Traumatic Injuries Require Specialized Care

Imagine: You’ve been in a car accident. You’re alive, but the airbag didn’t deploy right, so your cheek is crushed and you have lacerations near your eyes.  You need a maxillofacial surgeon to repair your bones and tend to your mouth, but how are you going to find the right doctor?

What to Look For In A Surgeon

• Look at certifications: No matter what specialty you are looking for, you want to find a board-certified surgeon. For facial trauma, you need either a maxillofacial surgeon or a plastic surgeon.
• Where does he practice? Surgery should be performed in an accredited or professionally sponsored hospital or surgical center to ensure the highest standards of care.

Certified in maxillofacial and oral surgery, Dr. Cohen is able to diagnose and repair damage to all facial structures and mouth.
