FRIENDS PLEASE SHARE! I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS POST!!!! This man is incompetent and dangerous! I have suffered for 14 years because of a botched Deviated Septum surgery that he was supposed to do! Instead of doing what he had permission to do, he found something that interested him more, of which he had NO PERMISSION to do leaving me with unbearable pain for 4 weeks, 3 separate infections in my sinuses and aside from not fixing the septum as he was supposed to do, he did irreparable damage to my sinuses that no other doctor dares to try to fix for fear of making it worse!!!!! DON’T TRUST HIM TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!!! If anyone else has suffered at his hands, please contact me. He needs to be stopped! My quality of life has been severely compromised due to his incompetence!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Paciorek was very patient with me in addressing a lot of small and very specific problems I was experience. I was very picky and anxious about looking too different and had breathing problems that I wanted to fix as well and he did not leave out any details. His presence is calming and reassuring, especially during an anxious time like considering facial surgery.

Dr Paciorek and his entire staff are wonderful. I was made to feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. I knew I was in good hands from the very first consultation visit. Dr Paciorek is such a talented and caring doctor. I truly could not be happier with my surgery and for choosing this team of talented professionals !
