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.

Very clear discussion.

Dr. Malafa is the kindest most knowledgeable surgeon. He explains everything in detail and makes you feel so comfortable. He saved my life taking out ipmn cyst with high grade dysplasia, and had no complications. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is, and really cares about the patient, explaining everything in such detail. I am very blessed to have found him.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 and Dr Malafa did my surgeries. On October 6th I will celebrate 21 years cancer free and I owe it all to Dr Malafa. Thank you so much Karolyn Seales Springfield, Il.

5/04 he removed a schwanomma tumor off my L2 nerve root leaving my entire right abdominal wall paralyzed. It took him 3 yrs to tell me it was low grade cancer and promised to find out what happened, he never did. My life has been painful but I'm surviving despite the damage left behind.
