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 Doctor
I had cataract surgery last Spring, and was amazed at the difference in my sight. Dr. Malik is not a ‘warm and fuzzy’ doctor, and is very soft spoken, but he is an excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs cataract surgery.

Not impressed at all with his level of skill and knowledge diagnosing my particular eye condition. Sought a 2nd opinion from another eye surgeon who was spot on regarding my issue and proceeded with a surgical procedure that worked extremely well and corrected my condition. Would not recommend this eye surgeon. Felt very uncomfortable. Seek another opinion.

5.0 /5 Surgery went very well and very quick and was painless. My fear of the surgery was unfounded. Everything went fine. I was very pleased with Dr. Malik and his staff. Would recommend him and his staff. Thanks for my eyesight again with little or no glasses needed.

I have never written a review for any doctor, but my experience with Dr. Malik was excellent and he has my highest recommendation. He seems to be truly concerned with the well being of his patients and makes a great effort to assure that the surgical procedure will have a positive outcome.
