I have been coming to Smiling Patient Dental for years. Dr. Malin is the best! She is never one to push any unnecessary treatments. She always does what is best for the patient. Highly recommend!

Completely dissatisfied with the quality of their work. Though the staff is friendly and professional, the quality of dental work is not good at all. This is my experience after I switched from my previous provider whom I was with for over a decade.

I try to not write negative reviews, especially on a small business, but my relationship with this office finally came to a breaking point. Without going into details, I am sorry I ever went to this dentist. Of course, I have no idea what your experience would be but, maybe you should consider going to a dentist with all positive reviews. I am now and wish I had from the start.

I was recommended SPDC by a friend's primary care physician. In the 1 1/2 years that I have been seeing them, the quality of care I have received has been exceptional. I had a number of procedures to get done (some at other practices on their referral) and Dr Malin advised and monitored me well through them. My dental health improved significantly after years of neglect.

I would like to make special note of the emergency appointments they allowed me when I had sudden and intense pain. They accommodated me on the same day even though it was somewhat near closing hours. Their staff (Dawn, Alex at the front desk) are always warm and friendly and it makes the prospect of dental work just a little less gloomy. They deserve the highest rating.

I have been a patient of Smiling Patient Dental Care for many years. I have never had a bad experience. Every employee they have is kind, friendly and knowledgable. You are well taken care of from the minute you walk in the doors to the time you leave. I would HIGHLY recommend Smiling Patient Dental Care for all your dental needs!

I have been going to SPDC for many years and am impressed by how much they care, how advanced their procedures are and how amazing their office is. Most recently my front tooth had a black spot and they made my smile look flawless. Visits are always enjoyable with tvs in every chair and I even got a blanket when I was cold. They know patients by name. It's just like going to family when you have any dental issues. I highly recommend this office.

Hi there. Of course I highly recommend and I'm writing to tell you Smiling Patient Dental Care is a place you leave your troubles at the door when you walk in. Listening to their advice about flossing I have not had a cavity for years. Visiting twice a year for over 10 years they truly care. They're concern for our teeth and mouth gives everyone in the room confidence everything has been done that can possibly be done to assure us our teeth and mouth are in good health for another 6 months. Thanks SPDC. Ken Miller

How can you make going to the dentist a pleasant experience? Go to Smiling Patient! From the moment you walk in you are greeted by their lovely staff; Dawn at the reception desk, (you can actually feel her smiling behind her mask!) Janetta and Melissa (2 of my favorite hygienist's) always making their patients feel valued and appreciated! Alex the office manager is always helpful with insurance matters and overall any questions you may have! Dr. Malin is simply the best dentist I've ever been to, and the best fit for me and our family!

We love smiling patient dental care. We recently Moved 30+ minutes away but o wouldn't take my kids anywhere else. They are the best! We tried over 5 "pediatric" specialty dentists and was not a fan of any of them. We love how they treat my children (4 and 3 years old) with total respect! Super amazing doctors, hygienists, and front staff. 5+ stars all around

Amazing team! Dr Malin truly cares about her patients. You feel like a relative is taking care of you when you are at smiling patient. Alex and team go above and beyond with insurance processing, appointment reminders, and just about anything you could think of. My kids even love going to the dentist.

I currently live over 35 miles from Smiling Patient Dental Care, but I would drive even farther to go to them. The hygienists are very friendly, knowledge and give great tips for improving your gums and teeth. The dentists explain any concerns they see and why. I have trusted Dr. Malin and her staff for 10 years!

Not only do I love this place for my own dental work, but my daughter just had her first appointment and what a great first experience it was! They really do know how to work with children to make it a great, non traumatizing experience. All night long my daughter was saying how she wanted to go back to the dentist! The personal are always so nice, the office is always so clean and it's just a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend this place!

I just had my first visit with Dr. Magner. He was so gentle and friendly and did a great job explaining everything he was doing as he was doing it and what to expect. A great experience! Highly recommend!

After moving to Illinois (which is about 10 years ago) I was so fortunate to find this establishment for my dental needs. They are very professional and treat you like a family starting from the moment you step in through their doors. I would recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a great care and friendly service.

