Dr. Ben has taken care of me for nearly three years and I consider it a blessing. He cares about his patients and does what he considers best for them. When things are going along great for the patient, Dr. Ben doesn’t change your dosages or meds just to be making changes. He does what is best for you. In addition he takes time to go over your condition and your meds with you. First Class treatment from a First Class Doctor. John Keim Liver Transplant Patient

I was refrred to Dr. Maliakkal by my GI doctor in Buffalo as he could not control my autoimmune liver disease. He got me an appointment, diagnosed the problem and made adjustments in my medications. He called me every week to discuss my lab results and now my liver is in perfect shape.
