Dr. Quaroni is the best of the best. Super detailed and attentive, he very much cares about his patients. His communication is excellent and you almost instantly know you are in good hands with him, literally! I do wish his dental assistant were a little more aware, though. She's made a few mistakes that were a bit frustrating and cost some extra time. Not everyone is perfect though, and Dr. Quaroni is so fabulous, he's worth it. A few times while sitting in the waiting room, several patients have shared their stories of past experiences with other oral surgeons and discussed the vast improvements in their oral health once they found Dr. Quaroni. Whereas U.S. medical doctors seem to view patients as mere business customers more often, and don't bother to check up on them or treat them as equals, Dr. Quaroni is an exception to this decline of patient care and is, instead, exemplary in his care and treatment of his patients. A rare find, for sure. read more

Dr. Quaroni is extremely knowledgeable, over the top intelligent and very gentle and kind

Dr. Quaroni is a top-notch, dedicated, and empathetic oral surgeon. I met Dr. Quaroni seven years ago due to TMJ pain. During the initial consultation, it was evident that he was a compassionate, highly skilled doctor eager to help me. He examined my jaw and bite and explained that my misaligned teeth, open bite, and missing tooth were affecting my joints. In the early stages of my TMJ problem (sudden bite change), I lost my range of motion (ROM). Dr. Quaroni recommended stretching exercises to increase my ROM. He is a conservative doctor who is cautious and meticulous when there is a potential issue with the joints. After multiple visits and reviewing my MRI, Dr. Quaroni recommended lysis and lavage because I had chronic inflammation in my left TMJ. I was in awe because I increased my ROM from 30 cm to 45 cm and kept that ROM after the procedure! Once my joints were stable, Dr. Quaroni recommended that I begin orthodontic treatment to align my teeth and jaw. He explained that there was a remote possibility of jaw realignment due to my open bite. Accordingly, Dr. Quaroni referred me to a talented orthodontist who coupled my teeth and aligned my jaw. Though I spent three years wearing braces and tight rubber bands, it was all worthwhile because my teeth aligned beautifully, and my TMJ pain decrease significantly. Dr. Quaroni and my orthodontist worked closely together because I also had a missing tooth, which impacted my smile. Dr. Quaroni performed the implant, and to my amazement, I felt zero pain or discomfort with the various procedures performed throughout the surgery. Furthermore, I received a pain medication prescription before the surgery that I took to the pharmacy to fill, but I only took the medication once due his excellent skills and care. Dr. Quaroni's exceptional hands have a very gentle touch. Dr. Quaroni has been my greatest advocate as I struggled with my medical problems. He goes above and beyond his duties as a surgeon and provides the best medical care possible. Overall, Dr. Quaroni is a professional, trustworthy, caring and brilliant human being, and I highly recommend him to anyone. I know several friends who have received treatment from Dr. Quaroni and have the same feelings about him that I do. Way to go, Dr. Quaroni! read more

It can be challenging to find doctors who are not only skilled but also take the time to listen and explain things to their patients. About a decade ago, I was referred to Dr. Quaroni after a CT scan showed something in my mouth. From then on, I have been a patient of Dr. Quaroni who is highly skilled and compassionate towards his patients. Recently, my 17-year-old son required some oral surgery, and I went to Dr. Quaroni for it. My son has had a lot of dental work done throughout his childhood, and he is usually not very fond of oral surgeons. However, Dr. Quaroni was so patient and answered all our questions thoroughly. He completed the extractions, exposed teeth, and placed chains in my son's mouth. Even my teenage son, who is usually hard to please, was impressed and typed on his phone to let me know that Dr. Q is awesome. I recently needed to have my wisdom teeth removed, and of course, I went to Dr. Quaroni. I had a lot of questions and concerns about the surgery due to a rare disease I have that makes oral surgery a bit complicated. However, Dr. Quaroni took the time to address all my concerns, explain the procedure and showed me the items on the x-rays and he showed genuine concern for my well-being both before and after the surgery. To sum it up, Dr. Quaroni is a highly qualified and caring doctor who truly looks out for his patients. I would highly recommend him and his entire team. The staff at his office is also incredibly attentive and helpful. read more

