Paul R Cogliano, DMD

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Paul for almost 30 years. When I was fresh out of High School I got my first job at an office on the waterfront and everybody there was a patient of his. They couldn’t say enough good things about him and even then his office was on the cusp of whatever was new and innovative in dentistry. I’ve had nothing but stellar experiences there. I was unemployed for a while and lost my insurance. There was a long gap in my life where I hadn’t been to a dentist in a while, cracked a tooth, had some other teeth issues going on. Once I got back into the workforce Dr. Paul sized me up and began the task of whipping me back into shape. Cost me an arm and a leg though. Cogliano won’t work with silver fillings, he only uses porcelan which most insurance carriers barely cover if at all. You’ll have to pay a lot out of pocket but as far as I’m concerned it’s worth it to scrape up the money to have less toxic substances in my mouth to worry about.
One day I phoned in an emergency appointmend with Dr. Cogliano and when I got there I was greeted by this new young whipper snapper I hadn’t seen before. Looks like his son John is now working out of the practice also. Besides making me feel old as hell, Dr. John is extremely detail oriented and really owns his work. My Primary Care doctor is retiring soon so I’ve been wringing my hands trying to figure out who I’m going to trust with my health when he goes. I have no such concerns with my dentists. I have no plans to switch when Dr. Paul retires and Dr. John may even be responsible for saving my life. I was erroneously sent to him by a doctor filling in for my Primary Care doc who didn’t take my swollen glands seriously and Dr. John upped the dosage on the weak antibiotic I was prescribed when he found no issues with my teeth. I’m still handwringing about finding a new PC as you can probably guess.

I had a dental emergency that involved stilettos, cobblestones, and one too many beverages. I chose this office for the great reviews on Unilocal,and on other review websites. One mentioned that they did great reconstructive work. They fit me in the same day I called. My appointment was with Dr. John who is Dr. Cogliano’s son. I was immediately at ease with him and knew I made the right decision. I have been going to the same pediatric dentist since I can remember (I am 23 now) so I thought that if the appointment went well, he could possibly be my new grown-​up dentist. One new tooth, two cavity fillings, a cleaning, and an x-​ray appointment later, I have nothing but amazing things to say about this practice. It’s clean, professional, warm, and very modern. They have awesome technology that I have never seen before. If you are looking for an amazing dentist with very affordable rates, check this place out!!!

Really like this office. Very professional office manager and they take you on time. When I was there they were having a fun discussion about the Pats. Only weird thing is the bathroom is through the mall but not a big deal.

I was super nervous about trying to find the right dentist besides the one I’ve had since childhood, but I luckily found Dr. Cogilano. When I made my appointment, I was a little confused at first to why they requested I come in for an hour ‘pre-​visit.’ But like any professional doctor should do is spend that time getting to know you and your history so he/​she can better treat you. For that first hour visit (which was covered by my insurance) I was thoroughly impressed with the technology he had on hand. With a pen-​size object he and his assistant took individual pictures of each tooth. It was so crazy to see all that detail. The rest of the staff are all so friendly and accommodating to your schedule too. Also, my usual hygienist is super nice too even though I know I suck with flossing. Did I forget to mention he is teaches at the B.U. dental school too?! Plus you can always trust a a doctor is a University does. I definitely recommend Dr. Cogilano!
