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 moved to the area a couple years ago and am so happy to have found Dr. Malinics! He is well trained, easy to talk to and he answered all my questions. Having worked in the medical field myself, I understand that physicians are often very busy and have emergencies to deal with, so I very much appreciated his time. I highly recommed Dr. Malinics without reservation.

Due to the departure of Dr. Devlin, I was switched to Dr. Malinics. He may be a decent cardiologist but his manner is sadly lacking. He was unfriendly to say the least, spent little time with me and did not explain much of anything. I had the feeling that he was angry because I had been Devlin's patient for many years and now he had to take me on. I'm going to look for another doctor.

Had a second visit with Dr Malinics today. Since my last visit, I’ve completed a stress test, 30 days of event monitoring, several EKGs, two blood panels. I saw dr Malinics 5 minutes, if that long. I had a few questions. After two questions, he stood and basically dismissed me, shook my hand and told me he’d see me in 3 months. He did say he was pleased with my results but rushed out of the room when I began to ask him a few questions. I only had 5 questions. I was expecting to have a decent amount of time. He spent more time typing in my chart than he did talking with me. Very frustrated and disappointed.

Dr. Malinics took care of my father for years. He is kind, caring, and incredibly good at what he does.

Dr. M is the best! I had a racing feeling in my heart and Dr. Malinics diagnosed my problem and helped me understand what was happening the whole time. I was very nervous as I usually don't like going to doctors, but he was so nice and made me feel comfortable. Now I don't worry anymore when I need to see him. I also like that he calls me back right away when I need him.

When I saw Dr. Malinics I was very nervous that I had a serious heart problem. Dr. Malinics made me feel right at ease and told me he would figure out what was wrong and to try to relax. I could really tell he cared by the way he listened to me. As it turned out I did have a minor problem, but Dr. Malinics has helped me and I feel so much better! I always know if I call for an appointment, he will make time for me.
