Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I will start off by this. When I was growing up I had great teeth. After 3 incidents at a horrible dentist office I never wanted to go back growing up. The last incident I had was when I was 15, the dentist is no longer in practice after it was reported.
I always brushed my teeth and tried to take care of them the best I could.
Fast forward to my early 20's. I started working shift work and overnight shifts in a print shop. I was not eating healthy and was drinking energy drinks like water. Needless to say that destroyed my teeth. I stopped smiling, hid my teeth when I talked because I was ashamed. I had decay starting at the top of my teeth from the acid if the drinks. I went to a local dentist(against my gut instinct) office in a wealthy neighborhood. I was treated like a piece of garbage. The first question he asked me was how long have I been doing drugs? I felt even worse, judged and now even more ashamed. I had my first child with my wife at 24. After she was born I had No pictures of me smiling, for that matter I have no pictures with me smiling, showing me teeth with any of my children. This is supposed to be the happiest days of our lives with our children and sadly I don't look happy. My children ask me why I never smile. It's pitiful.
So this past November I am putting up Christmas lights. There was a slight rain and it was cold. I was up on the 6th or 7th step, my foot slips and I start falling. My jaw hit every rong in the way down. 11 of my teeth completely cracked and broke. Now missing all majority of my teeth.
So, with only $1,000 for dental insurance, and that doesnt even cover implants, I'm in a horrible position. I enter a contest, by the grace of god I win.
I drive 2 hours to my initial consultation. I am sitting in the parking lot in my truck. It's about 30 mins prior to my appt. I start getting nervous, I'm sweating and feel like I'm going to throw up. All the old feelings of being judged starts coming back.
I actually start my truck and start to pull out of the office lot. Then I think to myself, wait, this is a second chance, I will be able to smile in pictures with my kids what the hell am I thinking. So I park again.
I go in to the office, from the moment I walk in the clerical staff are nice, they're not staring or making faces.
I get called back to the chair, my palms are sweaty my chest is pounding and I feel like I'm going to get sick.
Well, let me tell you from the time I met with Dr. Steven Moss & Dr. Priya Tonseker from Malo smiles, they did not judge me, insult me or make me feel ashamed or uncomfortable. They made me feel like it's common even though I know its not. They have been patient,caring & understanding with me. So they tell me I wont the contest and it will cover up to $30,000. I have never won anything like this on my life. It's like hitting the lottery in a sense. My experience there so far has been more than a pleasure. I can not wait to get this finished. I will post pics of before and after for everyone to see.
Sorry this has been long, but just wanted to give full details.
