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.

Wonderful doctor and a great human being
He and his staff are kind, compassionate and professional. I feel important and well taken care of care of. In my opinion you will never find better care than in the hands of Dr. Mali.

Hats off to Dr. Jimmy Mali at EmergeOrtho
Dr. Mali has to be a top rated Doctor in his field. You will never find a more gentle, soft spoken Doctor who genuinely cares for his patients. I show up nearly frozen with fear each time. Once Dr. Mali enters the room, it all changes. His calmness and mannerism always makes my experience pleasant. Thank you EmergOrtho for the service Dr. Mali provides to each of us. Please let him know what he means to his patients.

Best that there is!
Dr Mali is awesome . I don’t know what I would do without him. He treats my CRPS with oblations and blocks. Always takes his time with me and tells me exactly what he is going to do beforehand. He has probably done 16 or 17 on me and has kept my issue at as much bay as possible . Gave me a shot in my hip this morning as well. Super great. You are in good hands with him. So thankful for him.

Cyst drainage from shoulder
This doctor went above and beyond. He kept me informed on everything he was doing so there was no surprise. He even went above and beyond to make sure I was numb which was more than I expected being my body tends to not do well with this medication. He allowed me to see the fluid he removed and informed me that if I had busted inside my body that it wasn’t dangerous to my heart. Very informative doctor. If you’re a person who wants all the information this is the guy for you. Thanks Doc. Sincerely, Devin

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Mali is proficient in his field. I have had other doctors who have been in his area of work, but none are better than him, to date. He is confident and knows what he is doing. He has reduced my pain immensely. Dr. Mali is an asset and a pride to his profession . It is my honest opinion that those of us who have had the honor to be his patients are lucky to have him and can be confident that he truly cares for us. It is more then just a job for him. I truly respect Dr. Mali. We need more doctors like him.

Double back injections
Dr Mali and staff are amazing. After seeing the size of the needles I was sure I’d be waking up with extreme soreness, but the light touch and expert care was apparent after coming to after the vein champagne the anesthesiologist applied. Highly recommended for skill, professionalism, and service.

Sedated bilateral lumbar nerve block
Overall experience was fantastic. Team was welcoming and accommodating, nurses and anesthesia had a soft touch during IV setup and removal, and although sedated by could tell by the lack of bruising and after procedure pain that Dr Mali had the same soft touch. 100% recommend

Fantastic!
I have lived in chronic back pain since 1996. I've had several back surgeries. I have really painful flair ups where my back locks and swelling causes horrible pressure on my two levels back fusion area. The pain is so severe I end up in bed for several weeks. Dr Mali is the first Doctor who has been able to help me. I go for injections whenever the flair ups last more than a couple of weeks. The results have been amazing. To say I'm grateful is an understatement!
