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!!

Elizabeth Rose Published on Google

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: 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.

Elizabeth Murphy Published on Google

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: Went in for a routine checkup and clean. The dental hygienist is the best! Not only is she thorough, she is extremely knowledgeable, deals with the specific requirements of a patient with precision and care, knows what to look for, and has a very nice personality, to boot! The dentist follows up afterward with a complete exam, with any needed recommendations. I’ve been going to this dentist for 30 years. Highly recommend. They stay up on the latest trends and follow through with pain free state of the art procedures.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Doctor Malecki for approximately 4 years. It was not a referral, but I noticed this office for sometimes when I was visiting the nail salon a few doors down. I decided to stop in to see if they took new clients and if they took my insurance and they did. From my first visit I have been Extremely happy with everyone there. The receptionist is the best and Doctor Malecki is gentle and funny. I have never felt more comfortable at any doctors office until I started seeing doctor Malecki and his associates.

Fantastic experience: Dr Malecki has been our family dentist for many, many years He has always been there when you need him. Even though my boys have moved out of the area, they drive a long distance just to see him. You have his private number in case of emergencies. There are lots of dentists out there but no one like Dr Malecki. He really cares about his patients and does great dental work!

Donna Loper Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over 35 years. His motto is we cater to cowards, which I used to be but as odd as it may seem I look forward to going to the dentist now. Friendly staff and Dr Malecki always has a funny story or 2. My sister was visiting from out of state and needed some dental work, she was impressed with Dr Malecki and staff and next time she visits she will make her dental appointments with him.

Fantastic experience: Never had a bad experience with Dr Maleckie. I had seen him years ago. He's the best dentist I have ever been to, I recommend him to anyone and everyone that needs to see a dentist. That's why I brought my own mother there the other day because I knew she would be in great hands and he does not try to up sell u on anything Dr Malecki tells u exactly what u need and most of listens to what u have to say and does what u want done.I totally trust him so that's why I brought my mother to him and anyone else can to. 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

Positive experience: Dr. Malecki is a great dentist. Explained everything that will happen on the next appointment. But the dentist hygienist, who took my FULL mouth x-rays was terrible. Rude.
