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.

I felt like I was in an interrogation. I understand that doctors get behind but his MA told me some patients take longer than others then he came in with another MA. He was rapidly firing questions and not listening to my responses then asking the same questions all over again. The MA stood at the computer shaking her head. Worst doctor ever. After the first 2 questions I already knew I was wasting my time and money with him. At the end all I could say is, are we through here? Never going back.

If it wasn't for Dr. Malik and his thoroughness, my carcinoid tumors would have never been discovered and treated. I am so thankful to him for saving my life and giving me more happy years to torment my wife. He also has a wonderful sense of humor, which is so refreshing.

??My fiancé was admitted to Dameron Hospital in Stockton almost a 2 week stay. Dr. Malik diagnosed him with diverticulosis and colitis ,Which he had excruciating stomach pain. With Dr. Malik's care and the nurse at dameron my fiancé has been great since ,He recommended taking acidophilus for the stomach. Also the nurse stated he could've got food poisoning just a heads up, From 1 of these off Road taco truck's. Which will and could cost you your life. He now avoids those side road taco truck'

The worst Doctor I have ever even heard of. He is ridiculously rude and does not care about his patient. He is not helpful at all. And he has anger management issues.
