I read the patient comments and was really worried she was rude BUT she was wonderful ! Nice as could be! She did nerve conductor test on me. Apologized when she knew she was gonna hurt me. Thanks for a good experience!

I am in the medical field myself and have never seen a doctor as rude as she was to my father. She kept asking him where his pain was and then telling him that wasn't his problem area. That he was wrong. Not only was she wrong in her diagnosis but she would not give him any options. Only physical therapy. You do not give a patient physical therapy for a bulging disc. That could make it worse. I would never recommend anyone to her and I am still very offended at how my father was treated and spoken to. She should be reported to the board. I am outraged at how rude she was, and I have worked with some pretty rude doctors, but at least they knew what they were doing. She did not.

I have been having severe backpain and although we haven't fixed it yet I am pretty happy with the course that we are on. Dr Maladkar is easy to talk to and seemed to be right on my issue. Overall I am very pleased with her and have another visit in a couple of weeks.

Possibly the rudest doctor I have ever met. She has zero bedside manners

This doctor should not have a medical license. All she knows how to tell you is that your pain is all in your head & that maybe you should get a different job. She says her back hurts all the time but she still has to come to work. Its funny to me that my MRI shows three disc bulging L4-5 & S-1 but the pain is all in my head. REALLY?? Doctor's are not suppose to tell their patients this kind of nonsense. I would NOT refer my worse enemy to this doctor. Now the staff is great but Dr maladkar does not deserve a medical license......
