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.

Dr Malhotra has always given me solid primary doctor care.

Argumentative and does not listen to patients
If english is not your first language, DO NOT visit this doctor. He is condescending, inpatient, unprofessional and makes you feel like you are wasting his time with your concerns, questions or follow ups. He truly does not care and is there to get you in and out as quickly as possible. He was disrespectful and started raising his voice at my mother-in law, because she was confused by his questions and made her feel like she was wasting his time! Ive never had an experience with a doctor like this, with such bad and unprofessional behavior. He literally told us to go see someone else because he didn't have time for our questions on follow ups from previous appts. He treated her so poorly, that I am happy we were able to be there with her to make sure she never has to visit this doctor again. His office is a mess and disorganized. We will not be returning.

Dr. Malhotra has been a great doctor for my wife and I. After many years of great care with the late Dr. Vargas, we had to search for a new doctor and Dr. Malhotra comes closest to the level of care we had been accustomed to with Dr. Vargas. Dr. Malhotra takes the time to explain things thoroughly, and seems genuinely concerned with improving your health, not just treating the immediate concern. I would highly recommend Dr. Malhotra for anyone looking for a doctor practicing Family Medicine.

The first time I went to Dr. Malhotra's office, I waited for about 20 minutes passed my appointment time until I finally got to meet him. I explained my horrible headaches and deteriorating vision and he proceeded to dismiss every valid concern I had. He cut me off several times when I was speaking to him and told me that a procedure I received at the ER that helped alleviate some of my painful symptoms was a waste of hospital funds. Only the beginning of the pain I'd endure with Dr. Malhotra.

Dr. Malhotra has been my doctor for the past 2 yrs. The office visits may not always be quick but that is because he takes the time to listen, covers all issues past & present, is thorough & compassionate but stern when appropriate. He takes the healthy approach promoting his patients to healthier lifestyles, addressing eating habits, exercise, relaxation alternatives for hypertension, etc. He thoroughly addresses all follow up on lab work, xrays etc. directly in his office.

It was the most complete exam I have had in years and i appreciate his working with me to get cholesterol check that day in office, because I had fasted for over 12 hours. I was very pleasant & did not rush me. Listened to me well. He seemed better than Utah Dr. I had before moving her.

Dr. Malhotra is extremely dedicated to his profession as he is with his patients. How many doctors would call at. 9 p.m on a Sunday to advise you to go to the E.R.? To say he saved my brother's life is putting it mildly. If you call his office after hours and it's urgent he will call you. He will spend the time necessary until you have understood everything. I told him that we would follow him when he moved, except he followed me since now I'm only 3.4 miles from him.
