I love Dr. Malin and her staff. I feel that I always receive the best treatment when I go and presented with all choices and options for potential treatment plan. My children are not afraid of the dentist and look forward to going and hearing how well they are taking care of their teeth. I would absolutely recommend Smiling Patient Dental Care to anyone needing a referral.

About Hygienist: Joanna was excellent and provided me with good information around treatment for my teeth and gums.

Patient Review 3:

I've always had good experiences with Dr. Malin, however, the last two times I went to the office, I was seen by the new dentist, Dr. Mayya. The quality of service does not compare, and both times, I feel like Dr. Mayya was trying to sell me products. If it wasn't an electric toothbrush, it was teeth whitening strips, and even braces. Coincidentally, all things they sell at the office. I don't need an electric toothbrush or teeth whitening strips because I already have those, and I don't need braces solely for cosmetic reasons. So, Dr. Mayya, please stop trying to sell stuff to the patients who went in to see Dr. Malin! I have recommended Dr. Malin to others in the past, but am apprehensive to do so now due to Dr. Mayya working in the same office.

Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 5 years.

Reply by Dr. Malin

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of your experience. Dr. Mayya is a fantastic doctor who has been with our office for years. Dr. Malin and Dr. Mayya share a common philosophy.

Our office recommends products and services we believe will benefit patients' health and smiles. Most patients do not know what products and services are available to help them achieve the smile they want. We educate and inform patients and it's up to them to decide if it's something they wish.

Patient Review 4:

I was so afraid of the dentist and had not been in over 5 years when I went to Dr. Malin. Her entire staff helped me through my fear and while I don't love going to the dentist, I do love going to see them. Everyone truly loves what they do and the are always smiling and VERY helpful!

About Hygienist: Joanna is AWESOME! I had to switch hygienists because my first one moved. It was very hard for me AND Joanna made the transition easy for me!

My entire experience with Smiling Patient Dental Care has been great! The staff and the service are top notch. I would not change my dentist for anything in the world. Dr. Malin is very gentle and I've never had any problems with pain during or after the treatment. Dental work is really unpleasant, but Dr. Malin and her staff made it such a nice experience for me. Thanks a lot for everything Beata, Alex & Dr. Bianca Malin.

My kids enjoy coming here be it my appointment or theirs. In fact, even if it's their siblings, they insist on tagging along. My 6 yr old had a cavity and I was worried she may be in pain during the procedure. I didn't even hear a peep from her and was just in the chair relaxing while Dr. Malin works her magic... I have closer dentists in my area well within walking distance but I don't mind my 15-20 min drive for a great dentist plus great staff. They will make you feel comfortable and get the job done. BTW, I like coming here too..Thanks for a great service..

Patient Review 26:

In all my 76 years, Dr. Malin has become my most favorite dentist. She is such a friendly, calm, and genuine person that I feel very comfortable with her. She was referred to me by my fiance who has also received excellent treatment from Dr. Malin. The procedures she provided were two front teeth porcelain crowns and one lower gold crown. And recently, I received the 6 month cleaning service. The office itself is very clean, comfortable and a pleasure to visit. Because of the discounts offered, the cost was less than my previous dentist's charges. Dr. Malin and Alex went out of their way to make sure I received my crowns permanently placed before I left for a trip last year. They wanted to make sure I was comfortable. Although my last dentist was good, it was so great to have Dr. Malin's "small hands" working in my mouth, as opposed to bigger ones.

All the support staff are also terrific and "smiling" suits them one and all. No one has ever been anything but nice and cheerful.

Yes, I have, and will continue, to recommend Dr. Malin to others.

About Hygienist: Joanna was also thorough and gave me some good tips on keeping gums in good shape.

This is by far THE BEST dental experience that I have ever had! The staff is so friendly and extremely efficient! I actually want to go back and have all of my issues addressed, which is extremely rare for me! Everyone in the office made me feel so comfortable and seem genuinely concerned about my well being! Dr. Malin's bedside manner is wonderful! I highly recommend this practice to anyone that has fallen off of the dentistry bandwagon!

From the moment I walked in I was treated with the utmost respect and with a refreshingly friendly attitude from the entire staff. They were very concerned about making sure I was comfortable and that I got all my questions answered. If you are scared or dredding your long overdue visit to the dentist for one reason or another I would definitely recommend Dr. Malin's office.

About Hygienist: Dr. Bakman actually performed by x-ray review, inspection, and cleaning. She was extremely gentle and brought a smile to my face. She wanted to make sure I received a thorough cleaning so she took extra special care when moving from tooth to tooth. Absolutely the best experience by far.

Good from the moment you walk in. Staff is all super, and it's the most pleasant dental office I've ever been in. There are thoughtful touches everywhere in the office that make a visit so much nicer. Even the aromatherapy and thoughtful supplies so you can freshen up score points. Dr. Malin is precise and delicate with her work and it''s really a blessing when you need some major attention. Just so much better with nice new state of the art equipment! She's not right in my neighborhood, but well worth the drive. Her assistant is also first-rate. Glad I found such a capable team.

Dr. Malin and her team work seamlessly together, anticipating and attending to your needs, and most of all, providing expert care and service as if you're one of the family. As an example of their extraordinary level of service, Alex Malin picked me up in his car from the specialist (to whom Dr. Malin had referred me) so I could return to their office to finish the procedure. A couple of days later, someone from the office called me to make sure everything was OK. They do these things not just to comply with good management practices, but because they really care.

