Andrea Quaroni, DDS MD

I needed a late-​night jaw surgery (broken jaw) in 2012 and Dr. Quaroni came in and did such a great job that I have had zero pain since my accident. He is extremely professional and caring, and I truly believe that his practice and hard work has been an incredible blessing in my life. I look back on what could have happened with surgery that went wrong and get chills that I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Quaroni be the one who worked on me and helped me through that ordeal. Thank you to him and his practice!

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!

The best surgeon! My daughter was referred to Dr. Quaroni by her orthodontist and she had 8 teeth removed successfully. Excellent bedside manner, he explained everything to me and my daughter and was very attentive to her needs. I highly recommend him!

I have had more than my fair share of dental work (crowns, veneers, implants) and I can honestly say that Dr. Quaroni is one of the best, if not the best I have ever experienced. Great bedside manner, made sure I was 100% percent comfortable, made sure I was 100% informed on what was going to take place and a genuinely nice guy.

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.

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.

My dentist referred me to Dr Quaroni and am grateful for the referral. When I arrived for my first appointment the receptionist greeted me immediately and made me feel welcome to be there. I was called in to the room within 5 minutes of arriving and the tech was friendly and described what she was doing while taking x-​rays/​images of my mouth.
Dr. Quaroni greeted me and made me feel that my care was genuinely important to him. He discussed my options with me and made recommendations. His demeanor was very friendly and he wanted to make sure I was comfortable with what we will be doing. With the crazy state of today’s health care I feel pretty lucky to have found a great Dr. that I can depend on giving me quality care!

Dr Quaroni was friendly and answered all my questions prior to the procedure. Put any doubts (and fears — I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out at the same time) to rest. Front office also very communicative. No pain and post surgery care (questions about meds, etc.) was great. I wouldn’t have had it done with any other oral surgeon.
With so many on my dental network coverage it was difficult to choose, but thanks to all you fellow Unilocalers, I found Dr. Quaroni. Thank you very much!

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!

The absolute BEST dentist/​oral surgeon that I have ever encountered, the second most unhelpful with insurance (Castle was worse), and the least compassionate. Return visits appeared to be not so much for checkups as for selling additional procedures. Just my opinion. Five-​plus stars for technical dentistry; I can ignore the compassion; no stars for insurance help; and no stars for office staff who appeared to be obstructive and hostile but may have been merely incompetent. Sorry, doc. That’s the way it was. I hope you can improve.

Just had a surgical extraction from Dr Quaroni a few days ago. Top notch work. Zero issues. Highly recommend.

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.

Dr Q is an amazing oral surgeon!!! He’s so nice and gentle you don’t even realize he’s given you the shots! Next thing you know, your numb! You cannot ask for a better surgeon. If only all dentists were this fabulous!

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.

I’ll start this by saying I have an irrational fear of going to the dentist. I have not been to the dentist in ages without laughing gas. Due to being pregnant, I can’t have it and was really nervous. Dr. Quaroni was THE BEST! Very calming and made sure I was doing ok through the entire process. It was painless! His staff is outstanding and attentive as well. Every single person I talked to was so pleasant and accommodating and they made the process super easy. His assistant was awesome and so so nice and attentive! Me being a coward, I got super shaky in the chair and teary eyed and she was so sweet! They really put me at ease and I highly recommend! One of the best dental experiences ever!

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.

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.

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 50^th 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.

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…

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.
