They took out all 4 of my Wisdom teeth, and did and amazing job at doing so ! Dr.Malek was awesome and did and outstanding job I was nervous and anxious but he knew what he was doing and so did his assistant who was helping with the procedure as well. He was through with his explanation of the procedure and I know I have found the dentist I want to stick with ! Would highly recommend if you have had any bad experiences in the past with dental work. They make you feel at home and feel good ! Thank you Ismile team !

I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Malek and from the moment I walked into the office to schedule the surgery I was treated with a high level of hospitality and bedside manner.
I have severe anxiety when it comes to anything dental, especially something like extractions. So finding a dentist that was going to take the time to understand my fears and explain everything in extreme detail without getting frustrated was very important to me. I was initially welcomed by Kenzie at the front desk with the most professional yet friendly customer service I have seen from any medical office

I have been frustrated by the quality of care I received here in having a crown replaced, being told my tooth might hurt for as long as 18 months but would eventually be fine. I eventually ended up at UCSF's Dental Clinic for full understanding of what has happened and informed I now need a root canal.

I needed to get in for an emergency treatment and stumbled upon iSmiles, while searching dentists in the area. The staffing team is very friendly and welcoming. Ended up needing a root canal, which was done quickly and attentively. The staff work efficiently, to the point and most importantly with care. I’m very happy I found this place :) also, the office therapy dogs are a huge plus and a win in my book.

Staff is friendly, dentist is a consummate professional, service is little on the frills and even less hassle. I visited them after having not seen a dentist in years. Within just a few visits I was back on top of my dental health. I suppose the “crown”-ing achievement would be the cap they gave me to replace an old plaster replacement of a front tooth I broke as a child. It’s a difficult job, but the moment they put it in my head I couldn’t tell it apart from my real teeth. Finding a good dentist is difficult, if you want straight answers and quality work, you’ll find it here.

If there was an option of Negative stars, this place -100! Update, this dentist has been "claiming and billed my insurance since the beginning " without My consent! After talking 20x with my insurance company they say he's been billing for -Supposively I now have "New Crowns" And Teeth implants!! And Many!
I don't have Any of these things, never had! Now my insurance won't pay for teeth cleanings or cavities due to the fake implant billing from Malek. **Please stay FAR away from this Malek FRAUD and the clinic FRAUD! They're All family and very aware

Let me start off by saying this, I went to a dentist in San Jose, prior to seeing Dr. Malek and his staff. I had 2 implants that were previously done with Dr. Can at Unident which 1 of them failed, only after two year's. I did my research on Dr. Malek prior to my visit. The moment I walked through the doors, I felt right at home. Between the great Doc, his daughter, Macenzie, his son, Connor, and his staff member, Sabrina...my emergency issues were not only dealt with, but all of my apprehension, (by useless dentists previously) were gone. Dr. Malek is kind, knowledgeable and he's extremely

Love this office! They diagnosed a crown I needed as well as multiple fillings, and able to complete all of the work in the same day! I REALLY appreciated the doctors kindness in working with my financial situation, as well as the friendliness of the staff. The quality of the work was a 10/10. My crown is fantastic, and feels perfect a day later. Very grateful for the doctor and his staff.

I wanted to get some work done here. I didn't even get to explain my dental situation before I was being asked for what type of insurance I had, and being explained that a mandatory teeth cleaning needed to be done before any procedure. I explained that I just had my teeth cleaned and that it was not necessary for my situation. Pretty simple solution for me. I'll take my business elsewhere.

I moved to Santa Cruz approximately a year ago and tried very hard to find a very good caring dentist. I went to a dentist in Santa Cruz with a tooth that was bothering me and that Dentist told me there was nothing wrong after only taking a couple of x-rays and charging me $115. Finally, that same area was really starting to hurt so this time I researched dentists in Santa Cruz and found Dr Malek, DDS had the best credentials and was also advanced dentistry. I went to his office Ismilespa off of Soquel on Mission St. I was welcomed by Dr. Malek's staff, Mackenzie, Connor and they made me

I am not a review writer. In fact this is my first one...EVER! Let me start by saying that the California Dental Network insurance which I purchased through Covered California SUCKS! I pay a monthly premium, but no dentists in my area accept it, or if they accept it they won't work on crowns that came from any other dentist.
Last Tuesday I was at my customer service job where my smile is part of my uniform. I went to lunch & as I bit down on a piece of pizza, I felt my front crown move. I stopped chewing & spit it into my napkin. Feeling my front tooth with my tongue, I realized

Thank you Dr. Malek and staff for giving me my smile back! I was self conscious about my smile since I was a teenager I HS. I broke my front tooth on a bus trip and every dentist I went to just sort of patched it up but after a couple of months it would look terrible and stained I hated it. Dr. Malek put a crown on it and it looks great. My husband… couldn’t even tell which one was the crown tooth. To my surprise I even got the crown the same day. Dr. Malek has a 3-D printer that made my new tooth in 20 minutes. I watched as he made the two have a perfect match to my real tooth on

I like the sunny, open and friendly atmosphere at this dentist office. I have several dental issues that Dr. Malek and his professional staff are helping me with. They were experienced with my insurance and let me know what everything would cost. I will also be bringing my family here for their dental needs. Thanks to everyone at this office for their kindness and positive dental experience.
