Dr. Saleem Malik, MD

If zero stars was an option, I’d chose it. He ignores the obvious issues we are having with my son and refuses to look into anything farther and when I pushed him to consider further testing to verify the cyst in my 21 month olds brain was benign he said “I’m the specialist.” Then huffed and said he’d order whatever tests I told him to if it made me feel better (like I enjoy torturing my baby) and said he was sending me to endocrinology instead. I have asked several times to not be a patient of Dr. Malik’s but I get told we have no choice. If I bring up a concern he flat out ignores me, but if my husband says the same exact thing it’s addressed.

We love Dr. Malik and his staff. A nurse is always available by phone and email. Dr. Malik works well with our local neurologist as well; they really compliment each other. The recommendations from Dr. Malik have been spot-on for my son as well. He really listens to my husband and I as well; he stays in the room from 15-35 minutes. He is a board member of the Epilepsy Foundation of Texas as well. Love that he gives back to this fine organization. Would highly recommend Dr. Malik!

He refused to answer any questions I had regarding the possible surgery he recommended for my daughter. And when asked about the anesthesia for the mri to determine if there was a problem, he said he couldn't answer that. He was more interested in unnecessary procedures. And refused to look into any alternatives other than invasive means. He called cps because we decided to get a second opinion. We by no means "neglected her medical needs". I am very unhappy with this experience.
