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.

Extremely knowledgeable, helpful physician!
I was listened to and treated like Dr. Malak cared about my wellbeing! He gave a through exam with explanations. Reviewed my tests with me and at the end of the appointment I feel that my diagnosis is correct and being treated in the best way possible. Thank you Dr. Malak!

I accompanied my mom to her appointment with Dr. Abdul-Malak today and we were both EXTREMELY happy with the entire experience. His kind manner put both of us at ease. His adept skill at teasing out facts while asking the most delicate questions was invaluable. His physical examination was thorough and conducted with genuine care. Every person, from the receptionist, blood pressure, evaluation, to check-out was awesome! What a phenomenal group of healthcare professionals. Dr. Abdul-Malak and his team are truly a Syracuse Treasure.

I’m a fairly new patient of Dr. Malak. My impression is that he’s a patient, quiet and kind doctor. He’s easy to talk to and he listens to you. I like him much more than my previous neurologist. I would recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a good neurologist.

The worst! He was rude, crude, and condescending. Never read my file. When he stepped out to look at my MRI, he never came back. They said see in you in 6 months and I said for what?! Syracuse, NY - January 18, 2021

I highly recommend this specialist. He listens to your concerns, answers questions, and is very open-minded. He's not afraid to pull out a medical reference book if your case involves rare conditions. If you've got migraines, vertigo, processing issues this is the doctor you want.

The experience was remarkably helpful and informative. Dr. Abduk-Malak was serious, responsive and thorough in his questions and examination. I was especially impressed in his sympathy and understanding of my husband's problems and his interest in finding if there were additional factors that were contributing to his condition. It really is wise to get a second opinion from this caring doctor. Amy Hnatko

My situation is complex; however, Dr. Malak makes me feel at ease. He is by far my favorite physician.

Same response as the other comments. It was awful. Didn't even say hello. Very condescending. Didn't explain anything. Did not take me serious. Acted like I was an inconvenience. Didn't come up with a plan. I never want to go back to this doctor again. Worst experience I've ever had. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.
