Good doctor. Easy to get an appointment
I live in CT, and since Dr. Malits no longer sees patients in My.Kisco, I would be hesitant to recommend her. Since I’m retired, I’m willing to drive almost an hour to see her and haven’t tried to find a doctor closer to home, but I’m not sure how many people I know would do that.
I have been seeing her for years, she is always pleasant and extremely knowledgeable, and addresses my issues/needs with the utmost professionalism.
She's excellent
Dr. Malits spent adequate time and attention on my concerns and explained specific treatments that could be beneficial to my condition.
Dr. Malits is an excellent provider and I have recommended the doctor to individuals in the past. And will continue to recommend her in the future.
She's excellent
