Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic
Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and works closely with the patient to give them the best possible plan for their needs, Dr. Malik is amazing and compassionate when it comes to you and the care that is provided. I would definitely recommend this office.

EMG
Last week I had an EMG performed by Anna R. and Dr. Malik. Anna was amazing. She put me at ease and made the test much less intimidating than I imagined. She was very personable and professional. Dr. Malik was also polite, professional, personable, and efficient. Every medical office should have an Anna and a Dr. Malik!

Finally 90% pain free
Dr Malik is a excellent pain management physician. I got my 1st epidural shot for LS back pain and sciatica with tingling and some numbness. Within the 1st few days I was getting relief from my constant pain. I would recommend Dr.Malik and the whole office staff. Everyone has been so kind and helpful and very knowledgeable in all aspects of this field. A+ Dr. & staff

Finally got some pain relief!!
Moved to Florida from out of state and found Dr. Malik at Global Neuro & Spine. After a few visits trying a couple things he decided to try a procedure called caudal lysis of adhesions. This has worked great and I'm finally able to function almost normally and enjoy the Florida living. Thanks to Dr. Malik, James and the office staff for helping me.

I came in crying, but now I'm flying! #BLESSED
I am a 25 year-old woman who has never had any back pain. My life changed when an intoxicated man ran through a red light and crashed into my car. Through the Grace of God, my boyfriend and daughter did not sustain any injuries. However I ended up needing to go to the hospital (please wear your seatbelts people!) The emergency room told me that I have a broken bone in my spine. Dr. malik said me that he needs to perform surgery to fix it by putting cement into the bone to seal all the cracks. I was super duper nervous because I've never had surgery before, but everything was fine! I was actually awake while he was doing it, and he was talking to me the whole time explaining every step of the process. I didn't feel much discomfort because he put a lot of novocaine. His assistant george was really nice also, and he played Latin music for me on their Alexa while they worked. I felt 200% better right when he finished and I walked to my car with zero pain! #Grateful

Compassionate and intelligent
I have been bringing my mother to see Dr. Malik for quite some time, and I am very impressed with the level of service that he provides. He is always warm, compassionate, polite, respectful, courteous and caring. He seems to always be in a good mood, and even though his office is always packed with patients, we never feel rushed. My mom has been moving around a lot better ever since Dr. Malik began working on her. She actually looks forward to going to her office visits. He won't let me come into the operating room while he is doing the injections on her, but I always feel totally comfortable leaving her in his care. She always comes out with a smile on her face, and she tells me that they don't hurt too much.

Dr. Malik has kept me going for years
I've been seeing Dr Malik and Pedro for several years. Realistically I know my pain will never be completely gone (I played a lot of sports when I was young, and I had several surgeries on my lumbar.) Now I'm in my 70s and Dr. Malik and his team have me functional, enjoying life, and able to spend time with my grandchildren. Prior to meeting them, there were days when I could not even get out of bed. I get epidurals a few times every year, and I have some pain medication that they prescribe me. Now I must say that I hate needles and I hate taking medicine, but the treatment plan that Dr. Malik has tailored for me is working for well. Five stars all around, thanks guys.

Nerve ablation - Worked great!
I was scared of pain management, because I didn't want to become addicted to pills. Turns out that Dr. Malik has a different approach and uses injections to treat pain. the first two injections that he gave me didn't work, they only lasted for a little while, but then he did an ablation on my back which has lasted about 8 months so far and it still feels good.

I feel so much better!
Dr. Malik and his entire office took such great care of me. He explained my MRI to me in so much detail, he even explained which part of the body is affected by each nerve. He then showed me where my problem was, and recommended an injection. It has been a few months since my injection, and I feel so much better. Thank you Dr. Malik!! I tell all my friends about you.

See someone else if you value your life!
Initially, here appeared to be a good doctor. However, at my last appointment, I found him to be mean and standoffish the entire appointment. After receiving multiple injections, one of which seem to make a big improvement, I went back later for another injection and experienced immediate pain after the procedure and informed the nurses and front desk staff of my difficulty. Turned out I actually had an infection, and was hospitalized for several months. I know it’s easy to, blame the victim. However, I’m not sure how you can blame the victim, when 48 hours longer without emergency care, I would’ve been dead on my floor. Worst of all, he did not seem to care if I had died. I’m sure this review will be taken down, but I want people to know what kind of experience they could be in for.

Dr. Malik a World Class Doctor I Highly Recommend
Today on Feb 2, 2023, I had the honor of having Dr. Malik perform a medical procedure on me for chronic spine pain. He performed an ablation for a previously "failed" spine surgery. Dr. Malik was assisted by a nurse, "Dakota", who also treated me in a professional & caring manner. Dr. Malik was extremely patient, demonstrated compassion, allowing me to explain the symptoms & pain that relate to my previous surgery. He demonstrated amazing "bedside manner" and listened intently so as to best treat me. Not only did Dr. Malik take the time for me to explain the issues that I am affected by, he was also able to quickly determine further methods that would serve to manage my intense chronic pain. Dr. Malik then went on to perform the procedure with Dakota's assistance. Dakota assisted the doctor; understanding & following through with his dire Dr. Malik's possess skilled hands, that served to perform the procedure without any pain. Dr. Malik is a world class doctor who I highly recommend.

Dr with a God complex
To make a long story short. I was on the table to receive an epidural. I thought I was getting the thoracic area but they choose the cervical. I had agreed but Malek was in an uproar and was not allowing me to speak, literally. So when I spoke again to tell him I was having chest pains. He said he didn't want to hear about my chest pains and he was canceling my procedure. And as a matter of fact, that would be my last appointment since I spoke when I was told not to. What doctor tells you to leave his office when you are trying to tell him you are having chest pains.?

Miracle epidural
I forgot what it was like to be without pain. I got emotional, because of how great I felt. I've had injections before, but none have helped like this. I felt so good, that I went and cleaned out my carport a few days after the injection. The doctor wasn't to pleased about that, and he asked me to continue to take it easy, but I felt so good that it didn't bother me at all! And I still feel great. Thanks doc!

Very unpleasant office
My husband just returned from his first appointment with Dr. Malik. The experience for him was very poor. Dr. Malik was very rude and arrogant when he was not being condescending in demeanor. The office staff was unfriendly as well. Needless to say this will be the last visit.

Good experience
Office was clean, and wait time was minimal. Assistants and nurses were fast and efficient. Dr. Malik was courteous and professional. He was able to identify my problem and recommend treatment options after a brief discussion and examination. Only downside was a lot of paperwork before the visit, and that I have to wait a couple of weeks before I can get my injection.

This doctor is too busy to give adequate time to the patient and fails miserably on the listening end. There’s nothing more annoying than a doctor who doesn’t care which means he’s not, or is no longer, passionate about his work. That means he only cares about the money and treats patients like cattle.
