Michael L Cogan, DDS

Let me start by saying that I’ve never been one to write reviews on this thing but after a lifetime of dreading the dentist, I’ve finally found a dentist that changed my views! Dr. Cogan made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked into the door! He was very patient and knowledgeable and really seemed to care about his patients. I can’t thank him and the rest of his staff enough! I’m so happy I found this place that I had to share my experience! No longer dreading my next dental appointment. Would definitely recommend Dr. Cogan!

I went to this dentist because of the good reviews on Unilocal.I went and had absolutely nothing wrong, but the doctor insisted on changing an old filling. I did and he hurt my nerve or something, and could not eat after that. I ended up with a root canal! I couldn’t believe that from not having any cavities I could end up with a root canal. Definitely a very stressful situation.

The staff and doctor is nice, although I’ve had much better. The office is nice but highly unorganized. I’d much rather spend my insurance money on a dental office that will fully take care of their patients and not just after them for their money.

We are from California and my husband broke a tooth right as we were getting on a plane to Miami to go on a cruise. I looked on Unilocal and found Dr. Cogan. He came in on his day off to fix my husband’s tooth. We are super grateful for his commitment to serving patients even when it was likely inconvenient for him (on his weekend!)…he went the extra mile!

After six months of visiting horrible Miami dentists focused on their bottom line more than the necessities of their patients we ended up asking Dr. Cogan to help us out with a dental emergency. We were shocked at how professional he was, what an exception to the South Florida norm of attitude and incompetence he was, and how, honestly, how artistic he was. This is not a review blowing hot air. This is a breath of fresh air. Moreso, he we thorough and detailed — making a crown on the spot using his creative talent and he was affordable. Nash, at the front desk, also was easy to talk to and very helpful. I can’t recommend him enough.

100% recommended.
I’ve actually had some horrific dentists here in Miami, and ended up switching to a PPO plan just to get into here. I’ve been with Dr. Cogan for more than a year now and it’s been worth the switch. He does great work, has everything all digitized (none of that archaic equipment that you see in other offices!), and tells you like it is. Prices have been fair, and staff are professional, courteous, and actually care.
The best part is that they’re pretty much always on time.. .. and if you’re not, you’ll get a friendly call about your appointment time ;-) But this to me is worth its weight in gold. . there’s no worse feeling than leaving the office, going to a doc appt, and then realizing that you’ll be sitting in a lobby chair waiting and waiting for a tardy doctor and staff.

Just visited Dr. Cogan’s office for the first time, and I think I’ve finally found where I’ll be getting my dental check-​ups from now on! I called seven different offices to find the best financial option. I had a dental exam 6 months ago and have never had a cavity before, so my primary concern was to schedule a cheap hygiene appointment. Without insurance and ignoring the «$ 29 exam, cleaning and xrays!» one time only deals (scams?), Dr. Cogan’s office was offering the cheapest cleanings that I could find in the area ($ 85 without insurance). Even better, whereas several offices said they could only quote me a cleaning price after I had visited with their physician to decide what cleaning would be right for me, Dr. Cogan’s office allowed me to schedule a hygiene-​only visit and wait to see the dentist at a different visit. Props to Dr. Cogan’s office for allowing patients power over their medical care. Anyway, the office found space for me the very next day — another pleasant surprise.
The office itself is clean, comfortable, and located in an upscale mall. Its staff are friendly and down-​to-​earth. Diana, my hygienist, was sweet and gentle (a very important trait for someone who is digging around in your mouth), and I will be requesting her again in the future. Overall, my dental visit involved some entertaining conversation (hard to talk with someone’s hand in your mouth!), very little blood, and no tears. Definite victory and great experience overall.

What a pleasant experience! Dr. Cogan and his staff were amazing! They really care about your well being and making your comfortable. I was extremely nervous before my appointment due to past dentists that caused more pain and broke the bank.
Its so nice to finally find a dentist that cares about the patient and not just their pocketbook. I wish i could give them 10 stars. Will definitely recommend them and refer others to this place!

Was in Miami on a business trip, and a crown fell out. Literally from the time I called to the time I left the office was less than 30 mins. Receptionist was great and Got me in within 3 mins of my showing up. The dentist was excellent and very funny. Can’t give them enough stars!

Excellent service! My experience was that I called on Wednesday to see if they had any openings to get my teeth cleaned. The receptionist is very nice, and told me she would call me if anybody cancelled this week. Low and behold, someone cancelled and I was promptly on my way to get my teeth cleaned!
The staff were all very pleasant and Dr. Cogan was very professional and down to earth. I would highly recommend this place over the last place I went.
I’ve been trying to find a new dentist in the area, and believe today I have found him!

I have had some really terrible experiences with dentists — from legal battles to swollen gums, I seem to have a gift at finding the worst dentists. Today, I hesitantly made an appointment to see Dr. Michael Cogan, hoping that the reviews on Unilocal had finally led me in the right direction to an honorable dental office. Walking into the Doubletree Grand Hotel, it looks a bit more like visiting the Miami International Merchandise Mart than somewhere a reputable dentist would be, but I took a deep breath and walked through the glass doors to their waiting room. I was greeted by a small, simple waiting room and a smiling attendant. He handed me the normal «doctor-​stuff» paperwork, and I was seen only a few minutes after turning in the papers.
From that moment, everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. I have fairly sensitive gums (especially with the x-​rays), but all of the dental assistants took great care and seemed to truly listen to me. I was given a thorough cleaning, had quite a few x-​rays taken, and was seen by the dentist himself, all in about an hour and a half.
Dr. Cogan is personable, isn’t pushy in the least and really seems to be one of those «family dentist”-sorts that you would take your children to see.
The best part? They didn’t try to charge me something my insurance wouldn’t cover, there were no hidden fees, and I was able to leave with a bright shiny smile. I 100% recommend Dr. Cogan, which is quite a feat for me to say!

I really like Dr Cogan. As Gita said, he is hilarious! Once I was getting a deep cleaning and actually laughing as he injected me a dozen times! (and I hate needles!)
The staff is also fantastic. All the hygienists are very nice and know what they’re doing. The receptionist is great as well.
I think they also take most insurance companies (even crappy dhmos!) as they recently switched mine @ work and I’m still covered.
If you work in the downtown area and need a dentist, you may want to give this office a shot. Whenever I’ve had an appointment, I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes and I can usually make it back to work within my lunch hour.

To get an appointment to see the dentist doesn’t take very long. Sometimes he can see you the same day. But if you want a cleaning then, yes, there’s a wait. That’s how it is with most GOOD dentists. An appointment with the dentist and hygienist for a cleaning are two different things.
Dr. Cogan and his staff are awesome. Dr. Cogan is hilarious and his staff is very well-​trained. I am extremely high fear when it comes to the dentist, and Dr. Cogan is very good with putting me at ease.
The only thing I don’t like is you have to pay $ 4 for valet, since they are located in the Grand.
