Fantastic experience: This guy is great, he knows what he’s doing and he can soothe your concerns while he’s doing it!! Go to him for your care!!
Fantastic experience: First off, I was greeted personally by name when I came into the office! Then, the associate that preformed my teeth cleaning was so polite, gentle, and thoughtful throughout the exam and cleaning that I was very relaxed throughout the procedure.(I have had some spinal fractures in the past and sometimes I am nervous as the chairs are adjusted by doctors and dentist, alike). I origionally explaind this to Dr. Malecki and some of the staff in the past... so that now, all I need to do is to give them a gentle reminder and then relax in the chair knowing, "they got this!"
Fantastic experience: Dr Malecki is great and he has a great staff.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional office staff. I travel from Oak Park to see Dr. Malecki. More knowledgeable than any dentist I’ve seen in last 20 years.
Fantastic experience: I am the type of person that likes to know what's going on as I'm getting it done. This is the first dentist office I've ever been comfortable at. They explain things and if im confused they reexplain and I always leave learning more about not just my teeth but what they do as well. The biggest bonus is, when he says "this won't hurt," "quick pinch," "this'll be quick," he's right and that has never happened for me anywhere else. Extra bonus is there is never a long wait and im always called back within 5 minutes if my time.
Fantastic experience: Malecki is the man! Admittedly, I don't go to the dentist often. I'm one of those people who only goes there when I have a problem. The first time I went to Malecki I had a wisdom tooth that I waited too long to have removed and it caused my entire both to get infected. That issue required 2 visits. On the first visit, Malecki prescribed me a pain killer and also something to kill the infection. He said he couldn't yank the tooth until we got rid of the infection. It took a few days, but what he prescribed me did work and kill the infection. Then, on visit 2 he removed the tooth with no issues at all. Now, on my most recent visit, I have a broken tooth that I was afraid might need to be removed. Dr Malecki took a look and said he could repair it. He cleaned up the broken area with a little grinder and then filled it in with resin composite. It was cheaper, easier, and less painful than having the tooth removed.... So, of course I'm happy. I've only used him for those 2 issues, but both times he's taken care of the problem, so what more could you ask for. Thumbs up.
Fantastic experience: Job well done, great dental office.

There are good dentists out there, but if u want a great one that actually cares about his patients, then u need to go see him. Thank u especially for the time and patience u showed my hard of hearing 87 year old mother it meant the world to me and even my mother really liked the man, so again thank u sir
