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.

What a terrible experience with Dr. Malecki. I have been a long time patient (almost 10 years!). I had a dental emergency today and I gave him a call to see if he could help. I received a call back from him and he told me to come on by the office. I live 5 mins away and hopped RIGHT in my car, as I am driving I get a call from him at 12:47PM asking if I had called (Im thinking to myself, what is this guy smoking?) and I tell him yes I will be there in 5-10 minutes and I would see him soon. I pull into the parking lot at 1:01PM and see the doors are locked. So i call the office several times and even try his cellphone trying to figure out where he is. After 25 minutes of sitting in his lot like a fool, I call his cellphone and he picks up to tell me he had to leave for a 1:00 doctors appointment.WHAT!?? You didnt mention that when we talked at 12:47!??. Dr Malecki then told me that he "tried calling me" to tell me to come in on Monday and I can file my tooth down with a NAIL FILE?!!What

If I could rate him a zero I would . Stay as far away from this dentist. I went to him for two crowns. I have my reservations the first time I saw him, he had bad breathe. I let that go I wanted to giver him a chance. The tech put so much adhesive on the first crown they needed dental pliers and the drill to get it off in pieces, my jaw was black and blue for a week. A week after a week of the tooth hurting the second crown fell out. I went to a different and after he took x rays he said he never should have put a crown on tooth, there is not enough tooth there to hold the crown on. He also said there was quite bit of decay still left on the tooth and he probably left it so it had something to hold on to, but that would given me problem soon. My new dentist and myself called his office to see if I could get some of the money back and his response was he was paid for the work he preformed so sorry no. I would trust this dentist.

This is an amazing office. Scheduling appointments is a breeze. There always very nice and are great with kids. Last time I was there I had bleaching trays made and they were ready before my cleaning was even over. There really great.
