02/01/2016 I have been going to Dr. Malkemus for about 9 years, or so. I chose him, after moving back into the area, because my previous dentist office did not offer conscious sedation and he was also planning to retire.
I have always had issues with my teeth, and for that reason a dentist is lucky to have me- I've had to shell out a lot of money. On that score, I did initially compare Dr. Malkemus with a couple of other dentists in the area, price wise. He was neither the least or most expensive. More importantly, the extensive work that I needed was performed with care and to my satisfaction. It is all holding up perfectly. This includes repair/replace broken caps and repair of sunken old metal fillings, a root canal, preparation and aftercare for 3 implants required (no permanent teeth after loss of primary teeth). I was steered clear of having the fourth one done since the primary tooth is holding strong and problem free.
I actually credit Laura, the dental hygienist with my (still new to me) continued and current dental health. She did everything she could think of (rinses, flosses, dental irrigating device, etc.) to get me up to snuff with at-home care. For cleanings, we used various methods to make me comfortable (to say that I was scared is an understatement): sedative, numbing agents, plastic planer... These days, I need none of that. It's been a long road, but I'm finally the person who leaves a routine cleaning and check up with a good report for a good 6 years + now. Because of this, I hardly ever see Dr. Malkemus anymore, and it's very brief when I do.
This office, and everyone in it, has truly been good to me. They are kind, concerned, helpful and respectful and they never give up on me, even though they have to attempt to contact me time and again to come in for my checkup and cleaning twice a year. Old habits and fears die hard!

10/20/2015 Dr. Malkemus and team - This was great = I needed to see the dentist in a hurry with a crown that had come off. An early appointment was arranged, the care was excellent, the emergency resolved and the plan for the next steps agreed upon. Many, many thanks to the entire team for making this happen!

This is the kind of service I have always received from Dr. Malkemus and his team,

09/19/2015 I am extremely fond of my dentist, Dr. Michael Bird. During his convelesance my partner and I were sent to see Dr. Malkemus. I find Dr. Malkemus's staff is a great crew and really love them! There work is very good and as a "stand-in" for Dr. Bird, this is a great alternative.

Dr. Bird's office is open three days a week, currently. I am seeing Dr. Bowman. However, my temporary crown broke on a Friday. Dr. Bird's office doesn't open again until Tuesday. So, I went in and had another temp crown put on by Dr. Brow in Dr. Malkemus's office. Thanks, guys!
