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.

Very caring
She was very kind . Toke her time speaking to us about my mother’s blood test and assured us . It is very hard to find a dr that truly cares for their patients but Dr Jacqueline is one of rare gem. She is amazing. I am glad my mom is on her care.

Highly Recommended Hematology/Oncology Doctor!
Dr. Jacqueline Malekirad is an excellent and caring doctor! I would definitely recommend Dr. Malekirad to anyone who needs a top-rated hematology/oncology doctor! This is my first visit to this office. Everyone I interacted with in this office are friendly and organized. Dr. Malekirad is very knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. She spent time listening to me and answering questions in a way that was understandable. My appointment wasn’t rushed at all, which is extremely hard to find in today’s healthcare system. Dr. Malekirad patiently explained my next steps and options. I also sent her a non-urgent follow up question the day after my appointment via my medical portal (myChart), I wasn’t expecting to receive her reply within the same day. I actually received her reply within an hour with a follow up phone call from her office shortly thereafter. I’m very pleased with my appointment.

Horrible, stay away!
She forgot to ask for my mom's Oncotype and now there's a one-month delay after her surgery and she hasn't started chemo or any treatment yet. Per other doctors, this delay can cause complications in a case that could easily be treated. Awful bedside manners, no clear explanations, seems like she doesn't know what she's doing and won't return multiple calls I've had to their office. KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES AS FAR AWAY FROM HER AS POSSIBLE.

I finally got answers!
Dr. Malekirad was very warm and caring. She answered all of my questions, provided examples for clarification and I felt like she was listening when I spoke to her. When she asked me a question, she made eye contact so I knew she was listening to my responses. She was very thorough and attentive. I appreciated the fact that she was honest when she didn’t know the answer to my question and explained what was necessary to find the answer. She checked again before ending the appointment to make sure all of my questions were answered and that I was in agreement with the plan of care moving forward. Dr. Malekirad was a breath of fresh air after a lousy experience and has begun to restore my faith in the medical community.

I am still having mixed feelings about Dr. M. Her bedside manner needs work and she needs to learn how to listen. She constantly talks over you, and is in and out. Being diagnosed with cancer is extremely scary. I wonder why she is an oncologist. She lacks empathy and she shows no interest in providing you with quality care. I only continue to see her because of the other health care professionals involved with my care. Looking for another oncologist.