Everything you want in an oral surgeon. He extracted the bottom half of a tooth that had broken off. Kind, thoughtful, a perfectionist and quick! I asked him to use nitrous oxide which helped me relax so much. I never felt any pain even after the numbness wore off but was provided with ample pain meds along with a prescription to prevent infection. I will return for a follow up soon that will be a quick in and out. I highly recommend Dr. Q!! read more

Dr. Quaroni is professional and straightforward. I had the option of using an in network dentist or Dr. Quaroni and I chose Dr. Quaroni because of his track record with implants and the professional demeanor of him and his office. I'm currently going thru the implant process which takes a few months. read more

While we've always had great experiences with Dr. Quaroni, I wish I could say the same about the office staff. My daughter had surgery in Feb 2021 and I was given an estimated amount to pay for the surgeon's portion in advance. After the surgery, I discovered that the amount was nearly $2,000 over what I should have paid according to my insurance. For the next 5 months I had to regularly call the office to ask when the excess amount would be refunded and had to repeatedly explain the entire situation when dealing with different office/billing staff. More recently, I called the office to request an updated physical therapy order for my daughter. I'm now on my 10th call to the office and still don't have an updated order. Office staff don't get/return messages or staff quit and their work is not transferred to someone else. I've never dealt with a medical office that has been so consistently incompetent. If we didn't have such high regard for Dr. Quaroni, we would leave this practice in a heartbeat. read more

I was so grateful when I found Dr. Andrea Quaroni last year when I needed two impacted wisdom teeth removed. I could not have asked for anyone better as he was kind, thorough, and an exceptional surgeon! And now I have even more respect and appreciation for him! I referred my 73 year old mom to him as she had an unusual case due to past medications that could provide complications in an extraction. She had already had consultations with 3 other dentists and one specialist so by the time she met with Dr. Quaroni, she was very anxious. However, the doctor was so kind and made her feel super comfortable with his knowledge, recommendations and gentle demeanor. Plus, he was genuinely interested in just chatting with my mom about the small island of Japan she was from and that extra care for his patients speaks volumes about him! Thank you Dr. Quaroni...mom says Arigatou! :) read more

I'm incredibly scared of Dr. Quaroni and I am NOT afraid of dentists. I'm a really healthy person, my implant got infected. His office also refused to release my medical records after my procedure- twice, and was evasive with my full refund. I asked a Austin EMS Community Health Paramedic to help me obtain my medical records. My implant got pus-infected, Dr. Quaroni advised to leave it for 3 weeks because he'd have to give a full refund. Half my face was swollen, droopy, and numb. His office did about 1 x-ray per week, which made me more sick. Finally after visiting 4 other surgeons, he agreed to remove the implant. It's been 3 weeks, some parts of my cheeks are still numb. Quaroni gave me Clindomycin double-dose for 3 weeks (3 prescriptions) to fight the infection. I'm still having diarrhea from it. On the day he removed implant, he was incredibly rude to me. He did not use enough numbing medicine, so I could feel all the pain. I told him, he ignored my concerns and picked at the infection. I'm scared of leaving a review because mentions his negative reviews to people (he did to me) and makes fun of the patients. He is very knowledgeable, but he did not use his knowledge appropriately for me. read more

Dr. Quaroni is superb. A calming presence, a bit funny, and a stellar oral surgeon. He's performed two extractions and an implant on me, and as generally dreadful as these procedures are, he legitimately makes them easy and borderline enjoyable (mostly thanks to his stellar skills and sparkling personality). I've done all of them awake under local anesthesia (they offer sedation for those who prefer it) and he impresses me every time. Though I hope to be finished with my oral surgery needs soon, if any pop up again, I'm glad to know I'll be in great hands. read more

I was absolutely terrified to get my wisdom teeth out and consulted with numerous oral surgeons. I have never been put under nor had oral surgery before so yeah, I was freaking out. Once I finally got to talk with Dr. Quaroni I was instantly at ease. He has such a calm demeanor and made me feel much better about having this surgery. He made an effort to get to know me and really make sure all of my questions were answered. The surgery was quick, painless and now I am fully recovered! I'd highly recommend especially if you have surgery anxiety like me!! read more

Dr. Quaroni and his staff are friendly, professional and efficient. I always felt at ease and well taken care of. And best of all short wait times compared to many other doctor offices. Centrally located and easy parking is a plus. Dr. Quaroni has decades of experience and came highly recommend from my regular dentist. read more

