What Our Patients are Saying
Misha B.
“Dr. Leidl is excellent and I’m so glad to find such a good dentist local to Long Valley. You could say I’m picky with dentists and I think Dr. Leidl couldn’t be better. A pleasure to be around and a gentle and helpful dentist. I’d highly recommend him to anyone who asks.”
Nandini D.
“I had a sudden toothache today and rushed to the nearest dentist. I was pleasantly surprised to meet Dr. Shah, the new dentist at the practice. She saw me right away, provided excellent advice, and gave me prompt, effective treatment. The entire staff was wonderful — Michelle was so kind and welcoming, and the assistant was incredibly friendly and put me at ease. I highly recommend this office to anyone in Long Valley looking for exceptional dental care.”
Thomas S.
“I had a great experience at Malama Dental. Dr. Shah is wonderful she is so friendly and knowledgeable. She explained everything to me and gave me many options for my care. The staff is welcoming and supportive and so friendly. When it’s time to go to the dentist definitely keep them in mind.”

“Sunday morning one of my teeth cracked exposing the nerve. Anyone who’s done this understands just how painful it can be. I looked up “emergency dental service.” Dr. Leidl’s practice came up so I called. Left a message which he replied to in about 15 minutes. Understand, I was not a patient of his and this is a Sunday morning. I explained the situation and he thought I’ll probably need to see an oral surgeon. He did however offer to see if there’s anything he could do. So 10am on Sunday, he takes time to see if he could help me. Thankfully he was able to remove the cracked tooth. I’m writing this the morning after and I have no pain. What he did for me speaks to his compassion and character as a person. Thank you Dr. Leidl.”
