and cranny of your mouth.
As far as my cleaning went, it went swimmginly. The hygienist who did my cleaning was so sweet, nice and easy to talk to. It was like talking to my friend. She checked my gum pockets, which I never even heard of and went over some pretty important teeth cleaning processes with me that my old dentist never did!
She did my cleaning and it felt like 5 minutes! Old dentist felt like hours! Did I mention that my old dentist would often bring me to tears as I sat in his chair because he would scold me for not getting numb enough — yah. I said it.
Dr. Cohen and his staff are so awesome. As far as the building and location — the building is a small one story structure with a very pretty outside and waiting area. There is parking in the back, albeit small, but manageable with my Mini Cooper. There is also metered parking on the street. Make sure to look at the photo of the outside so you know what you’re looking for because the parking in the back is only accessed by a small driveway off of Woodman. If you miss the driv way you will need to make U turn and try again. Womp. Womp.
I can’t say much else, other than I had a fantastic experience, and I really love my dentist. I wish I had found him a long time ago, because it would have saved me a lot of stress and money!
I highly reccomend Dr. Cohen!

It’s not often that you have a healthcare experience that actually leaves you looking forward to going back for another visit. Well, here is one office that does! Why? Dr. Cohen and his staff are super genuinely friendly toward their patients which then translates into a great bedside manner. That combined with their expertise makes you feel super comfortable.
The office is super clean and has great energy as soon as you step foot in the door. What a difference that makes for people who hate going to the dentist!
Dr. Cohen is hands down the best dentist I’ve gone to in Los Angeles. He may even make you laugh!

I came onto the site yesterday to confirm the hours he is open and it made me realize I have been seeing Dr. Cohen for about 4 years now and can’t believe I haven’t written a review before today!
In a word, this office is amazing. I first went there due to a broken filling in 2008. I went because of the good reviews here on Unilocal (so they do work!). The first thing I noticed was how warm everyone in the office was. It really made you feel at home and for me, that’s half the battle with any kind of medical office. He put a crown on my broken tooth and the work was tremendous. Painless and done perfectly. I love that he talks with you about your teeth, your goals for teeth and possible treatments. I’ve never once been or felt «upsold». I felt like a true professional was talking to me instead of at me. That makes all the difference in the world.
Let me make this clear, I have always hated going to the dentist. I have a good pain tolerance but something about pain from dental procedures terrifies me. At Dr. Cohen’s office, I’ve always felt at ease and they really take care to make sure you don’t feel a thing. Now I actually enjoy going to the dentist. I can’t recommend them enough!

Dr. Cohen and his entire team are amazing!!! They go above and beyond a typical dentist office and its extremely refreshing to see people who truly love their jobs.
Thank you Dr. Cohen, Casey, Laura and Sophia for helping relieve the pain I had been experiencing in my jaw. One day later, Im already feeling better! You guys rock! ;)

I was quite impressed with Dr Cohen and his team. For the first time I didn’t feel like I was walking in to a mechanic to get an oil change and leaving with a timing belt adjustment. He takes the time to discuss YOUR goals. What a breath of fresh air for what a real Doctor-​Patient relationship should be.

Found Dr Cohen through a Groupon special for a cleaning, X-​rays and exam. 1^st time patient special on Groupon was great for someone without dental insurance. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Hygienist was great. Procedure was fast and painless. Dr Cohen was really nice and helpful! I have actually broken my bad habit of not flossing after speaking with him! I have a follow up with them, which out of pocket is still reasonably priced! Great value!

If you want a dentist who truly cares about you and your teeth I recommend Dr. Cohen 100%. He is an excellent dentist, very professional and thorough. The office is pleasant like his staff. Makes going to the dentist painless.

I had a terrible clogged, inflamed gland on my inner lip, and he did an amazing job fixing it using the latest laser technology. It’s been a week and my lip is almost completely healed, which is fast for such an invasive surgery. On top of that, he and his staff are really friendly and great at their jobs. He’s now my new dentist!

Dr. Cohen’s office provides excellent service. I have been extremely satisfied with the attention and care that they have provided. And Dr. Cohen is highly engaged with the Sherman Oaks community.
More specifically, I am satisfied with Dr. Cohen’s ability to clearly communicate dental care that is not distancing and his office responds immediately in emergencies.
4 years ago when I began searching for a dentist in the Sherman Oaks area I looked specifically for dentists that had just recently started their practice in the area. I thought, initially, that these individuals would be trained in the most recent practices and I would get the best services. I was extremely wrong. The first two dentists I visited treated the visit as if it were an assembly line and I felt very distanced from my own oral care. My initial visit with Dr. Cohen started a behavior change that in the long term has and will greatly benefit my oral health.
Dr. Cohen asked me a question that I had not heard from any other dentist on my initial visit: «What are your goals?» We sat and chatted for about 30 minutes and in those 30 minutes my view on oral care was profoundly changed for the better. All it really took was that one conversation to impress on me to invoke change. His ability to clearly communicate has instilled great confidence in his dentistry skills.
Second — after about a year and a half of visiting his office, I had a dental emergency. The short version is that a front tooth with a 15 year old root canal burst while I was eating bread (yea — French bread). The office was able to make an appointment with me that day to diagnose the problem. Dr. Cohen clearly communicated the 4 options that I had and the pros and cons of each without trying to hardsell one option over another. I opted to have the tooth removed and an implant inserted. I am still going through the process (4 months at the time of writing this) but I have received exemplary care. I admit that it has not been inexpensive, but I have confidence that the work he is doing will ensure that I will have a solid tooth for the rest of my natural life. The temporaries I have at the current moment are of good quality and I forget often that they are only temporaries.
Lastly, all of the products he uses are of high quality. His office may have been around for awhile but let me ensure you that he is up to speed on many current practices. And if it matters, the hardware that he implanted is made in America and the custom work done on the crowns is from the Los Angeles area as well.
I highly recommend Dr. Cohen’s services.