I have been to numerous area dentists when my husband's total-dental coverage was in place because they kept changing care providers. I had grown used to more impersonal care. After he retired I came here to the dentist who previously had this office. When Dr. Malin replaced him, it was a very good day in my life, sort of like "coming home". Dr. Malin is thoroughly competent but her professional competence is combined with a lovely, warm caring personality. I am totally pleased with this dentist as well as with each of the members of her staff with whom I have interacted in the past, from the people behind the desk to the hygienists. This office is staffed by a lovely group of people.

About Hygienist: Today's hygienist (forgot her name....she is welcoming her son Jackson within 6 weeks) made the appointment time past both swiftly and pleasantly. She is totally proficient in what she does and totally pleasant to be with.

Dr. Malin cares a lot for her patient's comfort. During any procedure, she will ask multiple times if everything is OK to ensure there is no pain. She is also a very good professional. All the dental work she has done for my family for the past 5 years has been very well done. The customer service this dental office provides is amazing! You get reminders about your upcoming appointments. You are welcomed with smiles when you get to the dental office. You are offered water when the dental work is done. You get a goody bag at almost every appointment. To summarize, I have always had an excellent experience with Dr. Malin's practice.

I've never felt as much at ease with a Dentist as I do with Dr. Malin. I admire how thorough that she is and the pride that she takes in her work. She listens carefully to me and I never feel like just another patient. She always makes me feel like an individual and always listens to any concerns or questions that I might have. Above all, Dr. Malin is very gentle. She maintains a constant awareness of me while she is working on my teeth and can generally tell if I am uncomfortable. She always does everything she can to make me feel at ease. She's a master of her work and a wonderful woman. I will never give her up as my dentist.

I would recommend her with the highest regards.

Every time I go they are wonderful and attentive. They make sure I know what they're doing and that all my questions are answered. They have even gone out of their way to accommodate me on extremely short notice.

I highly recommend them to others.

I am always pleased with the service provided by Dr. Malin and her associates. I especially like the competence of Joanne. My teeth always feel squeeky clean following her cleaning. What can I say about Alex....he is so accommodating and eager to please the patient. In the past I always felt axiety regarding dental visits. That is not the case with this practice. Dr. Malin is an awesome doctor. I highly recommend her service to all. She goes above and beyond in making her patients feel welcome and valued. Thank you for your excellent service. Joyce C. Sweeney

THEY ARE JUST AWESOME!!!! They really strive to make sure that you are in pain. They have the laser instead of the drill...which is truly amazing and even a TV that you can watch!!! Alex is THE BEST with children...he is GREAT at keeping them entertained while my procedure was being done...I'll never forget him making the best animal sounds to my twins!!! When he "moos" and "oinks" he REALLY "moos" and "oinks' which made for a REALLY captive audience...from me too!!!!

About Hygienist: WONDERFUL!!! ALL OF THEM!!! Maybe a bit too gentle for in my old age I am used to having my teeth cleaned by old Army dentists.

Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 5 years.

I never have to worry when I visit Dr. Malin. Insurance claims are handled directly by her office and any questions I have, they are willing to assist in getting the correct data from the insurance company. I feel as if I'm visiting friends rather than my semi annual dentist visit.

About Hygienist: I'm always treated well. The hygienist is always pleasant and friendly (as is the entire staff). I no longer avoid my cleanings!

Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 5+ years.

I waited for this long to post a review, coz I wanted to make sure that the kind of service they provided first time persisted. And I am happy that it has. I have been there 5-6 times now and every time they meet my expectations. They do not double book which is one of the best things I like. They are hospitable and quite professional in their work. I accidentally discovered them on net and decided to try based on the excellent reviews posted. But I am glad, that I did. Overall, no hidden surprises.

Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 9 months.

I got lucky, by checking this website and not knowing what I was doing, other than perhaps looking for Drs schooled at good colleges and reviewed well, I lucked upon Dr Malin. She's is absolutely up to date on the most currently treatments, and is conservative in her approach to the work that needs to be done. I left feeling like I hit the jackpot, and considering the fact that I cry through my first appointments, this one as well, that's a lot to say. I feel like I'll have my teeth forever and they are in good hands.

About Hygienist: The hygienist could not have been kinder, more knowledgeable or more patient.

Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: never before.

Patient Review 79:

I went for a free evaluation to see if Invisalign was a valid option for me. I was very skeptical at first and thought the the overwhelming positive reviews might be the product of the office staff. I now see that after the appointment, patients receive an email and are asked to rate the Doctor and her staff . I am pleased to say that the staff is every bit as good as their reviews. They are very affable and attentive. I was offered a new magazine and a cold bottle of water while I was waiting. Dr. Malin is very knowledgeable and gave me a complete and honest evaluation. She examined each tooth and the surrounding gum. An assistant took notes and entered them on a computer. After a thorough evaluation, she referred me to an orthodontist and recommended traditional braces.

About Hygienist: I decided to stay for a cleaning. The hygienist, Joanna, gave me the best cleaning I have every had while I looked up at lighted picture panels through the sunglasses she provided for me. She gave me a "Goody bag " containing an Oral B toothbrush, crest toothpaste and floss. After my cleaning, Alex handed me a print out of my insurance benefits and answered some questions. All the little extras add up to one very pleasant experience. I was very impressed. This is the "A Team!"
