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.

I will never ever visit or call this office again. Dr. Fahim is a nice person , but I am not looking for friend , I am looking for physcian who can help. The employees at his office are the worse in the entire world.

Dr. Malik is one of the best doctor I have ever been to. He is very patient. He takes time to go over the diagnosis clearly and treatment options. He always have a smile on his face and is very welcoming. Wonderful doctor.

Dr. Malik on my first visit put me on a diet to avoid five different areas of food that I have enjoyed for over 70 years. No other doctor of any kind ever made a suggestion or recommendation like this nor did they show me if I paid to his recommendations and follow through that I would from his opinion not get on dialysis. He also indicated that I did not have stage IIIB kidney disease. However this time the second visit although I lost 20 pounds with his health he indicated that my labs showed A worsening kidney situation of course I was disappointed to hear this news. Dr. Malik suggested that I get renal and other blood work done within a month and he would see me in four weeks for another appointment. He also gave me some pain medicine for my growing that no othe hospital surgeon or a physician offered. I am extremely happy to be one of Dr. Malik’s patients. I plan to follow every advice that Dr. Malik recommend to save my life and my pain.

Dr. Malik is very bright. You can ask him anything and he will have an answer for you. Because of his specialty, he places a great emphasis on lab results. I like the fact that he is younger, and may be more in tune with the latest medical teaching and research. However, if you are looking for a warm and fuzzy personality, Malik is not the one.
