James Dodd, DDS
Dr. James Dodd’s journey to orthodontics began early. After receiving Phase 1 orthodontic treatment as a child, he knew he wanted to help create healthy, confident smiles for others. Originally from Virginia, he earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia before attending Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry.
During dental school, Dr. James became deeply involved in orthodontic research, earning recognition from the American Association of Orthodontists with the AAO Award for Exceptional Interest in the Development of the Oro-Facial Complex. He went on to complete his orthodontic residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident and gained extensive experience treating a wide range of complex orthodontic cases.
Today, Dr. James is a board-certified orthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He provides comprehensive orthodontic care for patients of all ages and is known for creating a comfortable, welcoming experience while building lasting relationships with his patients. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife Anna, cheering on UVA athletics, exploring Monmouth County with his dog Tito, and catching the latest movies.

The entire staff is amazing as is Dr. Cuozzo. He made sure my child’s mouth was ready for treatment rather than just placing the hardware on her. It took us three visits to get there. My child doesn’t mind coming here because she knows she will be treated well. What more can a mom ask for!
Excellent service and extremely professional. Dr. Cuozzo is very hands-on and works closely with every single patient. Not sure how he does it, but the care and attention shows. Also, his entire team is very professional, caring and accommodating. I would highly recommend them.
The scheduling for Cuozzo Orthodontics is seamless. They use a technology as far as reminding you via text. The flexibility that they offer, the ease that they offer… I’m not sitting outside in the waiting room. If I sat in the waiting room more than five minutes it was a lot. I respect the fact that they value everybody’s time.