Yelp saves me again. So I go to the dentist and I'm reminded once again that I need to have my wisdom teeth removed. I take a look at the panorex x-ray and see for myself just how gnarly those things are. My dentist recommends a couple oral surgeons and I assure him that next time he sees me, I won't have those things in my mouth anymore. I call the two oral surgeons that my dentist recommends and apparently they suck at life. They refused to file the paperwork with my insurance and generally seemed difficult to deal with. This is what brought me to yelp. I find that Dr. Quaroni is loved here on yelp for wisdom teeth removal and decide to book an appointment. The staff here are unbelievably nice and were more than happy to file the paperwork with my insurance. They even got me in to see Dr. Quaroni just a few days after I called! At the very first consultation I found that everything mentioned here on yelp is completely true. This Doctor knows his stuff, is extremely pleasant, and really seems to care about his patients. He asked me who referred me to him and I told him about yelp.com. He also mentioned that due to my screwed up teeth I was at a higher risk for possible numbness problems post-op. I don't remember much of anything about the day of surgery except sleeping a lot when I got home afterward. It turned out that I did have some crazy numbness for about a 1.5 months after surgery. This concerned me a bit at first, but the good doctor and his staff explained to me clearly what was happening and made me feel quite at ease about the situation. Everything cleared up as they predicted it would, but during that phase I received nothing but the best treatment from Dr. Quaroni and his staff. I can't speak highly enough about this doctor and his staff. He made my wisdom teeth removal process as painless as it could have been and was very supportive through my slight complication afterward that was due to my crazy mouth. If I ever need some kind of oral or jaw surgery, I know the doctor I'm going to see. Let's get this guy one of those "people love us on yelp" stickers for the front door. He and his staff seriously rock. read more

Dr. Quaroni was referred to me by a close friend, and it's one of the best recommendations I ever got. Dr. Quaroni is the consummate oral surgeon -- someone that you wish you could have as your regular dentist! His bedside manner is legendary. Heis soft-spoken, extremely intelligent and well-versed, but is quite possibly the most compassionate dentist I have seen. He constantly asks if you're doing OK, if you are comfortable, etc. He genuinely cares about your well-being. During visits, he always makes time for your questions and for your understanding of the procedure. The result is that you are informed and above all, CALM. I was seriously relaxed while he was conducting surgery in my mouth. He is quite skilled -- he just did two implants for me in 30-45 minutes -- and he answered every question I had, including showing me my X-rays on the screen to explain what was going on and why. I can't say enough good about him. Although I hope you never need oral surgery, if you do, Dr. Quaroni just can't be beat. read more

It's been several months since I had my *impacted* wisdom teeth removed (at age 31, a bit late indeed) along with an additional tooth that had taken some collateral damage from being next to the impacted teeth for so long. So first, let me point out that I am terrified of procedures that involve shots, blood, cutting of any type. So much so that I almost always pass out on the spot. My anxiety around this type of procedure is so great that I typically avoid them altogether (hence being about 16 years late in getting the wisdom teeth extracted :-0) Right out of the gate at my initial consultation I explained my anxieties with Dr. Quaroni and he was compassionate, understanding, and professional. He not only doesn't make you feel bad, he explains how common these fears are, and more importantly, how normal. He explained carefully the form of sedation he was selecting for me and why. . . and let me assure you, come surgery time, I could not have been happier with his choice. In ten seconds flat I was completely knocked out (and yes, the idea of being unconscious also caused me great anxiety leading up to the moment), and the next thing I knew I was conscious again with absolutely no memory of the procedure whatsoever. Sure, I was a bit groggy, but my wife was on-hand to drive me home. Recovery was mildly unpleasant, but manageable. Dr. Quaroni followed up to make sure everything was okay, and performed a checkup a week or so later to check on the healing progress. About two months later I paid another visit to his office, to report some tenderness in one of the areas he operated on. He quickly diagnosed a bone spur, which he was able to remove quickly and relatively painlessly at that moment, without scheduling another appointment or, best of all, even charging me for the office visit. Dr. Quaroni is a physician who truly cares about your comfort, keeps you informed, and delivers on his promises. Although I hope never to have to require additional oral surgery, if I (or anyone else in my family) ever do need an oral surgeon again, I'll call him in a flash, this time at a bit more ease knowing I am in good hands. read more

