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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Malkani is outstanding. He is incredibly thorough, highly knowledgeable, speaks in understandable terms and has a wonderful "bedside manner." He was recommended by a friend and she was right! I am very grateful for his attention and resolution of my health issue.

I am a Medicare patient & I saw Dr. Malkani for the first time last year & was impressed with his kindness & understanding. He listen to what my concerns were, explained everything clearly. He payed attention my medical concerns & fears. He ordered test related to my problem & made me feel I was in good hands. His office very nice, comfortable, clean & staff were nice. I had a list of questions that I looked up & he clarified which were false & which were true information. He also gave me a few options on how to manage my condition, this was so helpful & comforting. I feel lucky to have found him. I would highly recommend him.

If you are seeking an incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, attentive neurologist with terrific bedside manner look no further than Dr. Malkani ("Dr. M")! At my first appointment, Dr. M immediately put me at ease listening carefully to my extensive list of questions and concerns. I appreciated how he considerately answered all of my questions with thoughtful responses. Moreover, Dr. M gave me the option of pursuing extensive testing and an MRI to aid in diagnosis. I was very happy and reassured when he offered to do extensive testing as that is what I opted for. That said, I know some patients prefer not to endure extensive testing and Dr. M does a great job of working with the individual patient for their preferred plan of treatment. Dr. M is EXCELLENT at communicating with patients!  On mychart he always got back to me in a timely manner with meaningful responses. I without a doubt would recommend Dr. M. He has helped me beyond measure and for that I'm beyond appreciative.

I truly trusted and believed this doctor could and would help me and finally relieve me from pain that I’ve suffered for 12 years. Unfortunately he failed me and thinks that it’s all in my head. With all the test and time I’ve wasted with him, I could have spent that time finding someone who is more experienced and knows what they’re doing.

Dr. Brijesh Malkani is one the most caring and profoundly involved doctors with his patients. Dr. Malkani goes above and beyond the call of duty by providing the best options to his patients, and carefully explaining all options available. Dr. Malkani is a very accommodating doctor to his patients, and this is the primary reason why I trust Dr. Malkani’s judgement for my long-term care. Mt. Sinai and St. John’s are fortunate in having Dr. Malkani, for he is the epitome in every organization.

I have been a patient of Dr. Malkani for a number of years. I followed him from his previous group to his present association with Mount Sinai Riverside. He is an excellent neurologist, but more importantly, he is a caring doctor with an engaging "bedside manner". He is a consummate professional, and I have unwavering confidence in his medical knowledge and decisions regarding my health care.

Dr. Malkani's friendly bedside manner is impeccable. His vast knowledge of the brain helped me in my neuroscience course. He truly cares about your well being and isn't just doing his job. Typically I prefer female doctors but I wouldn't trade Dr. Malkani for anyone. He has helped me with my sleep and my concentration. My life is better because of him.
