    Dr Jaime Gateno is hands down the absolute best maxillofacial surgeon. He listens intently and is always ready to help and provide solutions to patients' problems.I will forever recommend him to all my friends and family.
  • Jul 13, 2026
    I was there for a one year post op visit. I have been very happy with my two jaw surgeries.
  • Jun 30, 2026
    Excellent expertise and knowledge of the field concerning my dental expectations. His communication of those expectations was excellent and understanding. I was very satisfied with our conversation and willingness to follow up with me in terms of the next steps.
  • Jun 16, 2026
    Dr. Gateno was thorough and personable. We discussed the issues with my jaw from my perspective over the past 20 years before he ever physically examined my jaw for himself. He continued to ask questions as he also made commentary on his findings during the exam. Then, once we had imaging available, he showed me what he had found that could not be seen externally. He reviewed the corrective procedures that would be taken, the modifications he would make with surgery, what recovery would look like, and the risks associated with it. He even discussed the percentages of those risks. For example, for my age range, having a 3% risk of infection. It was thorough, especially considering that surgery would still be a year out if I continue forward with treatment. He answered my questions with patient explanations, which I appreciated. I never felt like he considered my questions redundant, insignificant, or immature. He took them all at face value and addressed each of my concerns. I would definitely recommend this office based on today's visit. I feel confident in future treatment with Dr. Gateno due to his 34 years of experience and the environment of the clinic.

    I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Gateno and his personnel.
  • May 19, 2026
    Dr. Gateno was thorough in his explanation of why to wait several additional months to do surgery and talked with my son regarding his concerns.
