to be honest I was very freaked out going to a urologist, as I never had this happen to me. But Dr Malhotra was very warm and professional, made the visit very pleasant

Great first visit, great listener and was able to suggest things to try to figure out the issue for my visit.
He did some tests to start the process and made appts for other tests, to try to find the cause. Good start.

Verified patient
My appointment was for a consultation—no medication or treatment. Dr. Malhotra and his staff were polite but extremely rushy. From the time I called to clarify my appointment to the actual visit, the experience was rushy and non-personal. I could barely get my questions out and answered before being rushed. I do not plan to return.
Verified patient
Everything was smooth and efficient.
Verified patient
Had to call to get my results and after calls finally received test results and prescription by email. Never got a call or email from a doctor explaining test results and prescription. Worst possible communication ever experienced. Its been 4 weeks since my appointment and I still didn't get to talk with a doctor. Would not recommend to anyone.
Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Malhotra to any prospective patient. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and seemed to genuinely care for and respect his patients. I loved his personal touch and sense of humor. It’s hard to find that perfect combination with any physician. He’s an A+ In my book.

Fantastic all around. Great doctor and office.
Verified patient
Highly recommend Dr Malhotra. I went to several urologists that completely ignored my issue, and not only did he address it, but he recognized what it was right away and gave me the treatment I needed.
I never thought I would be drafting a review for a Urologist, but the care and service I received from Dr. Malhotra and his staff truly warrants positive recognition. Let's start at the beginning: I made my appointment through ZocDoc and, as usual, the appointment system was easy, fast, and accurate. I completed my paperwork online/thru the app and it was all sent to the doctor's office. Easy capeasy. When I showed up for my appointment (a Vasectomy consultation at the Westchester location) the office was clean, setup for appropriate social distancing, and the staff was warm and welcoming. After checking-in, I was in an exam room in about 5 min. Once in the exam room, a nurse was with me within minutes and Dr. Malhotra came in shortly thereafter. The entire initial consult lasted 10-20 minutes and Dr. Malhotra was informative, kind, and efficient. On the day of surgery, I went to Dr. Malhotra's Culver City location. The office is much smaller than his Westchester location, but my experience was just as good. His nurses and staff were truly exceptional and made me feel at ease. Dr. Malhotra, similar to our first meeting, was well prepared, kind, efficient, and had great bed side manner. The Vasectomy was complete before I knew it and I was on my way home ready to relax for the weekend. I followed all of Dr. Malhotra 's post-op orders and my recovery went smoothly. At my post-op appointment, again at Culver City, the office was running on time and I was in and out in 15-20 minutes. Dr. Malhotra's practice, and my overall experience, was truly 5 star service.
Verified patient
Great, friendly doctor! He checked me up on an issue that other Urologists had failed to make me understand and he heard all of my concerns all the way through. He was comforting in regards to what I should expect and what I shouldn't worry about and he was quick to schedule another check up. Would definitely recommend.
Dr. Malhotra is a very personable no-nonsense doctor who was easy to talk to. The visit was brief, but thorough. I felt well taken care of.The office is very efficiently run and the entire staff was friendly and polite.
Verified patient
Very professional and answered my questions
The office is fast moving which I appreciated. Dr. Malhotra is very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely head that way if you’re looking for a quality doctor and an efficiently run office :)

I arrived about 20min early to my appt (wasn't sure if there would be additional forms to fill out, and I was a new patient) and I was actually seen early ! Dr. Malhotra was kind, understanding, and clearly knew his stuff. He answered all my questions and appeared to take a genuine interest in my case. I was seen quickly, but I didn't feel rushed or ignored. The follow-up appt and tests were scheduled promptly.
Great doctor, very informative and helpful.

Verified patient
Dr Sameer Malhotra was very professional as well as friendly at the same time.He diagnosed my problem within minutes and suggested appropriate remedies.I did not have to wait too long for his appointment either and everything was very smooth.
Short wait before seeing the doctor. Quick and efficient w/ his diagnosis. Professional, easy to talk to, answered all my questions.
Spoke with me about my issue and made sure I understood. Very approachable, very thorough. I left confident I had received great care.
I made a mistake on my appointment date, but the receptionist politely stated that since I was here they would fit me in. Even though I was not a scheduled patient that day, Dr Malhotra took his time to explain my medical issue, and the plan forward. As I was leaving, I had another question and again he took his time to answer my question; clearly expressing the answer to be sure I understood, and waited to see if I had anymore.
