Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I strongly advise against using Dr. Malekzadeh. In late 2023, I fell and was informed in the ER that I needed surgery on my radius bone. The ER at Fairfax INOVA recommended Dr. M. He seemed confident and said surgery was necessary, so I had it on January 2, 2024.Recovery was very painful, and my PT wasn’t progressing well. I struggled to regain movement in my arm and hand. At my one-month post-op, Dr. M. did an X-ray, criticized me for not exercising enough, and stated that if my condition didn’t improve within two weeks, it never would. This scared me, and I pushed myself harder in PT, enduring aggressive sessions that left me in tears.Two weeks later, another doctor in the same office informed me that the implant Dr. M. placed was too large, requiring revision surgery. Despite multiple attempts, I never heard back from Dr. M. After consulting several other surgeons, I had a revision surgery in March by another surgeon and am finally doing better despite Dr. M’s incompetence.

I would recommend him to my family should they need Dr. Malekzadeh's services. My doctor was not available to preform my emergency surgery. Prior to my accident I had no contact with Dr. Malekzadeh. My surgery and recovery have been without any incidents.

From my first contact, Dr. Malekzadeh and all of the staff has shown professionalism and caring. My 2 surgeries at the Inova were performed with the superior talent of Dr. Malekzadeh and his OR and office staff. Pain was always a primary concern and dealt with immediately. Referral for PT was timely and to knowledgeable therapists. I highly recommend Dr Malekzadeh and to all in need of orthopedic care. His professionalism and demeanor make him ideal for handling traumatic circumstances.
