Malkami Saman, DMD

Dr. Malkami was amazing! I needed a root canal suddenly and he worked me into his schedule that day. Everyone in the office was very kind and efficient. Although having a root canal is not fun, I will say Dr. Malkami made this experience quite bearable because of his great skill, kind spirit, and humor. He and his assistant work together with ease and flow. I highly recommend Dr. Malkami to everyone! Thank you for the amazing work!

I came into the office in tears… not from pain but fear because of a bad experience years prior. He performed my root canal the same day and it was completely painless. He even made me laugh during the treatment.

Amazing endodontist! Went in thinking I would be using my headphones to distract me during root canal procedure and didn’t touch them once. Dr. Malkami Saman was awesome! He put me completely at ease during consult! He never left my side from the moment he began with numbing my mouth. Such a witty and charming personality that kept me completely entertained during the entire procedure. I did not even notice what was going on since he had me taking in so much information about everyday things in life. Although I normally dread any dental visit I can honestly say I enjoyed my procedure today. Excellent job Dr. Malkami Saman!

There are a few phrases that conjure fear in humans, and «you need a root canal» is definitely up there. Imagine needing TWO root canals!
He accommodated my need for an urgent consultation on the same day and quickly scheduled the procedure the following week.
This is a newer location for his practice.

Dr. Malkami performs his microsurgery endodontics specialty with great precision, using the latest technology, to preserve as much of your teeth!
I especially appreciate when any health/​dental provider tells me what they are doing and what to expect: such as this is your numbing medication and you will feel a little pinch. An informed patient is a relaxed patient!
He makes you feel at ease and helps you to relax with his stories about his family, his travels, his observations about people he has encountered as patients or otherwise.
His staff, including his assistant Janet and office specialist Liz, are professional and courteous.
The office /​clinic is spacious, clean and bright, with modern touches.
His partner/​wife has an Orthodontics practice in the same building.
This location has lots of parking out in the back area, which is accessible off Chapman Ave via Mountain view Road. (My GPS actually directed me to the parking lot!)

Dr. Malkami restored my health and saved my tooth!
I had several root canals done by other endodontists over the years that left the gum around the tooth somewhat tender. When a portion of the tooth broke off I switched dentist. My new dentist took xrays and expalined that the root canal was not done correctly the first time. He referred me to Dr. Malkami. Dr. Malkami reworked the tooth, even finding a root that was missed the first time! If that wasn’t enough, Dr. Malkami took so much time and care that the procedure did not hurt and miraculously I had no pain or swelling in the following days. I am amazed and so grateful I found Dr. Malkami. He is almost 40 miles from my house but I would walk there if I had to, to get the job done right! Thank you Dr. Malkami!

Dear Dr. Saman,
Having visited you three weeks ago to have a micro surgery Root Canal procedure to repair the failed work done by Dr. Laureen Roh in 2005, I am happy to write that I continue to be pain free. You have saved my bridge too!
I wish to let you know how deeply we appreciate your trouble in accommodating me in your busy schedule at a moment’s notice, without insurance coverage and to immediately perform the procedure.
May I say how lucky and fortunate I am to have a sister, Dr. Maria V. Sison-​Rosario recommend me to a brilliant friend and professional colleague like you. Your expertise, integrity, compassion, caring and generosity is unquestionably a gift bestowed to well deserving individuals by the Almighty.
You dissipated my initial apprehension and fear from visiting dentists. Your stories while working on me made it feel like I was in a family reunion, listening to your life stories, family life, hopes and dreams … Oh, how I wish we could have stayed a little bit longer; but with my mouth closed.
Please know that my husband and I continue to pray for you and your family every day. May God grant you, your family and everyone around you good health, peace and good fortune all the days of your life. You hold a very special place in my heart and I appreciate all your love and concern. I also want to thank your assistant and your amazing staff for the most professional, comfortable, and excellent care I received at your office.
God Bless you.

What an amazing experience! Dr. Malkami is a joy to be around. I enjoyed his commentary and personality while having a procedure done. He and his staff made time for me to come in on a busy day, as I was recommended to them by my dentist.
Dr. Malkami uses cutting edge instruments and equipment to be as precise and efficient as possible while keeping the patient comfortable.
It’s a small practice, but well worth a look into because Dr. Malkami and his staff are amazing people that will treat you well and do an amazing job.

I had a root canal done a few weeks ago and Dr. Malkami really helped me through it. I was really nervous, he talked to me the whole time and tried to keep me relaxed through the whole procedure. I didn’t have ANY pain during or after the root canal… none. If I ever need a root canal again I would definitely have Dr. Malkami do it! Highly recommended!

I just got 2 root canals retreated… Thought would be worse… I would recommend this guy… Had the latest tech and was easy! Less pain!!!

Two root canals. Absolutely no pain (durning or after procedure). Best dental experience ever.

