Desert Palms Medical Associates

He's a cold fish. My mom's under his care. Albeit she messed with her medication, but how he handled this situation has shown our family he doesn't care. Under his orders he had 35 pounds of fluid taken from her due to edema. She got dehydrated, affecting her kidneys. He has never returned my phone calls. He acts like his pride was wounded. He's a mean person. Totally getting my mom a new doctor.

Every time I have had an appointment with her, I feel like her full attention is to myself, or my husband and takes time to answer every question we ask regarding our health and medical questions. She is a very very pleasing person and makes us feel comfortable.

I first met Dr. Malik while I was in the local Hospital. I had a miserable night, was in massive pain when he can in to see me. He looked a me asked what was wrong and I told him I was under Pain management with a different doctor and that I had missed my pain medication that I take every morning at 4:00am and it was now 8:00am. He went out and contacted my pain management doctor and within about 5 minutes I got a pain shot. Then Dr. Malik came back in to talk to me about my case.

Bedside mannerisms are not comforting, seems like he has an attitude issue, rushes you thru your appointment. Does not spend time explaining questions on personal health issues. Frowns on questions regarding personal health issues. He rushes you thru your appointment. Does not like when you ask multiple questions regarding personal health issues. The main thing is ATTITUDE.
