Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Find another dentist
Dental hygienists have tried to sell me Invisalign (I was 62 at the time) and gum grafts (that I don't need). I am certain that there is some commission they receive if I said OK. They were more focused on selling me than cleaning my teeth. Staff is different any time I had an appointment. I haven't had the same dental hygienist since I started with them - I was told they retired, but don't believe it. There was a very good hygienist and I scheduled my next cleaning with her but when I got there I had someone else though she was working. She is gone now as well. I had two mystery dentists look and work on my teeth - they introduced themselves as doctors, but when I checked the picture of his staff (no longer on site), he is the only dentist. I thought more dentist were joining practice. I was a patient of Dr. Santise and he was a great dentist. Dr. Malek is trying to be a great salesperson. Get a second opinion.

Dr. Malek is the best dentist I've ever had and I've seen a few in my time! He's got a great light touch during all procedures, especially numbing injections, and is constantly aware of my pain levels. He also took the time to explain all my options, alternatives and every procedure. He is very knowledgeable of old and new techniques in dentistry. He is also very professional with a caring demeanor and has a naturally pleasant personality. I would recommend Dr. Malek to everyone.

when dr malek took over for my retiring dentist he immediately tried to convince me to get a crown installed where I previously had a tooth removed. then he insisted on x rays of all my teeth before having his office staff got approval from my insurer as he is out of network, then he made me wait to have my fillings done from my initial checkup until he got x rays of my entire mouth. My insurer declined it even though they cover out of network and I got stuck with a huge bill. not happy
