Roanoke Partners In Health

I miss my doctor, she is so amazing and truly caring. After relocating I’ve still been unable to find a doctor as kind and knowledgeable as Dr. Malinchak. Highly recommend for anyone especially women to see her!

Dr Matala was a good provider at one time, over the years she began to get too many patients making it hard to ever get appointments, sick or physical. By first few minutes of calling when they open she is already booked. Then will tell you go to emergency room or urgent care. She would tell you she will call you with results …only to never get call , you will have to follow up and call yourself! Not to mention her office staff & nurse are rude!!

Horrible! Dr. Sweeney was my PCP for many years and I finally had enough. She misdiagnosed several serious medical problems, like an impending heart attack, skin cancer, tendonitis, to name a few. She billed my insurance for things she did not do and she is always in a hurry! She does not listen and there is no partnership in your healthcare. When I confronted her about these issues she pointed her finger in my face, called me a liar and, told me to leave the building. My online Privia record was taken down almost immediately. I could not recommend her to anyone! And her office manager is very rude, but that's another story!

Dr. Malinchak has been my GP as well as my husband’s doctor for almost 20 years. She has consistently provided expert care during routine office visits as well as more urgent care while I healed from a car accident and again after a severe case of pneumonia. If during a given appointment there is a long wait time consider checking in with the office staff. I’ve had that happen due to overbooking, but it was resolved promptly. Dr. Malinchak takes the time to listen thoroughly and is one of the Roanoke Valley’s top Docs!

Always in a hurry, but also somehow always late. When you make your appointment, you better be comfortable telling the receptionist every detail of what you want to be seen for. If you bring something up that has not been specifically scheduled, Dr. Malinchak will respond with "Sorry, I can't answer that. We schedule very specific times for each question/issue you have." And yet she is never on time to see her patients. I have waited up to an hour and a half in the waiting room, on top of an additional 45 minutes in the exam room. All for a regular checkup. When I asked about getting blood work done, I was rushed out of there and told I'd have to make a separate appointment to TALK about getting blood work done. All of this was before COVID, so it's not like they had to take special precautions.

Dr. Sweeney has been my family’s doctor for more than 15 years. She is the most caring, thorough doctor I’ve ever had. I trust her completely with our health.

Dr. Malenchak has been my wife's family physician for almost twenty years. My wife, Vickie, is alive today only because of the care of this doctor, who treated her when she came down with a mysterius pneumonia of unknown origin before Christmas 2003 and lapsed into a coma for over two weeks. Dr. Malenchaks's consistent and prayerful care for her since has blessed her full life since.

Dr.Sweeey is the best doctor that I have ever had. She will diagnose your illness and explain it to u. She always is very friendly.

Love, love, love her and her staff..... she always helps me when I'm in need. She always hugs me and takes the time to ask about my family. she listens to me when I have something to say.

Very intelligent but barely lets you speak. An impatient, dismissive attitude, especially for concerns that aren’t immediately apparent or may need long-term investigation. Doesn’t seem to trust your experience of your own body. Have seen her for a while and continually disappointed in lack of care.

Dr. Malinchak is a great listener, and has always had time to spend with me as a patient. She really cares.

The best, most caring Dr I have ever met!!!! Always listens to you and makes good choices about your care. Would definitely recommend her!

Dr. Sweeney's support staff, especially her nurse and one of the front office receptionists, need to be more professional when interacting with patients. Her nurse's attitude verges on rudeness.

This Doctor is Always in a hurry. She is too busy to listen and help her patients. Some of the staff in the office is extremely condescending and very rude. They don't see to want to be bothered with any questions. They promise to fill out forms, call in RX's, respond to your questions and it never happens. Thank God there are other doctors in the area. I would never recommend this office to anyone. It was never comfortable to ask a question.

She has been our family physician for years. She does a great job!

Have all your questions prepared before you meet Dr. Malinchak - I asked her a question I had forgotten after my physical and she became rather rude. Also, if money is an issue, be sure to ask what questions are not covered by an annual physical. Even though I had confirmed with both the practice and my insurance company that the physical would be completely covered, I slammed me with a hefty bill because I had asked a question outside the scope of a regular physical.
