New in town wanted a Dentist close to home. I was actually turned away by the receptionist. She said that they have co-pays and other fees that would have to be covered if the insurance didn't pay. Ok, isn't that the norm? My insurance was pretty good. She assumed I would NOT be able to pay. How judgemental. I was appalled! As an Administrative Nursing professional for many years I was disheartened. I get the feeling judgement is the culture in this town (are people here living under a rock) The nerve!

I would give this place a 0 if I could. Very rude staff & the doctor is even worse. (The doctor & the receptionist didn’t place me on hold while talking about me, so I heard everything.) Terrible customer service, won’t take my daughter there again. Figures....the doctor has a 3.3 rating anyway.

Would NOT recommend. They told me at my last cleaning that I had zero cavities. A few weeks later I developed a tooth infection and had to get a root canal, which I got done at another dentist since Dr. M was on vacation. The new dentist took x-rays and found six other cavities, one of them large enough that it also might need a root canal. They said cavities that large do not develop over night, so I probably had them at least at my last 2 cleanings when Dr. M said both times they saw no cavities on the x-rays. I have also never received a proper cleaning from them. The new dentist gave me a very

A wonderful children's dentist for my family over several years .. patient and understanding, he makes the visits as easy as possible and takes a personal individual interest in each child .. we are very happy to have been referred to Dr. Malecz by friends of ours.

8 or so years later and I still have a traumatic fear of dentists directly correlated with my experience here. Dr. Malecz is not sensitive to patients experience or needs. Unfortunately, I have a small mouth (thanks mom and dad) and growing up, I ended up having a majority of my teeth extracted in order to ensure ample and adequate space in my mouth for my permanent teeth to grow in correctly. As a young kid, this experience isn't necessarily the most comfortable or welcoming--and Dr. Malecz made it that much ​worse. One time, he extracted 6 of my teeth instead of the 2 that I was told

Outstanding dentist for kids!
He performed a much needed double tooth extraction for my very nervous daughter without her even realizing it! We were amazed and extremely appreciative!
Thanks Dr Malecz!
Very helpful and friendly staff as well.

My two daughters ages 3 and 20 months and my 11 year old step son go to Dr. Malecz. The office is very kid friendly and everyone is so friendly. The assistants and Dr Malecz are very patient and great with the kids. I always recommend them to everyone.

He does phenomenal with my children. Works very well with them and very patient. If my children don't cooperate 3 and 5 year olds he is more than willing to give them time to calm down and reschedule.
