I had a pain free filling done by Dr.Malcolm. Going to the dentist is not a favorite thing for me to do but all considering, I have no complaints. Even the injection ( I am terrified of them) was pain free! Way to go Dr. Malcolm. You're a keeper!

I have had to have 2 bridges replaced recently. The second one involved an over 4 hour appointment to remove the old and put in temporary. Dr Malcolm and Toni made sure I was comfortable during the extensive work. The atmosphere in the office is pleasant and professional. As the patient, I feel Dr's drive for perfection. Jasmine in reception is also very nice and helpful.

After having bad experiences with dentists in the past, I was forced to go to the dentist because of a severe abscess. I decided to give Dr Joan Malcom a try. She was great. She was very caring and gentle, the office was clean, and her staff including the receptionist, was awesome and friendly. Great experience!

Overall good first experience with this dentist. Dr. Malcolm and her staff were friendly and welcoming. They were understaffed/over-scheduled with hygienists so Dr. Malcolm herself did my cleaning, which is a first, I've never had a dentist perform a cleaning before. Office is clean, and bright, only thing I wasn't a fan of was the loud spa music, it was hard to hear when Dr. Malcolm or her staff were talking to me. Good service overall, I'd recommend.

This was my first visit with Dr. Malcolm and her team; what a welcoming group and pleasant office environment. Both Dr. Malcolm and the hygienist were very thorough, and I felt like I received excellent care. I use a wheelchair and the staff were very accommodating - the office is fully wheelchair friendly. I have medical issues, and in my 50+ years have never had a doctor ask me to sign a release to consult with primary doctor until today. Further, Dr. Malcolm wanted me to consult with a specialist about gum issues before proceeding with expensive procedures for implants. So glad we chose Dr. Malcolm for our dental care.

I hadn't been to a dentist in many years, and when I did I the experience's weren't good ones. The people at Bright Smile's made me feel comfortable and at ease with every visit and procedure. I'm fortunate to have heard of them word of mouth. It's unfortunate that it's taken me this long to get the necessary work done. I wish I had gone there much sooner.

Dr. Malcolm and her staff are so wonderfully accommodating! I have severe dentistry anxiety. Although it was difficult for me to relax during my crown procedure, Dr. Malcolm and her staff stayed as professional as ever. They helped me throughout the entire procedure and were so patient. They are always efficient and genuinely kind; I could not thank them enough for taking the time to work with me! Also, my tooth felt completely fine the next day Good job Dr. Malcolm!
