These patients were once superbly cared for by Dr Joseph Paino's predecessor -: Dr Peter Finch, who originally located the dental practice on the corner of Burke and Toorak Roads, Melbourne. Dr Peter Finch always aimed to save teeth in the days when many others lost their teeth. Dr Joseph Paino has continued this caring philosophy and through word-of-mouth has retained many of those patients and their families over several generations.
