Compassionate Care
from a Doctor Who
Truly Listens
Dr. Mak has built a practice rooted in warmth, trust, and personalized attention — where every patient feels seen and cared for.
Known to Her Patients
Simply as "Dr. Mak"
"Dentistry, for me, has always been about people first — their comfort, their trust, and their confidence."
Dr. Mak took over Modern Dentistry of Frederick in October 2024 with one goal: to create her own practice where patients feel genuinely cared for. With over two decades of experience, she combines advanced techniques with a warm, unhurried approach that puts even the most anxious patients at ease.
Dr. Raheleh Makhmalbaf (known as Dr. Mak) received her undergraduate degree from Georgia State University and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Boston Goldman School of Dental Medicine in 2009. A resident of Frederick since 2012, she has established herself as a dedicated practitioner of general and advanced dentistry. She is an active member of the American Dental Association and the prestigious Seattle Study Club.
"Patients tell us they feel relaxed the moment they walk in. That kind of response is the highest compliment we can receive."
— Dr. Raheleh Makhmalbaf, DMDWhat sets Dr. Mak's practice apart is its warmth. It is not a corporate chain, not a high-volume clinic — it is a small, close-knit, family-oriented practice where the team knows your name and your story. Many patients have been coming for over a decade and bring their children and parents. That kind of loyalty says everything.
The Values Behind Every Visit
Everything we do is guided by a simple belief: dental care should feel human, honest, and unhurried.
