Dr. Jonathan Robert Malowitz, MD

Jonathan MALOWITZ is a cold hearted sad excuse for a doctor. Dealing with babies and families in delicate situations you need to have top notch bedside manor, be caring, and on your toes! He was none of the above. ***** Though our baby girl came early, she looked great, great color, muscle tone, etc. in fact her 10 min apgar score was 9! We knew that this little girl was a fighter when we were told she already weighed 3 lbs. 2 oz. And kept trying to kick and push the doctors hands off of her. lol The attending neonatologist (who I knew from my previous preemies) said she was doing fine and was stable and they would take care of her - he said his shift was ending and MALOWITZ would take care of her for the rest of the night until he saw me again in the morning. Then...My fiancé and I kept being called into the NICU by the new doctor on shift, telling us that we need to come up to NICU. Our sweet little baby's heart rate was booming but her blood pressure (18/9)and O2 saturation… (8-51%) was extremely low. Her hands and feet were blue and her body now lifeless. After being hooked up to numerous medication pumps, blood plasma transfusion, countless jabs, and even morphine that I ask that she not be given. Along with our "pulling the plug" encouraged multiple times by Norton Suburban Hospital’s cold & condescending, NICU doctor, Dr. Jonathan MALOWITZ. The doctor took it upon himself to pull our daughter's medicines and o2 himself. Little did we know, Dr. Jonathan MALOWITZ had caused her to have internal bleeding and ultimately bleed to death, by inserting an IV incorrectly, on his FORTH attempt, puncturing her vena cava, the largest artery in her tiny body. He turned around and flatly said, "sorry" and walked out. Never once updating us or even let us know what he was thinking. He acted as if we were a waste of his time. After her brief visit of only 9.5 hours, our Princess, Gianna Marcelia Marie passed peacefully a bit after midnight. Holding her perfect tiny lifeless body was one of the most humbling experiences I have ever experienced, though it was also the most confusing and painful. This was the first of sleepless nights we plan to endure as we learn to cope with this great loss. My heart broke that morning as we watched a beautiful sunrise from my hospital room, just one of many beautiful things that our precious daughter will never have the chance to experience with her mother, father, or siblings. **** a week later the pathologist who performed her autopsy told me that he was "100% certain that the cause of death was nothing other than an 'umbilical vein tear' caused by MALOWITZ's inserting the UVC incorrectly. NEVER ONCE did this "doctor" apologize, show remorse, console us, inform us, NOTHING! Please do your research if you're encountered with this person as your infant's NICU doctor!
