I highly recommend Dr. Malek. He provides excellent medical care and guidance.
there was a lot of paper works at 1st but it was quick after that.
Dr. took time to listen to my problem and was extremely helpful.
First appointment wait time was over an hour. After that the wait time was not as long. Was quick, didn't seem to care, ask any questions, or explain my injury to me. Seeking new doctor in the area.
It was ok overall. Felt like I was rushed during the appointment. I did not feel like he was willing to spend enough time to address my questions and concerns regarding treatments.
Professional, informative and good feedback
