Dr. Nidhi Malhotra, MD

I have been going to Dr.Malhotra for several years. She and her staff have always been kind and caring. Dr Malhotra took the time to listen to me and explain when I had questions. Having been to another gastroenterologist many years ago, I appreciate her knowledge and manner when treating her patients.

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Malhotra. I went into the appointment feeling nervous and worried that I might be judged or reprimanded, but she was incredibly positive, supportive, and encouraging. There was an issue with my appointment that was not her fault, but she was kind enough to fit me in anyway, which I greatly appreciated. She took the time to listen to my concerns and thoughtfully talk through everything with me during the visit. I felt very comfortable and supported, and I’m very grateful for the care she provided.

If I could give zero stars I would. Nidhi Malhotra is the absolute worst doctor I have ever had the displeasure of working with. To begin, she was very cold and so unfriendly. She rushed me through my appointment and interrupted me multiple times while I was trying to explain different symptoms and my history. She just had an overall demeanor that she didn’t care. To make matters far worse, Nidhi Malhotra knew that I had just completed a year of inpatient, residential, PHP, and IOP treatment for an eating disorder that she was informed by my PCP was SEVERE. I had not even been out of treatment a whole month when I had my appointment with her. I typically avoid getting weighed at the doctor since being made aware of my weight post eating disorder treatment for anorexia is obviously not helpful. However, I let them weigh me at Nidhi Malhotra’s office because I figured they would need my weight for the upcoming colonoscopy anesthesia. I stepped on the scale backwards and asked that they… not post my weight in my discharge papers due to my history. Despite knowing that I am a patient in recovery from a severe history of anorexia and confirming with me that they would not make my weight known, Nidhi Malhotra and her team completely disregarded what we talked about and posted notes to my chart with both my weight and BMI. I was aware that I had rapidly gained a lot of weight in treatment, but didn’t know how much. Nidhi Malhotra noted on my chart that because of my high BMI I need to have the colonoscopy done at the hospital and that she suggests I try to maintain a healthy weight and BMI. She also wrote that I was asking for a colonoscopy, but my GI issues are likely due to “many mental health issues” which we NEVER talked about. What she wrote in my chart did not correlate with anything we actually discussed. I feel completely dismissed by this “doctor” and I relapsed with my eating disorder after seeing her notes in my chart, as she repeatedly referred to my high BMI and because of her I found out that my weight is way higher than I ever imagined. This may seem small to some, but this is highly upsetting to somebody with a long history of severe anorexia. One of my regular doctors also tried to get in touch with her after this incident and Nidhi refused to get back to her. What I found interesting is that after my appointment on May 20th I repeatedly got texts and emails to review my experience with Nidhi Malhotra. When I clicked the link to leave my review, there were two different ones - one for positive reviews that took you to Google and one for negative reviews that privately went to the office. I believe this is why there are so many positive reviews for this doctor on Google and here. But the negative reviews don’t lie. Nidhi Malhotra is a horrible doctor and my regular doctors and I are absolutely disgusted with her. Lastly, she and her team never followed up with me about my concerns. What they did do is cancel my colonoscopy less than two weeks before it was scheduled without even calling me to discuss it. They sent me a portal message cancelling and claiming that it’s because the hospital where the colonoscopy was supposed to take place doesn’t take my insurance, which I know for a fact is false because I have had several procedures there. So now I am stuck with no answers to my raging GI symptoms and I’m in an eating disorder relapse after only being out of treatment for 2 months as of today. Nidhi Malhotra should not be practicing medicine and I strongly recommend that anybody looking for a GI doctor stays away.

Dr. Malhotra is very caring. She explained to me in detail about the procedure she was performing and made sure that I was comfortable and not in any pain. She answered all my questions with patience.

I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Malhotra. I also appreciated the friendly office staff.

Dr. Malhotra is a caring and professional doctor. I appreciate her attention to details regarding her patients. I’ve been with her since I moved to NC from the DMV area in 2021.

Dr Malhotra is a wonderful listener who was very reassuring. I really appreciated the time she took to address my health concerns. I know I am in great hands.
