In 2005, utilizing the latest technology, Dr. Cusumano established this practice that is focused on clinical excellence. The office provides oral surgery patients a comfortable and relaxing environment that utilizes digital radiography to diagnose problematic teeth, wisdom teeth and jaw pathology; IV / General Anesthesia for total patient comfort; soft tissue treatment with the comfort of a diode laser, and a surgical suit for the placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth. Dr. Cusumano's objective for this practice is to provide first-quality dental care in a state-of-the-art environment with careful attention to detail and deep personal respect.
I graduated from Appalachian State with a degree in Exercise Science and am currently in the process of applying to physical therapy school. At COS, I'm the sterilization tech/second assistant, meaning I make sure everyone has clean instruments and provide an extra set of hands during surgeries. I enjoy the fast-paced environment and being able to put my multitasking and organizational skills to use while helping to ensure the practice is providing our best patient care possible. In my free time, I really enjoy collecting houseplants, tending to my garden (really any outdoor activity), watching sports, and playing with my nephews, Weston and Tucker. I especially can't wait for Appalachian football to make its return; go 'neers!
My name is Taryn and I'm a 31 year old Cary native! I have been an oral surgeon's assistant for the past 10 years, and have been working with Dr. Cusumano since 2014! When I'm not living out my passion of helping people achieve the best oral health possible, you can find me spending time with my daughter, gardening, making jewelry, or enjoying time with family and friends.

This team rocks! I went in feeling anxious. The staff was friendly and professional and put me at ease. I was out in a timely manner and the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them for your dental needs.

I truly don't no where to begin. Long story short: A week after I had ONE wisdom tooth pulled I went back to him and said something was wrong and I was in pain. He said I was fine and gave me no antibiotics and more hydrocodone. A week later I end up at the doctor with a crazy infection. After TWO rounds of antibiotics I was sent to a specialist. I had an infection down to my bone that had to be cut open, drained, and biopsied. I am begging you to go somewhere else. He called and asked why I didn't come back to him and went somewhere else. I came to him right away and he doped me up and left. He was also an hour and a half late for my original surgery and offered no apology. After 5 weeks of antibiotics all together, 2 surgeries, and over $2000 in bills with insurance, I am finally feeling better.

Company policy of rescheduling an appointment do to illness! My 16yr old son had an appointment to have some teeth removed on a today but had gotten sick an was throwing up what he had in his stomach. I called the office to reschedule his abstraction surgery the receptionist said that it was company policy that being it is short notice, that cant reschedule him. She did say she could put him on a short notice list and maybe they could get him in that way. How can you do short notice if you have to not eat 24hrs prior and how can you prevent getting sick? Great doctor, he did my daughter but POOR policy!!! Best advise, don't get SICK they have NO SIMPATHY!!!

Great experience - Upon calling the receptionist was friendly and I was given an appointment for consultation the very next day. The office staff was friendly and professional and the wait time was wonderful - only five minutes. The dental assistant went out of her way to make me comfortable and make sure she accurately understood my medical situation. Dr. Cusumano was AWESOME. He helped me find a solution to complicated oral issues that completely suited my needs (even better than I expected), and he unexpectedly and proactively suggested things to help minimize cost, rather than maximizing his profit. He kindly alleviated my fears and made sure I understood every aspect of the surgery I had decided to undergo (and is able to perform this surgery less than a week from now!). Working with Dr. Cusumano and Staff is a wonderful experience.
