Dr Malkami, his staff Janet and office team are perfection. DR Malkami explained EXACTLY what was wrong with my tooth roots and what was needed. Ive had multiple root canals and was dreading the long process and pain. NOT WITH DR M! He simply numbs the tooth treatment area, not full jaw, his numbing technique is so gentle. He then proceeded with my root canal. IT WAS COMPLETELY PAINLESS. COMPLETELY. And took less then an hour with no pulling , tugginng and having to put my neck in bad positions! I cannot recommend Dr M and his team enough! Go in for a consult and see. His friendly, and makes it actually fun! Ive had two now and need to go back for a redo from a prior dentist. Its easier then a new crown!

I went in terrified I was so scared of getting my root canal done. Dr. Malkami was so nice. He talked through the whole thing in an effort to relax me. I felt nothing! There was no pain at all whatsoever. If you are scared of the dentist and have to get a root canal done go to Dr. Malkami. He will make sure you are comfortable and completely at ease. Thank you Dr. Malkami.

I had an emergency root canal here in 2017 due to a crack in my tooth from an almond months prior. I still remember to this day how smoothly it went. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the procedure didn't take long at all. I'm very thankful for the wonderful staff and excellent provider that took care of my tooth and alleviated my pain. It was hard for me to focus on daily tasks and I didn't realize I had a raging infection. Lesson learned! Thanks!

Dr. Malkami is the kindest, most competent dentist I have ever been to. He really made me feel at ease prior to and during the procedure. A root canal was completed in about 40 minutes with absolutely NO PAIN! If you MUST have a root canal you MUST visit Dr. Malkami.

Dr. Malkami has done quite a few of my root canals and he is so quick and talks to you to make you feel comfortable. I have terrible anxiety and h eases my fears. He also gets me in pretty quick some times same day! Thank you!

I have severe dental anxiety and on top of that, I was not thrilled to go for my first root canal during a pandemic! But Dr. Malkami was amazing. He let my husband stay in the exam room throughout my procedure to help comfort me and quickly found something to chat with him about. I listened to their conversation and it calmed me down very well. The root canal itself was practically painless - only a brief moment where Dr. Malkami specifically checked to see that I was numb and, when I wasn't, he gave me more novocaine. I felt better leaving that root canal than I sometimes do leaving a routine cleaning appointment. Dr. Malkami is truly amazing!

From scheduling to treatment, this office is A+++++++. Dr. Malkami is funny, kind, and a very skilled Endodontist. He came in to treat me on his day off! I loved how he explained each step of the process to me as it was happening. His office is state of the art with all the new technologies to make your root canal as seamless (so fast!) and painless as possible. Not many doctors will take the time to thoroughly educate their patients so that they can feel confident about their health. Thank you, Dr. Malkami!

I visited Dr. Malkami today in complete distress and panicked about having this root canal. He completely talked me through it, didnt rush, gave me time to deep breath through it and successfully put my mind at ease while performing a pain free experience. He really is brilliant and is highly recommended. Also, his staff is pleasant (which is rare in our MD and DS world today). They we helpful and all smiles. Two thumbs up.

Dr. Malkami comes highly recommended by me. I think this is the best Endodontist I've seen. He is also very funny which helps when you really don't want to be here. Good luck!
