Fishtown Dentistry

The staff at Fishtown Dentistry would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy 2025. We are also excited to introduce our newest team-member - Dr. Valerie Malcom. You will see Dr. Malcolm in the office on Thursdays, giving us additional capacity to provide the best care possible to our patients and neighbors.

Dr. Malcolm received her DMD through the Advanced Standing Program at Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry, graduating summa cm laude. Originally from the Philippines, after emigrating to the United States she first worked as a dental assistant, then as an EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant), and Senior Clinic Manager for Pediatric Dentistry at Temple. She has been teaching at Harcum College since 2010, and has served the Pennsylvania EFDA Association as Continuing Education Coordinator.

I love seeing Dr. Malcolm’s passion for dentistry and genuine patient care and am excited to work alongside her at Fishtown Dentistry. Having been in the dental field for 20 years, Dr. Malcolm understands that patient comfort and communication are just as important as quality dentistry. She will listen to your needs and share evidence-based treatment plans, customized to provide appropriate care while ensuring that you are as comfortable as possible.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Malcolm enjoys painting, gardening and dancesport. Her favorite activity is hanging out with her husband and best friend of almost 20 years and their daughter.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Malcolm to the team.

This week we have celebrated International Dentists Day, International Women’s Day and Denise’s Birthday! Now it’s time to celebrate and recognize our dental assistant Erin!

Erin joined the Fishtown Dentistry team in August, but she has been a dental assistant for 9 years 🎉 She works along side Dr. Mozaffari ensuring patients have a comfortable and positive visit! Thanks for being a part of our team Erin, and congratulations on your new house!! 🥳🏡