You really can't go wrong here folks. Admittedly, "dental surgery" is not a phrase most of us want to hear much less use, but if it comes to that why not go somewhere where you are seen at your scheduled time, the office staff and medical techs are friendly, and the Dr treats you with respect? Uh, that would be Dr. Quaroni. My experience here last week was professional, prompt and courteous and I enjoyed everyone I came in contact with including the Dr. When was the last time you could say that about your health care provider? Need dental surgery? See Dr. Quaroni. Its just that easy. read more

After discussions with the billing office, there was apparently some mix up. They made it right. Taking the high ground. Thanks for doing the right thing. read more

What was most important to me in selecting a surgeon to perform my oral surgery was finding an absolute expert in the profession. I cared about bedside manner, but it was not a deciding factor for me. How "nice" a surgeon is has little to do with how competent they are in performing a highly complex surgery like mine. My top priority was expertise. I did not want a surgeon who this was their 50th procedure. I wanted someone that it was their thousandth. Dr. Quaroni is that surgeon. He has less than a 3% relapse rate, which means it's extremely rare that he has to perform corrective surgery on a patient more than once. Before meeting Dr. Q, others had informed me that he was "tough" and "not warm" and a little "abrupt". So that's what I expected when I met him. They must have been talking about someone else. He doesn't chit-chat, but that doesn't mean he's not warm. Dr. Q is all business and very direct, which I like. He knows what he's talking about and is extremely meticulous about his work. So much so that he took a mold of my mouth and performed a practice surgery on it about a week prior to my scheduled surgery. This is an impressive thing when you are trusting someone to use tiny saws and knives on the inside of your mouth while you are out cold. Oral surgery requires a lot of coordination between your dentist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon. I found Dr. Q to be proactive and persistent in reaching out to the other doctors to ensure that everyone was on the same page down to the finest detail. I have also found him to be a compassionate surgeon. Dr. Quaroni checked on me personally every day while I was in the hospital, sometimes more than once. It is not uncommon for a surgeon to send a staff member or tech to check on a patient. That is not Dr. Quaroni's practice. He does it himself. Is that necessary? Maybe not, but I really appreciated it. He also called my husband over that weekend to see how I was doing. He even opened the office during the holiday himself specifically to see me and a few other patients. He made me feel like I was the only one he was performing surgery on, but the reality is that he was in back-to-back procedures before Christmas, the busiest time of year for oral surgeons. I can't say that I enjoyed jaw surgery, but I can say that I'm so grateful Dr. Quaroni is the surgeon who performed it. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I went to Jarrod Campbell, who referred me to Dr. Quaroni and staff. He met me on a very bad day but was still incredibly kind at my nervous behavior. I got a dry socket and my lip is still numb two months later, but in that sense I think I'm unique. Followups are free, even if like me you manage to screw up your aftercare/have a numb lip. Dr. Voorhees has been my followup and even met me on the Sunday afternoon after surgery when my dry socket was unbearable. The day of surgery, Dr. Quaroni put the IV in himself. I was out in an instant and the rest of the day was thankfully uneventful. If I could give them a hug without all the awkward, I sure would. read more

UPDATE: I had yet another tooth extraction performed by Dr. Quaroni, and of course, everything went off without a hitch. Dr. Quaroni had a UT dental student in the room and was amazingly good with her while teaching her how to blast someone with lidocaine or whatever other numbing agents were filling my jaw. Again, highly recommended....I doubt there is a better choice anywhere. I had my wisdom teeth (all 4) removed by Dr. Quaroni and staff on Friday, June 23rd. After resting the remainder of that day and taking it very easy over the next two days, I was back at work on Monday, healing up nicely. The reviews here for Dr. Quaroni and his assisting and office staff are spot on. Everyone was very cordial, attentive and seem genuinely interested in the comfort and well being of their patients. I woke up from anesthesia in my typical smart-alecky and comical way, telling jokes and generally being 'that guy'...hey, the general anesthesia does it to me...and the staff just laughed and helped me to my car. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Quaroni and his staff for any oral surgery needs. I don't think it's possible to find a better oral surgeon. read more

