Dr Malina is unprofessional and her diagnoses are false. She will tell you anything just to keep you coming back. She makes you think she care but she don't. She is a deceiver and is irresponsible to her patients. It's all about the Medicaid.

Me encanta la Dr Y Malina, tengo dos niñas la mayor tiene 4 años y desde que nacio la llevo donde ella. La Dr. Es muy paciente, se toma su tiempo explicando, las niñas las adoran porque ella es muy cariñosa con ellas. Nunca e tenido problemas a la hora de hacer una cita. La recomiendo a mis amistades porque considero que ella es muy buena pediatra

Dr.Malina is outstanding. I have been to doctors that won't even touch my child during an exam. Dr. Malina is very hands on, informative and supportive. My child have been with her for over 5 years now and i couldn't be more happier. Stop looking and go to Dr.Malina.
