Stay away! There are plenty of good, kind, decent oral surgeons in the area- this is not one of them. Dr. Paolino enjoys being condescending and judgemental; especially towards women. He does not treat patients as partners in their own health care. His is the only opinion that matters. I went for a simple consult and left in tears. He went so far as to write "1983" and "2014" on a piece of paper to indicate to me that he has been a dentist 31 years. He then said, "this is how long I have doing this- listen to me!" I have never been treated so badly by a dentist. Total superiority complex and very aggressive manner.
