Dr. Malfair and the team are wonderful. I have been seeing them since I was a child and it is always a wonderful experience. No matter which hygienist I see they are always careful and ensure I have a comfortable cleaning. They take great care of their patients and I wouldnt hesitate to refer anyone to them if they are in need of a dentist!

Always professional and friendly service at Dr. Steve's dental practice. Direct billing to your benefits plan, complimentary toothbrushes, and great knowledge as to local providers of dental aids. I thought it was sun damage on my lip, Dr. Steve recommended a referral to a cancer specialist, after minor surgery, we 'caught it in time'. And Colleen on the front desk is the best, a wizard at finding appointment times that work.
AND, Dr. Malfair is a community contributor. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone!

I have been going to Dr. Melfair for many years and now have my kids going to him and his team now. They have the friendliest staff that make a point of remembering you and your family. Such a wonderful personal touch. They were very accommodating and did everything they could when I had a dental emergency over the Christmas holidays. Highly recommend them.