Dr. Quaroni, Is a pro's pro, experienced surgeon, who I would refer to anyone. He is true profession, with an outstanding " bed side " manner. read more

Dr. Quaroni is amazing. I went in on two accounts to get teeth pulled and once to get a wisdom tooth exposed, and both experiences were wonderful. The first time I went in, I got teeth pulled and went under anesthesia. I had major IV anxiety because of a past bad experience, and Dr. Quaroni was so reassuring and the experience was painless. He is very polite and professional, but I trust him completely and would recommend anybody who needs teeth extractions to go to him! read more

Yesterday, I took my 87-yr-old mom to Dr. Quaroni for extraction of a lower wisdom tooth. It was not impacted but needed to come out, and she was pretty anxious about the procedure, especially because she is on a blood-thinning medication. Dr. Q had met with her a few days prior, putting her at ease and giving her specific instructions. The day of the extraction, her appointment was at 10 a.m. and they called her back to the procedure room at exactly 10 a.m. They allowed me to stay with her the entire time (and checked on me, too, periodically, to make sure I wasn't going to pass out). After giving her the anesthetic shots and letting those take effect, Dr. Q came back in at 10:25 and by 10:35 the tooth was out! I was watching the procedure the whole time and saw no blood, no trauma of any kind. My mom never felt any pain, either during the procedure, or amazingly even up to now, more than 24 hours later. The entire staff was so competent, professional, and caring; I was really impressed. I would definitely go see Dr. Q for any oral surgery needs I have in the future! read more

I had a terrible experience when I had a wisdom tooth extracted here about 5 years ago. I was extremely anxious and fearful before seeing Dr.Quaroni, which was made even worse when I realized this guy had NO patience what so ever. He called me needy and demanding and left the room after becoming frustrated with me. I sat in his chair with tears streaming down my face as I tried to understand why he was treating me so poorly. His assistant (wish I could remember his name) was great! He stayed there and talked to me, bringing my anxiety down some. I'm not an exceptionally difficult patient and maybe I just caught him on an off day, but it's made me even more apprehensive to visit a dentist because of the way I was treated by him. A little compassion would have been nice. read more

Dr. Quaroni is one the most gentle and attentive surgeons I have ever worked with. I am 34 and have been very hesitant to remove my 2 impacted wisdom teeth for the better part of the past decade. In the past, seasoned surgeons told me that the teeth were so risky to remove that I would need a bone graft for my upper one and that there would most likely be nerve damage to my bottom tooth. One doctor flat out refused to remove them 5 years ago after seeing my x-rays. I found Dr. Quaroni on Yelp and was looking for the best and that is exactly what I found. He was very grounded and mindful in delivering the risks involved which was only a 3% chance of nerve damage. Still I was anxious and had a million questions, all of which he answered with patience and understanding. I had surgery two weeks ago and the outcome was total success! No nerve damage (in fact he didn't even see the nerve) and I am healing wonderfully. I didn't even need my pain meds, just the ibuprofen prescribed. I can not say enough about the gentleness and professionalism that Dr. Quaroni embodies. So much gratitude for this man! Highly recommend him especially if you are anxious about dental work! read more

Dr. Quaroni is very calm, gentle, and reassuring. He told my teenage son what to expect every step of the way and talked him through the procedure, checking on his pain levels regularly. My son's tooth extraction was a little more complicated than what a regular dentist could do as it was genetically malformed inside and would fracture into pieces when it was pulled. He reassured both of us as to what he would be feeling, what recovery would be like, and steps to take after the tooth was removed. We will be going back to him to remove his four wisdom teeth even though it's a big drive from NW Leander. read more

