Dr. Joe Malecki is a terrific dentist,calm, reassuring, very talented. I understand today's…read morechildren LIKE going to the dentist, with videos, and cozy offices, but to those of us who grew up going to cinder block offices with (unnamed) dentists who didn't even use novacaine! - visiting Joe is as near to pleasant as a dental visit can be. I highly recommend him, he's a good man.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!…read more I just walked out of my cleaning appointment at Dr. Malecki's office and I must say, I am blown away by what I just experienced. I didn't even get to see Dr. Malecki. I walked out before I even got done dealing with his assistant. I checked in with the receptionist and then a woman named Carol, who I am assuming is some sort of assistant, got me all setup for my cleaning. She sat me down, put the little drool towel on me, and then sat next to me and pulled up some x-rays that were taken about 6 months ago on my last visit. She then proceeded to start a completely incoherent rant that went like this, "I dont know if we should take new x-rays. I'm not sure what we are going to do today. These x-rays that we have are only of the left side of your mouth. So maybe we should take full mouth x-rays. I'm not sure. I don't know if we are going to do that or not today. I think we could, but I don't know. Because all I see here is the left side of your mouth. So I'm not sure what we are going to do today. I don't really know." HUH? At this point I start off by correcting her. Carol, those x-rays are actually of the right side of my mouth, not the left side. She said, "oh, you're right. Forgive me, I just got back from lunch." But in addition to correcting her, I also told her that her uncertainty and her constantly saying she's not sure and that she doesn't know what we should do isn't exactly giving me any confidence in her, and maybe it's best if we don't do anything today. You should know that I'm here for a cleaning. That is what I scheduled. So why do you keep saying that you don't know what we are going to do today and you're not sure what we are going to get done? And as for the x-rays, you are the "expert" not me. So you tell me if we need them or not. She then goes, "okay well lets just dive right in then." and she starts to lay out a few tools. But then after 30 seconds she again starts rambling... "you know, without x-rays it makes it hard to do anything because I cant see what I'm getting into beforehand. So I dont know. Maybe we should take x-rays. I'm not sure what we should do today." At this point, enough is enough. I get out of the chair and cancel the appointment. I personally don't know if x-rays are or are not needed, because I'm not the freakin' dentist. You are supposed to be the professional. Not me. If we need x-rays, fine. I am there to see a professional and follow their expertise and guidance, but this woman literally said she didnt know and she wasn't sure easily 20 different times, if not more than that, all within the matter of like 3 or 4 minutes. Part of me wonders if she had a beverage or two on her lunch break because she didn't seem to have any desire at all to do any actual work. So again, I didn't even get to see Dr. Malecki. All I got to do was deal with some woman, Carol, who made it seem like it was her first day on the job, even though when I confronted her about this she claimed to have 30 years experience. There was no confidence coming from her. No certainty. No reassuring. No decision making. Everything was "I dont know" and "Im not sure." I am there to see a professional and have the work performed by an expert. Carol came off as completely clueless (incorrectly identifying my existing x-rays), unsure of herself, incapable of making a decision and completely unqualified..... I am blown away by what I just experienced. Part of me thinks that maybe she was trying to "up sell" the x-rays in addition to the cleaning, but all of the "I dont know" and "Im not sure" junk was just sooo alarming. Had she just said, "you need new x-rays" I would have been like okay, cool, because she's supposed to be the expert. But "maybe you need them. maybe you dont. i dont know if we are going to do that or not. im not sure. i dont know what we are going to do today." WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!?! No thank you, Carol. I will find a different dentist who does know and who is sure.

I went to my dentist when I discovered I had a large piece of my tooth missing. She refered me to…read moreDr Penesis to evaluate if the tooth could be salvaged w/a root canal. I went to Oakbrook Endodontic yesterday to see what could be done. They took a number of X-rays of the problem tooth & decided it was worth saving. Thank God The last thing I want to do is be a toothless wonder. Dr Penesis does an awesome job. He explained what need to be done to salvage the tooth and proceeded with the root canal after reviewing the x-rays. He's very through and has very good people skills. They anesthetized the area & proceeded with the work. They put a rubber block in my mouth to hold it open in the position needed to perform the work laid the chair back and proceeded. I was so relaxed as Dr Penesis and his assistant worked on my mouth I fell asleep. When I woke up they were finished. Talk about streamlined no muss, no fuss and viola completed. I wish all dental procedures could be as easy & painless as this. Thanks for making this simple, easy & painless

I had my first root canal by Dr Penesis and while it's not what I would call a pleasurable…read moreexperience, he did great work and talked me through the procedure from beginning to end. This work by both Dr and assistant made my first root canal experience a success. I would recommend this Dr specifically as he was thorough, kind and informative. My after care experience has been a breeze with very little soreness, I only had to take one dose of Advil to get through the first day when the novacaine wore off.
