My dentist recommended that I see Dr. Vilardi. I gave him a list of oral surgeons that are in my plan and he told me he golfs with them all but Mario is the only one he would let work on his mouth. That was enough for me. I went in for a consultation and made the appointment. My gums are receding so I needing some grafting done in my mouth, a painful procedure. He does not take insurance up front which may be a problem for some. He is super friendly, almost like you are coming to see your uncle I swear, just a nice warm Italian guy. Needless to say, I have the surgery, get the pain killers and go home to expect the worst after the meds wear off. To be honest I was fine. I went to work the next day and my co workers were amazed that I was there AND without the pain killers I might add. Three people wrote down his name for the future since they heard how painful the surgery is supposed to be and I was there in no pain the next day. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Vilardi for any type of oral surgery. I just noticed that his picture is added here, he looks like your long lost Italian uncle too don’t you think?
