“I recently had bunion surgery with Dr. Malik and I’m really glad I chose his office. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions, which I really appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful the whole time, and everything from scheduling to surgery day to follow up visits went smoothly. Overall it was a great experience and I’d go back here again if I ever needed anything.”Zy Le4 months ago · GOOGLE VERIFIED REVIEW
“I've had an ingrown toenail for 3 years and have had it removed 4 times during the years, each time it grew back and never healed. I went and saw Dr. Malik and his awesome assistant, Summer and receptionist Kelly. Dr. Malik did the procedure and 2 weeks later I feel like this is the best decision I've made all year. I am now pain free and couldn't be happier. Thank you all so much.”Seth Kessler2 weeks ago · GOOGLE VERIFIED REVIEW
