I am willing to drive all the way into Altamonte Springs, once a month to go to a reputable pain mgr. A doc who cares about his patients, and to them. Only You know what is best for you..TRUST YOUR GUT!

Dr. Malik very nearly KILLED my father. My father has chronic nerve pain. Dr. Malik changed the meds in his pain pump and didn't seem to care that he was having severe withdrawal symptoms. We called for help for a week without a call back. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get through on the phone because their phone system re-routes you to Arizona. Had to call 911 when we found my dad unconscious. Dr. Malik couldn't even bother to call back the hospital when my dad was admitted. Do NOT go here.

My pain began in 1991 with an accident. From that time to 2001 I had dealt with the pain on my own. However in 2001 a ruptured disk and several surgeries later I had to begin seeing pain specialists on a regular basis. I was not having much success with the specialists I was seeing at that time. Around 2005 I began seeing Dr. Vinod Malik in the Daytona Beach, FL area. I must say Dr. Malik is the finest pain management specialist I have seen in 4 different states. I had seen so many

Almost killed my wife. After having a 1st pain pump installed, med dose was increased 4 approx 2 yrs. After complaining of new back pain and seeing a knot on her back at spine. I asked Dr. MALIK if there could be a kink in the hose or if the needle came out releasing concentrate morphine. No, he replied. IT WAS. 5 total years of having pump / knot now golf ball size, dr malik stated, instead of waiting 2 more years, he would replace it. 5 hrs N2 the 1 1/2 hr surgery he was done. Wife still hurts

I was told by Dr. Malik after he treated me for severe unbearable pain for about 6 months that I am too sick and since I am not a candidate for the pain pump he discharged me WITHOUT any more pain meds knowing that I was out of my meds and I'd be going into severe withdrawal! I have severe Rheumatoid arthritis amongst other things and I can't believe how I was treated by a pain management dr! I even had my records from my pain management dr in Chicago!Dr. Malik let me leave office w/o any meds!

Seems as shot mill mentality. Seems they make good money injecting shots in your back. I received other back shots but when I refused a epidural shot of Kenalog which by the way comes with a Warning on the medication in bold letters Intramuscular or intra-articular use only. Not for IV,intraocular, epidural or intrathecal use. On Bristol-Myers Squibbs website they warns of reports of serious medical events including death. Not only did he cancel me left me w/o pain med he'd refill.
