Modern/computerized x-ray equipment is cool and fancy, but Dr. Malen tends to rush through his procedures in a sloppy manner. He is often careless, without apologizing. For example, when numb during a proceudre, his hand slipped and the drill cut my face. As I didn't feel anything, I had no idea. He said nothing, and it was only after the procedure and I went to wash up in the bathroom, did I find a large scratch on my face. On another occassion, when putting in a temporary crown, it had a jagged edge. I didn't feel this until the novocaine wore off and it kept cutting into my lip. The final crown experience was also rushed as he had no time to adjust my bite. As a result, I had to return to have this taken care of.
