Dr. Malinak was an excellent doctor for me for many years. I saw him for about 16 years but somewhere around 12 years he just wasn’t the same as he was before that time.

Dr. Malinak is an excellent doctor and very nice person. As a nurse, I would only go to a great doctor and my husband and I have been going to him for over 20 years. We are very happy with him and the staff supporting him.

Has been my specialist for over 10 years and with my new coverage, can no longer visit his office. He refused my pain prescription to be renewed in the interim of finding a new doctor and dismissed my care all together. Stack this with an extremely rude staff, I would stay away. It became very apparent that his business is a much higher priority than the care of his patients.
