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.

My daughter is suffering from health issues that brought us to Dr. Malek. I have never been so happy with a Dr. He is very concerned about my daughter and returns calls himself. He encourages calls with questions. I would refer him to anyone!!!!

Dr. Malek is wonderful. During our visit, he set us at ease with his humor and showed himself to be deeply knowledgeable. He was also a careful listener who desired to learn, analyze, and synthesize as much as he could. As a mother, I truly agreed with his diagnoses. On top of that, his caring nature set him apart. I feel that Dr. Malek is a great advocate for both children and parents, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatric neurologist.

Dr. Malek first and foremost is a good listener. He takes into consideration what parents are saying which many Doctors do not. He is up to date on information but willing to consider other ideas. We travel quite some distance so my 13 year old son can see him and it is worth it!

Dr. Malek is an excellent neurologist. He listens to families and thinks outside the box. So many neurologists, especially the old school ones, are so dependent on overdosing with potent, controlled, anti seizure medications. Many which do not work and cause problems later in life. Dr. Malek has been a blessing to our daughter and our family. My daughter was misdiagnosed by another neurologist. Dr. Malek has corrected the mistakes and my daughter has been seizure free 2 yrs.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Malek. The care and support he gave my daughter when she had Lyme Meningitis and then Optic Neuritis was the best we could have ever received. I recommend him to everyone!
