I do have a couple obvious issues with my gums. However, my gums do not bleed, they are not swollen and they are a healthy pink color. I did not accept that I was about to lose my teeth, but I was a bit concerned. I did not accept that I needed a deep cleaning as suggested by another at the price tag of $800!! I consulted with Dr. Malek and she was extremely honest!! She explained that yes, where I can see with my naked eye excessive gum recession, I need a graft, in fact in two different places. The rest of my gums were deemed healthy and I was told that I do NOT need deep cleaning. She did indicate that I need the work done, but she didn't try to scare me into thinking it has to be tomorrow, or even next month. She showed me WHY she thought my gums were in good shape in comparison to why I needed help in the other two areas. She told me that most definitely I need work done and not to wait for years because then she would not be able to fix it. The \\\"sooner the better\\\" and I agree!!

I was referred to Dr. Malek's practice for a bone graft. nAlthough feeling apprehensive, the friendly staff quickly put me at ease. When I met with Dr. M to evaluate my situation I found Dr. M's explanations matter-of-fact and thorough. She answered all my questions and checked to be certain I completely understood the recommended procedure and the entire course of treatment. At no time did I feel hurried or pressured. nThe outcome of my treatment could not have been better and I was delighted. Throughout I felt valued as a patient and respected as a person. nMy advice? Give Dr. M and her warm and friendly staff a call for gentle care and impressive expertise.nThank you to the entire staff - you all went above and beyond expectations!

Dr. Malek is a very special person. She is not only an excellent periodontist, but extremely intelligent and experienced. Dr. Malek is gifted with a high dose of compassion and displays enormous empathy for her patients. Even though my primary dentist highly recommended Dr. Malek, I must admit that I was dreading my procedure. Much to my surprise, I had nothing to worry about. I experienced no pain during the procedure or immediately afterward. Throughout my recovery during the days and weeks following the procedure, I was painless and my results are amazing. The staff at Malek Periodontics are warm, friendly, and highly professional people and I consider myself very fortunate to have been their patient. I give them ALL an A+ rating!!

My 13 year old son needed a frenectomy and I can honestly say this was the very best medical experience I have come across. The whole process was efficient and the entire team went above and beyond. Thank you Malek Periodontics!

I am impressed with the honesty and the lack of an oversell on procedures!! I had multiple opinions prior, some with concern and another with a "you are going to lose your teeth" if you don't spend thousands of dollars right now!!" I do have a couple obvious issues with my gums. However, my gums do not bleed, they are not swollen and they are a healthy pink color. I did not accept that I was about to lose my teeth, but I was a bit concerned. I did not accept that I needed a deep cleaning as suggested by another at the price tag of $800!!
