Brief Intro

Dr. Malena is a periodontist in Omaha, Nebraska who has thirty-three years of experience in his field.  He is currently on the faculty of two dental colleges, has taught in two others and has served as an anthropology professor. In addition to his practice, he is an active researcher, working to add knowledge to his field in the areas of genetics, immunohistochemistry and surgery.  His current academic and professional affiliations are at University of Nebraska Medical Center, its Dental College in Lincoln,  Creighton University, the Cranial Facial Malformation Team at Children's Memorial Hospital and Nebraska Methodist Hospital. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Association of Physical Anthropologists.  His research interests occupy most of his spare time, however he paints labyrinths, builds computers, does church work, and has been the faciliter of the local chapter of The Compassionate Friends, a support group for families that have experienced the death of a child. His wife, Audrey shares part of the office space where she is a marriage and family therapist.  Their daughter is a graduate student at UCSD and is frequently away doing research in archeology and ancient history. "I like private practice because it keeps me in touch with the real reason for the research.  I get to see and help real patients and daily make the connection between the test tube and the  microscope and our need to keep our teeth.  I also enjoy it because real patients are so different than the textbook world.  Patients often have limited resources and we have to come up with treatment plans that take into account insurance coverage (or lack thereof), a wedding coming up next month, or maybe a complicating medical condition."