We are new residents in the Mt Prospect and found this practice through Yelp. It has a high rating for a good reason. You will find all of the staff to be professional and courteous. The Hygenist's are excellent and the Dr goes above and beyond to accommodate her patients. We are extremely pleased with our Denist.

We are new at Smiling Patient Dental Care and are so happy we found an office like theirs! We just moved and we're hoping to find and office like our old one and we got lucky and did! It is just what we were looking for. All of their staff is very friendly, kind, and helpful. Our four children love coming here and staff here are so patient and kind. We are an active duty military family so if you are as well you won't be disappointed. We're happy to have found a family dentist that makes us feel at home again!

I feel obligated to write this review for my fellow yelpers. I was just going to walk away and say nothing but Alex's last comments before we all hung up abruptly made me very upset, especially after I had my father come here based on my recommendation of the great reviews, I read. But the negative reviews pretty much sum up everything I experienced with my father.

So here's the story: My father came in to get some new replacement crowns on some of his teeth in 2017. The dentist replaced them but for some reason decided to use temporary glue and not cement right away. She came out to the car where my mom was waiting for my dad and asked how do you like them & that they would permanently cement them the next day.she supposedly wanted my mom to see how they were for some reason.not sure why.well low and behold the next day comes and they couldn't take them off.

She promised she would help in the future if they got loose or had problems which he did and when he came back a year later she filled in the gaps with some type of filling and charged him like $800 on top of it. I remember reaching out to them before to see why those crowns were done that way but never got any solid answers.recently my father was complaining again on how they were not fitting well and I remembered trying to get answers from back then, so decided to call again one more time and see if the dentist remembered that situation to give us some answers. Unfortunately, the gatekeeper/spouse Alex was very unprofessional and refused to have the dentist reach out to us or give us any answers.

Obviously the dentist's procedures were not done correctly & based on having to deal with Alex's personality and lack of professionalism, you couldn't pay me to go there.and according to Alex I can't ever call that office again were his words today.so I definitely would stay away from this place!

Best dental office I've ever been to. The staff is extremely nice and the service is top notch. They are extremely thorough and took the time to map out a treatment plan for me. All the staff that I have come into contact with are extremely kind and have such great energy. Very thankful to to have found this practice.

Just came back from our first appointment with Smiling Patient. I say "our" because the team accommodated me, my toddler AND my husband on the same day. The COVID protocol, as other reviews mentioned, was thorough and reassuring. The whole team is warm and welcoming, very careful to ensure you aren't experiencing undue discomfort, and were AMAZING with my 2 year old. Seriously, she was so at ease, and they were so great with her, you'd think she did this every day.

We were appreciative of Dr. Malin's conservative treatment approach and explanations for everything. My husband and I both left saying "I really like this place!" Who says that about a dentist? Smiling Patients* So glad we found this practice. They live up to the business name! *I couldn't stop myself, I'm sorry.

As always, excellent service. I had a broken filling and called for an appt. Alex got me in right away. Dr. Malin was able to repair it with zero discomfort. Their Covid protocol is top notch. I felt extremely comfortable and safe. I can't say enough about Dr. and the entire staff. Professional, friendly and courteous. Insurance is excepted and the fees are reasonable. I highly recommend.

Best of the best! From the front office staff to hygienists to assistants, most impressively consistent customer service, excellent communication and calming bedside manner. They go above and beyond to make sure that health and aesthetics are maintained to the highest order. Great referrals and very knowledgeable with amazing attention to every detail in diagnostics, unafraid to take on challenging cases.

I do not mind driving over 50 miles each way to ensure that my smile is one less thing I have to worry about in this crazy world. Dr. Malin is a rare find. Stay safe and keep up the good work!

Everything I'd been looking for in a new dentist and office. Kind, courteous, informative, reassuring, and efficient. from the moment the receptionist came to my car til the moment I was walked out the front door.

Turn around and don't look back! WORSE dental office I've ever experienced. Aside from the used car salesman at the front desk, they botched up my teeth, appliances, orders, etc. Like visiting the keystone cops. Big turn around on dentists too. All for the same reason.

The best dental team around, I can't speak highly enough about the quality of care my family and I receive at Smiling Patient Dental! Courteous, patient, caring, gentle, professional, and just exceptional all around! I recommend this office to everyone I can, they helped me conquer my phobia of dental work and I couldn't be more grateful.
