Patient Review 1:

Dr. Malin and her staff are the best ! They are very positive and genuinly concerned about your teeth and you! My kids love her as do my husband and I . Even our grandparents who have taken to the kids to appointments comment on how warm and welcoming everyone is. Highly recommend Dr. Malin even to the dentist phobics out there. She will ease your fears.

Patient Review 3:

Dr. Malin is the best dentist I have ever been to. She makes me feel very comfortable. She makes me feel like a friend not just a patient. She asks about my kids and how my wife is doing. She explains to me exactly what she is doing and answers all of my questions, even the stupid ones. The best way that I can explain how much I like her as my dentist is this, my family might be moving to the Rockford area. I want to try to keep her as my dentist. I am willing to drive an hour just to see her. Dr. Malin and her staff are the best!!!
About Hygienist: The hygienists are great. They are fast and thorough. They give me the same treatment that Dr. Malin does. They make me feel right at home.

Patient Review 4:

I have been going to Dr. Malin for more than 5 years and that says a lot. I'm fearful of dental work due to bad past experiences. Dr. Malin, Alex and the entire staff always make me feel completely comfortable. She ensures the work she and her team do is good. She has returned calls to me after hours and on days the office isn't even open. She is truely a gem of a Dr that I hope will remain in the area forever! Her equipment is the most up to date and she is very personable. I feel like I'm visiting with family/close friends opposed to a dental hygiene visit. Thanks to Dr Malin, Alex and the entire staff for all your efforts at keeping patients comfortable and happy!
About Hygienist: All the hygienists I've visited at Dr Malin's office have been excellent. They are quick with their work but still very personable, making you feel right at home. The office is always clean. All procedures are explained in full detail. A pleasant way to have your dental needs taken care of.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 5 + years.

Patient Review 5:

I, as a child remember the "old Dental office". I was dragged in by my mom, and dreaded every minute!! I hate needles, and still do!! The memories of the needles sitting in a glass gar next to the chair I sat in still haunt me.I have 3 sons, who are now adults. My oldest was the one who gave my Dr. Malin's phone number. This is a son who when he went to another dentist soacked his shirt in sweat. He told me "Mom, I have been going to Dr. Malin in Des Plaines, and I think you should really try her out. I feel like home when I am there". That was enough for me. I called , made an appointment, and I too felt so comfortable. The entire staff is awsome! ! I still hate needles, and pain, but Dr. Malin and her associates sure make you are as comfortable as possible.The office is top of the line. I have never been in such a comfortable atmosphere. They even have music you can listen to if want to relax. Trust me, for me it worked!!!THE BEST IN THE AREA!!!
About Hygienist: Great Job!! Once again, I hate going to dentist's. The girls are so nice and comforting.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 1 year.

Patient Review 6:

I had just moved into the area and Dr. Malin saw me right away to treat a surface cavity. She was quite excellant, she did a great job in setting expectations and managing any pain. She has the newest equipment and her staff is equally excellant, courteous and professional. I came back a week later for a cleaning and had a similarly great experience. Cost was quite reasonable as most was covered by my insurance plan.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 1 month.

Patient Review 8:

I haven't been to the dentist in 10 years and was hesitant about who I put my trust in, but the reviews on here convinced me to give Dr. Malin's office a try. I'm very glad I did. Everyone there immediately puts you at ease. And no one made me feel ashamed about how long it has been for me, they just want you to focus on going forward and building your health back up to where it should be.Alex does a great job of explaining what your treatment schedule is and he is awesome at explaining your dental insurance coverage.Dr. Malin is very nice and knowledgeable. She's careful not to cause pain or discomfort if she can avoid it.
About Hygienist: I'm impressed with the amount of work that the hygienists can do without the doctor having to step in. The hygienists (Julie & Joanna) are great and have already made a big difference in my smile. I had to go in for scaling & root planing over 3 visits and from the first two, I haven't been in pain or even much discomfort from either of the appointments. They have both been very gentle & friendly and genuinely interested in your progress.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 1 1/2 weeks.

Patient Review 10:

I hadnt been to the dentist in a very long time. Alex was very very reassuring when I called and made my appointment. All of the staff was very kind and very patient with me. I have a very sensitive gag reflex and they were all very kind and comforting helping me get my xrays and and cleaning. I had four teeth with soft spots and had to come back to have them cleaned and filled. Dr Malin was very nice and gentle, originally 2 appointments were made for the fillings, but she when she finished the first 2 she was very nice and went ahead and filled the other two so I wouldnt have to come again. I was VERy anxious and had calmed down enough so she could finish the work.
About Hygienist: Joanne really took along time with me and cleaned away every little bit of hardened plaque below my gum line. She was very nice.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: a few weeks.

Patient Review 11:

Dr. M is very laid back and doesn't make you feel like an asshole when telling you about the status of your teeth. She's straight up with out the nasty speeches. If you haven't been to the dentist in awhile and just dread having to go back this is the Dentist for you. I've been seeing her for over 2 years now, and I look forward to coming back! Alex takes care of the office admin, really cool guy, they have XM radio and will play the genre of music you want to hear while their hygienists take care of the cleaning. They have all the latest technology ... digital x-rays, laser decay removal, ultrasonic gum cleaning, and more. I would call this office a Gen Y dream.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 2 Years.

Patient Review 13:

I had been to 3 dentists in last 4 years. After visiting Dr. Malin, I found the dentist of my lifetime. I was amazed by the friendly staff and State of the Art Technology. All oher dentists I visited are scheduling so many patients, they have no time to examine general detail exam of each teeth and each gum even in the first visit. Dr. Malin is scheduling patient so she can give enough time to each patient. Superb staff and Great Doctor. I live 30 miles far but for this great service, I can go upto 100 miles. Dr explained each problem clearly and patiently. I was explained the cost and very reasonable also. It is trually "Smiling Patient Dental Care - The Smile Studio "
About Hygienist: The staff and Dr. Malin are very keen for hygenic condition. They follow highest standard and one can feel it.
Treatment Length with Dr. Malin: 2.

Patient Review 22:

I took a chance by just finding a dentist in my area that was on my dental program. Everybody likes to get a referral from a friend, I just wasn't having any luck finding anyone with a dentist in the area. Dr. Malin and her staff was so friendly, and had wonderful new equipment. I thought it was really cool that they have this digital photography that took an acurate picture of all the sections of my teeth and showed instantly on the screen. Dr. Malin and the dental assistant made sure they answered any questions or concerns I may have had. The office staff even reviewed my bill with me and showed me a run down of my dental plan. I had been dreading going back to a dentist after almost 2 years, but Dr. Malin's office made it a great experience, who do you know that goes to the dentist and comes home saying, wow, that was a great appointment.
