Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Mr Luke Cascarini is an excellent surgeon with extremely good patient outcomes. He provides his patients and colleagues a first class service and has built a national and international reputation within oral and maxillofacial surgery. He remains approachable and receives great patient feedback. Mr Cascarini has a practice that includes the full remit of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and is a highly regarded head and neck and reconstructive surgeon. In addition to this he is considered a national leader on TMJ ( jaw joint) surgery and as a testament to this receives regular referrals from other experts in the field. Through this work he has helped numerous patients who were previously considered to have permanent jaw pain, return to normal function and diet.
I have known Mr Cascarini for over a decade now going back to the training days. He is now a leading Consultant in Maxillofacial surgery. I refer him patients regularly in his area of expertise. He has always responded very quickly and I get very good feedback from the patients that I refer him. I would highly recommend Mr Cascarini.
