Dr. Santiago Palacio Gutiérrez is an oral, orthognathic, and maxillofacial surgeon graduated from the Universidad de Antioquia, with a focus on orthognathic surgery and comprehensive management of functional and structural alterations of the maxillofacial system. His practice encompasses procedures such as orthognathic surgery, mentoplasty, facial aesthetics, treatment of temporomandibular disorders, oral surgery, and implants — always guided by rigorous clinical judgment and personalized treatment planning. Beyond the procedure itself, what sets him apart is his approach to each case: he understands that behind every diagnosis there are questions, doubts, and even frustrations. For this reason, he dedicates meaningful time to clearly explaining what is happening, why it is happening, and what the best treatment options are. Many of his patients seek consultation for pain, bruxism, bite problems, or breathing difficulties, without knowing that the root cause may lie in the relationship between the maxilla, the mandible, and their function. This is where a comprehensive maxillofacial evaluation makes all the difference. His training includes advanced coursework such as a cadaveric facial aesthetic surgery course in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as training in diode laser applications in dentistry — complementing his surgical approach with modern and precise tools. Dr. Palacio Gutiérrez combines technique, science, and a personal touch so that his patients not only achieve functional and aesthetic results, but also feel understood, confident, and supported throughout the entire process. When you understand what is happening to you, you also make better decisions about your health.

    I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Santiago Palacio for the excellent care I received. From the very first consultation, he provided a clear, detailed, and highly professional explanation of my procedure, which instilled complete confidence in me. I especially want to highlight his compassionate nature, as he empathetically supported me during a time when I was experiencing pain and many concerns. Thanks to his support and dedication, the process was much smoother than I had anticipated. The post-operative follow-up has been impeccable, with constant attention to my progress and well-being. Without a doubt, he is a professional committed to his patients and delivers high-quality results. I wholeheartedly recommend his work.

    I had a very unpleasant experience during my wisdom tooth extraction. I was already crying because I was afraid of the procedure, and the dentist's attitude made me feel even worse. I believe that empathy and patience are essential in these cases, something I unfortunately didn't receive.

    I arrived with all my fears intact and left wondering why I had waited so long. Dr. Santiago explained each step before proceeding, without rushing, without making my questions seem silly. The botulinum toxin injection for my daytime bruxism didn't hurt as much as I had imagined, and what stayed with me most was the feeling of having been treated as a person, not just a procedure. If anything you read online scares you, talk to him first.

    I had a very good experience with the doctor. I went to the appointment to get Botox injected in the masseter muscle for bruxism. Before performing the treatment, the doctor took the time to explain everything to me in great detail and discuss the causes and how the problem works. It wasn't just a matter of arriving and applying the Botox, but rather we first had a thorough conversation about everything. During the consultation I felt very well taken care of and in good hands. The attention was very professional and personable. I definitely recommend him fully.

    Dr. Santi performed extraction of 4 wisdom teeth in a single appointment and I was truly very calm because I knew I was in expert hands and that he was capable of reacting in case of any complication. Additionally, I had a support team that was willing and attentive at all times. When the procedure began, I was a bit nervous about the pain, but it was really not painful at all, not even when applying the anesthesia. It was a really quick procedure in my case. Today, one day after having it done, my swelling and pain are minimal. It was so successful that if you asked me, I would do it again.