I feel that I have been incredibly fortunate in the various dental providers that I have found for myself in Austin. I was referred to the fantastic Dr. Quaroni by my equally awesome dentist Dr. Michael Baker, when I was told by the also excellent orthodontist team at Ortho 360 that the only way to fix my jaw issues properly would be with orthognathic surgery. I have high maintenance dental issues and it turns out that I needed both upper and lower jaws fixed, along with an added genioplasty throw in to cover all the bases, which I finally had done this past March. Orthognathic surgery is more than just your basic outpatient style oral surgery and has the potential to be quite traumatic, with a long and uncomfortable recovery. I'm so glad I went to Quaroni. So goddamned glad. He worked with me through the entire process, starting way back with the initial orthodontic assessment in October 2011. Hands down, he is one of the best doctors I have ever been too and I can only further echo the sentiments already made by others on here; his calming and caring bedside manner, his dry sense of humor and ability to put you at ease, the time he takes to actually get to know you and make you feel like a human being (sadly how many doctors even do this nowadays?!), and most importantly, his top notch expertise in this specialization. When its your face being altered, you really want to make sure that the person cutting and breaking apart your jaws to put everything back together again better than it was originally found, really knows what they are doing. Maybe its because he's from Italy but in my mind he exudes the subtle vibe of a sculptor. This may sound corny but he really is an artist. You can feel his excitement over the possibilities in the potential transformation and his enthusiasm is infectious. Beyond the required medical and anatomical elements involved, he was incredibly thorough in considering all of the aesthetic details. Yeah, I'm vain, so I cared and I found the lengths that he went to by utilizing a combination of x-rays, photos, impression models to do a practice surgery on, considering angles while standing, while seated, from profile and straight on, etc., very reassuring. I feel safe in saying that not every surgeon goes to these lengths. As a point of comparison, I saw a different surgeon earlier in this process and it was a very different experience. So for someone who avoided dental professionals for nearly a decade of her life due to an almost pathological level of fear, I find myself strangely saddened at the though of reaching the end of this process with him, while also being absolutely thrilled beyond belief with the changes that his work has resulted in. In addition to everything fantastic about Quaroni, his staff are also the greatest. From the receptionists, to the medical assistants (Yuvia and Mark were two of my favorites), to the women working with the devil spawned insurance companies (Linda, thank you again), I cannot recommend this office high enough. I'm sure with my crap Irish teeth that I will most likely have the fortitude to encounter them all again in the future. read more

If there was anyway possible to give this wonderful man one hundred stars, I would. I don't think anyone could ever have a more pleasant experience with an oral surgeon. Okay, maybe on a date, possibly, if he is as cute as Dr. Quaroni. This does not sound like a review for the extraction of wisdom teeth, but believe me, it is. This guy is FABULOUS! I went in ten minutes after my significant other called saying that I was swollen and in pain. How many dental offices tell you, "Come now"? In 12 hours, the doctor with the golden touch has removed the impacted wisdom tooth, plus one, and I barely have any pain. By six that evening, I am eating and feeling back to normal. The good doctor knew I had a trip coming up and fixed me right up to take it. Here's the clincher: he calls at 10 pm to find out how I am feeling!!!!! I am sooooo impressed. I am ready to go back for round two and get the last two removed. If any of you need oral surgery, this is the place to go. For the money, it's well worth the service, the attentiveness, and Dr. Quaroni's magic hands. He is a genius at what he does and I highly recommend him. Update: All four wisdom teeth are gone now. I had the last two done in early November without any problems. Again, perfect extraction, no pain. By the way, Dr. Quaroni himself again inserted the IV into my arm, I didn't feel a thing, and no bruising! He is an utterly wonderful doctor and if I could, I'd do the extractions all over again!!!!!! read more

I have only one complaint about Dr. Quaroni: he's an oral surgeon and, gosh darnit, that means I don't get to go to him very often. By far the coolest, most personable, and comforting doctor with whom I've ever had the pleasure of working, he took out all four of third molars this morning and---notwithstanding the fact that I'm currently wrapped in a hoodie that covers up the enormous ice-packs insulating either side of my no-longer-wisdom-toothed jaw---I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience. A top five list of great traits: (1) I called for an appointment on a Tuesday; went in the next morning (Wednesday); and was scheduled to have my teeth out on Thursday, all without any claim to emergency. (2) During my conslutation visit, Dr. Quaroni spent just as much time getting to know me as he did talking about my teeth; it put me at ease about a fairly nauseating-sounding extraction process. (3) Instead of having me count down backwards from 10 as the anaesthesia set in this morning, Dr. Quaroni engaged me about---of all things---racial bias and juror selection. Far more interesting than counting, that's for sure. (Though it did confuse the nurses a bit when my first word, after waking up, was "Batson!") (4) Dr. Quaroni's entire staff is interesting, interested in their patients, kind and attentive. (5) Ask me again in a few days---but so far, despite having semi-gnarly, should-have-been-taken-out-years-ago teeth, I'm just as pleased as can be. No pain*; no swelling;** no bruising. Thus far, having one's wisdom teeth out seems just like a great excuse to take time off work and sleep a lot. I'm for it. * Ed. Okay, fine, a little bit of pain. ** Ed. Okay, fine, a little bit of that too. What do you expect, people? Sheesh. read more

