Dr. John A Marino, DDS

Dr.Marino is by far the best dentist . His expertise and years of experience along with caring for his patients sets him apart .

John Marion is arrogant and greedy for money. He will try to talk you in to spending unnecessary money and will do everything he can to prolong your time in braces while he lines his pockets with your money. Now, years after my time as his patient, I have permanent damage and scars throughout my mouth. I have spoken with other people I've known to have braces and all of them are appalled to hear of the damage to the tissue in my mouth. I couldn't get Marino to complete my process of having braces because he kept prolonging the process and charging more as he went. After years and years of him scamming me and my family, we had to leave as we had seen no progress and the damage to my mouth was so profound I could no longer bear it. Luckily I found another orthodontist who took care of me and had me out of braces after a year, causing me no pain and charging me way less, while also leaving me with a perfect smile. I wish if only I could get back the immense amount of time and money… lost to Marino, but he is too arrogant to ever admit his faults and is too greedy to ever give back after taking so much.

I have been a patient of Dr. Marino for thirty years. I was diagnosed with TMJ and another dentist charged me $500. and did nothing for me. I felt better as soon as treatment began. Although I have moved 800 miles away, I have floen back and forth for veneers and implants. I do not trust anyone else for my dental care.y dental care.

As a kid I was taken to Marino's office for braces. He popped braces on my teeth at the young age of 10 while I still had some baby teeth. He had the braces so I only had brackets on my 4 top front teeth and a wire bent up with a sharp edge that pushed against my gums until the wire bent down to connect to one of my back molars on each side. It's hard to explain but where the wire bent up with the sharp edge constantly dug into my inner lip leaving massive holes that got bloody and infected. To this day I still have flabs of skin on my inner lip that hang (and this was almost 10 years ago) so I am scarred for life from his braces. John Marino showed no concern about this though and continued with me having braces only on my top 4 teeth for a long while. During that time he decided he wanted to take out my baby teeth without any warning (or anesthesia) or notification to me or my mother so he just came in and got his nurses to hold me down and stuck a device in my mouth that would tear… my teeth from my gums. I cried but he didn't care that these teeth weren't ready to come out, he yanked out at least 4 of them that day and I'll never forget what it was like to literally have a mouthful of blood as I cried. Then at one point he put a wire connecting my two back molars across the top of my mouth, and again showed no concern when that wire dug into the top of my mouth. I still have an scar from that wire where the roof of my mouth had swollen up so bad from the wire digging leaving a huge indent. Suffice to say after a few years of his treachery we left with no results and had to see another orthodontist. Three years with him literally did nothing but cause me immense pain and horror and then as soon as we switched I had a full mouth of braces off in a year pain free with perfect teeth. John Marino is money hungry and manipulative and has not a care for the comfort of his patients. He will lie and keep telling you he needs more time and he will keep draining your wallet while he purposefully doesn't make progress in your mouth and just keeps you in braces as long as possible to make more money. If he had it his way I would have been in braces for 10 years just to make more money.