Still had pain after my two root canals were done. Found out it wasn’t bridge. Needed adjustment. Thank goodness no root canal redo! Awesome.

Dr. Malkami gave me the most painless root canal I’ve ever had, my old dentist I was on gas and was numb and still in pain, but dr. Malkami is a professional and without gas I felt absolutely nothing the whole procedure. Highly recommended to get your root canal done here! Thanks so much dr. Malkami!

Going to DR SAMAN MALKAMI for a Root Canal, was probably one of the very best experiences I have ever had at the dentist. No pain and he did an outstanding job. Thank you Doctor, you’re amazing indeed.

I have never written a review for anyone, not even my friends or family but this dr is special. Dr. Malkami is an AMAZING endodontist. I was around 20 when I first came for a root canal and he is so quick and PAINLESS, 8 years later I am still coming here for my root canals. I will never go anywhere else. My mom & dad come here too. Everyone always complains about getting root canals & I can’t understand why. People need to come here because you will never feel any pain ever! Thank you so much Dr. Malkami

I attended Dr. Malkami’s office long a go, I needed root canal and I was trying to avoid the procedure for a while. Like most people I dislike going to the dentist but given the circumstance I ended up going to Dr. Malkami. He is a wonderful dentist, very professional, very confident which definitely makes the patient be more comfortable, and very compassionate. He is quick and precise, and during the whole time I was in his office I didn’t experience any pain or discomfort even during the injection. He is truly gifted, and I really wish he would be able to be my general dentist too Lol. I have not had any problem after the procedure and it has already been more than a year.

I was referred by my dentist. I have a root canal and some microscopic surgery on a seperate tooth. You get what you pay for and he is worth every dime. He ia friendly and really want you to know why you need the procedure and how he will do it. During surgery he is calm and confident. I am not new to dental surgery and go for a cleaning every 3 months but evenso, he is reassuring and made me feel confident that he was going to save my tooth. Today was my 6 month recheck and everything is perfect! I highly recommend him.

First of all I just want to make it clear that I was beyond mortified of having to go to the dentist especially when I heard I needed a root canal. I also don’t do well with pain… the tiniest but of pain can make me cry. getting my root canal today though completely changed everything.
First of all Dr. Saman was amazing for staying late as my work schedule did not allow me to get in during normal business hours and after calling so many places with everyone else telling me I could not be seen today, he truly was a life saver. I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in and when they had me in the exam room of course I was nervous but he explained everything as did his assistant as well and told me I would feel no pain… no paid? Yeah. right…tell that to my last dentist Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde… to my surprise. he was right. I was absolutely mortified to have to go get this root canal especially when i found out i had funky roots and a cavity months over due. but I was so excited when 45 minutes later he said ok were done! I swear I did not feel a thing except for pressure from the first shot, the whole experience was amazing and because I found him on Unilocal from the other reviews it only made sense to write one myself. I got into my car when I left just to call my mom and tell her how amazing it was as my whole family is aware of my underlying fear of dental work.
Dr. Saman and staff you have truly changed my perspective and have rid of my fear of the dentist I truly thank you as the pain I have experienced for the last few months was excruciating but the comfort and trust in your office changed my world. Thank you so much!!! you have a new patient for life!
Happy Patient :)

Probably the best doctor in the world. Go here and thank your lucky stars.
Ignore the crazy lady’s review below. When I mentioned it in the office, the staff groaned. She basically freaked out during her consultation and marched out.
Sigh crazy ppl.

If you are terrified of a root canal (I was a first-​timer, what can I say? I didn’t know any better), then Dr. Malkami is definitely the place to go.
Let’s just say even though I had a sick amount of dental surgery implements in/​around/​on my mouth, we still had a rockin’ great conversation. Lots of laughter. The man knows what he’s doing with the numbing agents, electric shocks, and drilling.
Dr. M also taught me a great deal about U.S. history, a bit about the Philippines, and a lot about East vs. West German scientists and their roles in WWII and the Cold War. Who else can say they’ve had that educational experience AND a good time GETTING A ROOT CANAL???
The staff is also super helpful and really patient. Big ups to Dr. M and his office team! I’m officially on TEAM ROOT CANAL!!!

I’ve never written a review for a doctor before, but my experience was SO GOOD here that I had to.
After months of putting it off, I came to see Dr. Malkami for a root canal. To put it plainly, I was scared shittless. I hate the dentist. The thought of a root canal made me want to cry. Drills in my mouth? Um, no.
But, Dr. Malkami made me feel totally at ease. He had me laughing when I wanted to cry. He talked through out the whole procedure, so he kept my mind off the fact that he was taking my tooth apart. I had zero pain and the whole thing was ridiculously fast. NO EXAGGERATION, my root canal was a better experience for me than getting my cavities filled in.
I would without a doubt recommend him to ANYONE and EVERYONE that needs to get a root canal. The guy is AMAZING.