Well, I will add my wholehearted "he's the best!" to the general adoration of Dr. Quaroni. If only all physicians were as thorough, caring and competent. I was referred to Dr. Quaroni by my physical therapist who specializes in jaw issues for a TMJ problem, and also for a serious "open bite" (a/k/a my jaw and teeth are a mess, even after wearing braces for 4 years decades ago). The TMJ problem ended up being resolved by the wonderful PT, so Dr. Quaroni focused on my open bite, which causes my teeth to not meet properly, basically anywhere. This can lead to uneven wear on the back teeth, eventually losing teeth, etc., so it can be serious. The PT told me he thought I should have jaw surgery to correct it (which would also mean wearing braces on my teeth beforehand -- again!). Dr. Quaroni met with me and my husband twice (with an MRI in between, and a special type of x-ray at the second appointment), and both times he was not rushed at all, spent a lot of time with us, and patiently explained my situation, what surgical correction would entail, and my options. After learning that the surgery to correct my open bite would be a "huge procedure" (his words), involving breaking both my upper and lower jaw on each side and putting plates and screws in four places, and on both sides of my nasal cavity, a 2 night hospital stay, missing 3 weeks of work, and a 3 month healing process with a liquid/soft diet for that entire time, I was seriously freaked out. Dr. Quaroni said that he could make a very convincing case that I needed this surgery to correct my open bite, and that other experts would agree, but -- that might not be in my best interest. Imagine a doctor saying that! When he would obviously profit from doing the surgery. I was impressed. And enormously relieved. (He has performed this exact surgery close to 900 times.) He explained in detail how I can manage my situation without surgery (religiously wearing a bite guard/dental splint every night, and closely monitoring the wear on my back teeth), and he recommended a sleep study to rule out any airway/breathing issues which can be related to my situation. Dr. Quaroni performed a TMJ procedure on my mother about 8 years ago, under general anesthesia, and she raved about him back then. She has serious health issues and is a retired nurse, and she loved him. My dentist and physical therapist also said he is the absolute best at what he does (my PT said he would go to Dr. Quaroni himself and would send any family member needing to see an oral surgeon to him). In case some of you didn't know, Dr. Quaroni is both a dentist and an M.D. -- some serious schooling! I can't recommend Dr. Quaroni highly enough. If I ever need to see an oral surgeon for anything in the future, I will definitely go back to him. read more

If you're one of the unfortunates who needs oral surgery, go see Dr. Quaroni. I'd rather not expound on my unpropitious need for oral surgery, but I did want to say that Dr. Quaroni is a rarely high caliber as far as doctors go. He's extremely intelligent, competent, knowledgeable (not just about his specialty), compassionate, precise, and I could go on and on... read more

Is it odd to say you had a pleasant wisdom tooth removal? If you go to Dr Quaroni you will be surprised. Not only was he was calming, nice and professional, but his staff was wonderful as well. He was attentive to my concerns after the procedure, even a week after, especially regarding residual pain and my prescriptions. I recommend this practice to everyone who needs oral surgery! read more

On a chart of 1 to 5 he's a easily a 7. Smart, kind, gentle, very focused on his patients. If you have to have oral surgery (my daughter had to have 3), he's THE guy. read more

Without a doubt, the most caring medical office I have ever experienced. From the minute you walk in the door, right through the last procedure it is evident that this practice truly cares for each patient as an individual. My only regret is that I cannot use this practice for all my dental needs. Dr. Quaroni and his staff are truly the very tops in their field. read more

