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.

Dr. Mal is always thorough in annual exams. Listens to concerns and provided excellent advice and recommendations. He is always so positive and encouraging. I have been his patient for about 40 years and glad of it. Sandy, his nurse, is also excellent. I strongly recommend this great team!

I went in for my annual physical. Doctor Mal gives quality care and time whenever I go in for a visit. He is an excellent doctor who always listens very carefully and has a solution for my condition. His nurse, Sandy, is also very helpful and they make a really great team. I am 79 years old and I have had many different PCP's. Doctor Mal is the very best PCP that I have seen in my lifetime. I highly recommend Doctor Mal!

I had a very good appointment with Dr Mal he was thorough as usual always has time to to answer any questions and explains everything. If he has lab work done as soon as he gets the results he calls and let's you know in a timely manner.

Dr. Mal's listening ability is 1st rate. He has been our family doctor for over 20 years. Questions are always answered to my satisfaction. Phone calls are always returned. Current MA Sandy is w/o peer. There have been times that I have waited past my appt. time, and always received an apology for the delay, but learned over the years Dr. Mal will listen and tend to your needs w/o watching the clock. That is the real practice of medicine. Thanks Mal!

Dr. Maliszewski and staff always make my annual checkup a pleasant experience. I'm always seen very quickly with little or no wait time. My lab results are always given to me within a few days and Dr. Mal always call me in person to explain the numbers.

I consider my visit with Dr. Mal and crew to have been friendly, professional and overall outstanding.
I cannot say the same for the HCA Midwest Physicians Portal. I do not have the education necessary to interpret the results of all those tests. What use is all that raw data for me? Thankfully, Dr. Mal gave me a verbal summary over the telephone that was most useful. I doubt that I will go back to the portal since it is of no apparent use to me.

Dr. Maliszewski has been my physician for at least 30 years, and he has been a caring and thoughtful person with respect to a variety of ailments over that period of time. He can be contacted in emergency situations as well as for periodic appointments. It is with greatest respect that I can recommend him as a physician to anyone.
