In his practice, Dr. Malik prioritizes informed decision-making. When determining a treatment plan, he walks each patient through the risks and benefits of all their options—from lifestyle modifications, medical therapy, and when needed, more invasive treatments. He positions them to engage in monitoring their own cardiovascular status using simple parameters, such as exercise tolerance, blood pressure readings, and rhythm monitoring with the goal of improving their quality of life as well as longevity.

"I treat my patients like I would treat my family members or how I would like to be treated. For much of my life, since I was a collegiate rower�at the University of Pennsylvania,�I have been an active participant in rowing/crew. It's the ultimate team sport—everyone has to be synchronized and on the same page. That's how I approach the care of my patients. When we all work together—patients, families, and physicians- we achieve the best outcomes." —Salman M. Malik, MD
