Does not have a clue about real world struggles of families with aging parents. Condescending. Entitled. Really zero help at all.

Dr Malensek is an excellent doctor. My wife and I are both in our 70s so have seen many a doctor over those years. And we have several doctors in our family. We moved here from Montgomery and he was recommended by several people, including the doctors in our family. Been to him for annual physical and a couple of other issues and he has been excellent.

Dr Malensek spends the perfect amount of time with his patients and make sure that they completely understand all instructions. When he comes in the room he has looked over the notes from previous visits so that he is aware of what is going on and ask follow up questions. Great bedside manner. I have recommended him to friends and family. He is a great quarterback and gatekeeper for my medical team.

Dr. Frank is one of the most caring, compassionate, intelligent and hard working physicians in the practice of geriatric medicine. He takes such good care of my dad; I feel, as if dad is part of his personal family. Thank you Dr. Frank for all that you do for dad and your other patients, too.

As a 64 year old male I feel Dr. Frank Malensek has to be the most professional and knowledgable doctor I have had the privilege of knowing as a patient. And I have been to a lot of doctors both those in private practice and those in the military during my 23 years in the Air Force. Unfortunately for his own patients at Southview he has now moved up the chain of command for St. Vincents Hospital. But this will be a blessing for all patients at St. Vincents East.
