MIchael J Paciorek Md's Online Review Report Card

I went to see Dr pacoirek to have a cyst removed on my lip. He did great work but the cyst persisted and he stayed with me through the whole ordeal. The whole team is personable and friendly and customer service oriented. Thank you so much!

Dr. Paciorek was amazing! I would 100% go here again and recommend it to everyone!

The doctor is scared of the pandemic which prevents him from treating his patients properly.

Dr P did my rhinoplasty about 4 years ago. He and staff were very friendly but I felt my concerns were not fully listened too before or after surgery. I explained my concerns and expectations and they were not met. My profile was barley reduced, I feel where he took off some of the hump so my nose is not smooth and with his recommendation of widening my nostrils made the tip of my nose much larger than before surgery. I was told they were working on putting up pictures of his work but 4 years later still nothing. I was also told they would keep in touch after we moved which hasn’t happened though my number and email has not changed. I still get their ads though. I would need to have another rhinoplasty to get me closer to my desired results and fix what he did so I am overall pretty disappointed.

Very knowledgeable. Did a great job on my deviated septum surgery back in 2014. Went to him for sinus issues and was able to diagnose a different problem. I would have still been suffering if it wasn't for him Thank you doctor Paciorek.

Great place and very professional...

Before Dr. Paciorek started dabbling in facial plastic surgery, he had an office in Auburn, NY where he was simply an ENT. He scheduled me for a deviated septum repair. By facial sonogram prior to my surgery there was an unknown object of some sort up just above my cheek bone in front of my ear. We discussed what that might be and he told me that he would “take a small piece of it” for further examination during my surgery and depending on what it was, we may need to schedule another surgery. This sounded reasonable to me and I agreed. On the day of my surgery, a Friday, I went to the surgical center for my deviated septum repair. I was not worried. My husband and daughter had both had the same procedure and woke in a reasonable amount of discomfort, however they were doing well and able to go home. The moment I began to wake in the recovery room, I knew that something had gone terribly wrong. I was in extreme pain, crying uncontrollably no matter the amount of morphine given to me, as soon as I started coming around again, all I could do was cry. My nose did not hurt, but the pain in my upper teeth and cheekbone was unbearable. The staff nurses, who I am sure were eager to go home on a Friday afternoon alerted the doctor as I was the last patient left and could not be discharged in that condition. He came to my bedside and asked about my pain, ie. where was my pain? I could barely talk, but I managed to tell him it was my upper teeth and cheekbone. I heard him tell the nurses that that made sense as he had spent a lot of time working in that area. He instructed them to give me more pain meds, (because he had to get me out of there).He also told me that he had done some extensive manipulation on the object we saw on the sonogram and we would discuss this on Monday in the office. What followed was a weekend from hell. Excruciating pain radiating through my upper jaw, cheek and ear all weekend. On Monday, he explained to me that I was in so much pain because the object in my cheek was a “misplaced wisdom tooth” that had apparently been there my whole life, but in order to figure out what it was, he had “had to” chip away at the encapsulation that my body had built around it over the years. I don’t believe I had given him that permission. He sent me away telling me I was healing well, even though I disagreed, I felt that the pain would eventually subside. With each office visit, he and his PA Rose Valentino assured me that I was doing well and while I was still experiencing incredible pain that was now also in my middle ear, they released me to go back to work. When I started to lose hearing in my ear, he told me that there was a fluid buildup in my eardrum and the only thing I could do about that was wait for it to go away. It nearly drove me crazy along with the pain I was still having. Three weeks after the surgery, on a Thursday afternoon, I was desperately searching for something to take my pain away, lortabs, Motrin, whiskey. I couldn’t take anymore. I decided to try to quiet my teeth with my granddaughters oragel. I put a good amount on my finger and started to rub it on the top teeth at the very back of my jaw, upon doing this, I discovered that the tooth that Dr.Paciorek had tapped away at for over an hour had continued to migrate after the surgery and was trying to make its way out between my back molars. The oral surgeon removed it for me the following day. When I told him what he had done, he never apologized. I’m a nurse, I was still unable to hear out of one ear when I returned to work. Our Pediatrician checked my ear for fluid and found none, he suggested that I go see an ENT in Ithaca for a second opinion. They saw me that afternoon. After an extensive exam, Dr Stromenger told me that my eustation tube was completely blocked with infection. He proceeded to remove “chunks of olive colored infection” from the eustation tube. During that appointment, I was diagnosed with 3 infections, bacterial, viral and fungal. I went home with 3 months worth of prednisone and antibiotics. I STILL have a deviated septum!!!

Dr Paciorek was supposed to do a nasal septum repair for me approximately 7 years ago and instead of repairing my septum, he dug around trying to figure out what turned out to be a displaced wisdom tooth in my cheek causing me weeks of severe pain and months of infection. By the way, the septum is still crooked!!!! Kelly Konecny Kkonecny46@ gmail.com

Dr. Paciorek is terrific. And Sarah his surgical coordinator is very helpful, she by far goes the extra mile from start to finish.

I am a registered nurse and saw Dr. Paciorek for Botox treatment. I also needed a second opinion bc I had Botox a few months ago by another doctor and I wasn’t happy with results. Dr. Paciorek listened to my concerns and talked with me one to one , like a real person ! I am very impressed with this doctor and his experience, manner , and genuiness. I will be going back, he is now MY Doctor! I give him 5 ++++++stars!
