Very rushy doctor. After initial appointment, if you have any problems, he won't give you another appointment. He'll just call you back annoyed and give you a very vague answer to your concerns. I've heard "I don't know" so many times from him for problems he is supposed to be treating me for. My primary care has been more knowledgeable than this "specialist" which is concerning.

I have been to his office twice w a wait time of 2 hours each time. He is so overbooked it is ridiculous. Third time having a colonoscopy, first time w him, first time I felt the procedure. Do not recommend this Dr unless u have a lot of time to waste in waiting rooms and want to feel the procedure.

Very Friendly and professional. The Staff was very helpful as well. He made me understand everything and gave clear instructions for how to take care of myself. The overall feeling while in Dr Maliks care was very comfortable. He has taken great care of all of my family members as well. Would recommend him to all of my friends.Thank You Dr Malik!

My local anesthetic wore out during a procedure which was quite painful and traumatic and I experienced serious side effects such as internal bleeding during my recovery and resulted in a 3-day hospital stay.