Yelp saved the day! I've been in Austin for a couple years now for college, and since I moved out of my parents' house I had not found a new dentist and my wisdom teeth were on their way in. I waited until the 1st of the new year for a dental insurance plan to kick in, and I found Quaroni with the help of google and yelp. This guy is great!! I went in on a Wednesday and had a surgery scheduled for Friday. Even though I was nervous since I had never had a surgery before, Quaroni made me feel very comfortable with the procedure! He was very honest about the possible risks involved with my surgery; he pulled up the X-ray of my teeth and pointed out all the little characteristics of my mouth that he predicted might cause for either more pain or a higher risk of complication, and listened to my thoughts no the matter as well. There was no bruising from the IV, and the even the swelling seemed very minimal. I was back at work on Monday, and my co-workers told me they would have never guessed that I had had all 4 wisdom teeth removed just a few days before. I just went in for my 2 week check-up today, and I was told that everything is healing up great! The pain for my surgery was completely gone after a week and a half, and I have not had any other complications. I highly recommend going to Quaroni for any oral surgery you need taken care of! He is extremely talented at what he does, and he ensures that you are very well taken care of. read more

My experience when I got my implant done at Dr. Quaroni's office was all wonderful. Dr. Quaroni is brilliant, calm, patient, caring and gentle. The process of my implant was flawless, smooth and painless. He has a wonderful assistant working with him during the process. The next morning I woke up with no pain even when the numbness is completely gone. Dr. Quaroni is also honest. He will tell you if the implant is worth doing. He is rather conservative in this regard and won't just go ahead do the implant if he thinks is not going to be successful. When he found out after my bone healed, that the space I have is shorter than needed for the regular endosteal implant, he told me to wait and to consult with my dentist about the situation. He also communicate and work together. I had communicated with Jarica with various matters from time to time before and after my implant was done. She is just so wonderful and so quick in her response, either by e-mail or by phone. The whole staff is wonderful, courteous and friendly. The whole practice of Dr. Quaroni and the staff is very customer service oriented, and it seems they do it so effortless, and true, meaning they don't just act nice on the surface. Thanks you again for the amazing experience! read more

Dr. Quaroni and the office staff were great when I got my wisdom teeth removed. I'm typically very scared when I go to the dentist, but they were so nice and understanding. The let my boyfriend come in with me while they were putting under anesthesia for the extraction. It was honestly really not that bad. Dr. Quaroni was a very nice man, who made it very easy for me. They gave me an ice pack the wraps around your face, and gave me great instructions. I would definitely recommend going if you're scared of anything dentist. They make it easy, and almost as painless. (Obviously there's some pain because you're getting the teeth taken out.) read more

Incredible doctor. I went to Dr. Quaroni to have my wisdom teeth removed, they were impacted and close to the nerve but the surgery went very well and I healed very quickly (following all of the post-surgery instructions is important). His staff was no-fuss but very friendly. Dr. Quaroni even sent me a thank you note after the surgery. Who does that? (He does!). I've never had such a great experience with any other doctor in my life. Dr. Quaroni is very smart, honest, straight-forward and trustworthy, I would recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery. read more

In Feb of 2011 my wife was in an accident about 40 miles outside of Austin. She had several severe, deep lacerations across her face, lips, neck, cheek. I'll spare any further details so as not to make people squeamish. Dr. Quaroni was the trauma surgeon on call for facial injuries at Breckenridge hospital in Austin. He met with my wife and I before surgery (my wife was awake and aware), met with us afterward. He was the calmest person I had ever met, put my wife and I at ease, and did a WONDERFUL job of fixing my wife's face. Even the next day our family was amazed at the job he did...and she looks better every week. We travel from Houston to Austin for followups with him. The first time in his office his staff greeted us, complimented my wife on how she looks, assured us the scars would continue to fade, checked with me, worked with us on payment (I'm not eligible for insurance with my new job yet), and Dr. Quaroini continues to be as calm, courteous and kind as he was in the trauma room. Perhaps most impressive, he's also suggested we find another surgeon for a little bit of follow up work on the scars - this not being his area of expertise. He could recommend people in Austin, but as we're in Houston he's offered to contact surgeons in Houston on our behalf to talk about our case and make sure they can help us. I cannot describe how impressed I am with him, his staff, his help, and the entire experience of working with him. read more

Just finished my second tooth extraction with Dr. Quaroni. He is seriously amazing and so is the office staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else for oral surgery. I wish he was my regular dentist! read more
