DDS — Associate Dentist
Dr. Marino was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in microbiology. He then returned to Dallas where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Texas A&M University College of Dentistry. Following graduation, Dr. Marino completed a two-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at UT Health San Antonio School of Dentistry. There, he received additional training in various complex oral rehabilitation services, including cosmetic and restorative dentistry, microscope-facilitated root canal treatment, IV sedation, dentoalveolar surgery, and implant reconstruction.
Dr. Marino is dedicated to continuing education, attending over 900 hours of coursework after dental school.
Dr. Marino was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry by his childhood dentists, Dr. Brian Collins and Dr. Jim Berry. Their kind and gentle demeanor made dental visits a stress-free, enjoyable experience. Dr. Marino strives to provide this same level of care and compassion to his patients.
“I chose to become a dentist because this profession allows me to make a positive impact on another person’s life on a daily basis. To be able to take away pain and help someone feel confident with their smile is a privilege.”

Outside of the office, Dr. Marino can be found playing in soccer leagues, fiddling on the guitar and drum kit, and reading about teeth. He and his fiancé Reena love going to concerts and trying all the great restaurants around Austin together.
Dr. Hauser and Dr. Marino share a commitment to comprehensive, patient-first care. Together they bring complementary expertise — from preventive and cosmetic dentistry to advanced implants and IV sedation.
Patients benefit from seamless continuity: both doctors collaborate on complex cases and are always available to discuss your care.
