The Cofar Foundation was established in memory of Dr. Ioan Cofar — co-founder of the Dentcof clinic and an essential presence for all those who had the privilege of working alongside him. Known for his deep empathy, inner balance, and exemplary professional ethics, Dr. Cofar left a lasting impact on the lives of his patients and colleagues. He had the gift of bringing calm through his mere presence, and a genuine kindness that left an indelible mark.
Years after his passing, his influence continues to be felt — in the stories of patients, in the team he built, and in the values he instilled. The foundation that bears his name carries forward the things that mattered most to him: care for people, support for young professionals, and a practice of dentistry marked by humility and heartfelt warmth. This foundation is a living tribute to a man who always placed the well-being of others first, and whose legacy extends far beyond the boundaries of his profession.
