One of the worst doctors I've ever seen
This guy is the absolute worst. Saw him over ten years ago and he patronized me and walked out on me mid-question. Reason I feel so compelled to leave him a review now is that I just requested some records and saw that he wrote "somatization disorder" in my charts. Turns out I have inflammatory small-fiber neuropathy which he might have discovered if he even bothered to look. Stop assuming your patients are exaggerating or obsessing over things. I was literally in THAT much pain. At least he inspired me to pursue medicine so there'll be one less Alan Maloon in the future workforce.

Highly recommend Dr. Maloon
Dr. Maloon is very knowledgeable. He listens with compassion and adapts treatment in collaboration with the patient. Over 10 years ago, Dr. Maloon was the first doctor to adequately explain my condition to me. I will always be grateful to him for his careful analysis and for his clear explanation of the issue, as well as for his explanation of the treatment plan.

He was absolutely awful. He never acknowledged anything I had to say. He never diagnosed me with anything. I’m having a lot of issues with my health right now and that didn’t seem to matter to him at all. I had a whole bunch of notes with what I’m dealing with he didn’t even look at them. I wasn’t even in his office for 10 minutes. I hope I never see him again

If I could give this doctor zero stars I would. I went in complaining of pins and needles, numbness, visions problems, cognitive impairment, falling, tripping, dropping things.. etc. Dr. M. looked at me all of five minutes and didn’t even do an exam or check my blood pressure. Told me I had nothing wrong with me but he would send me for an MRI to prove to me that it’s all in my head and there’s nothing wrong with me. The office never called to schedule the MRI and when I called to leave multiple voicemails I received no call back. They literally blew me off completely. Dr. Maloon proceeded to tell me I just had migraines and sent me home with migraine medication. Migraine medications severely lower blood pressure in people who already have low BP. Which I do and he didn’t even check it so how would he know? Very disappointed in this doctor. Don’t waste your time here. You won’t get answers. I went back to my Rheum who in fact did blood work and is suspecting MS.

I have been seen by Dr. Maloon on several occasions. He is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. My first visit was after a concussion that resulted in a brain bleed. Dr. Maloon has been watching over me for the last 2 years. I would highly recommend Dr. Maloon.

Always caring and concerned! UTD on current literature and treatment options, and exploring new ways to help ongoing problems. Has students which are being given wonderful experience to learn and practice skills. Dr. Maloon is a great mentor to learn from. Dr. Maloon is always patient, optimistic, and personable. Really knowledgeable and reassuring. Conservative about keeping to a routine that works, but not afraid to adjust for better outcome.

I have been dealing with migraines for over 8 years. Dr. Maloon finally was a doctor who listened to my struggles and put me on a preventative. It is working! Although I still have an occasional migraine, they do not last for days, and I feel like migraines do not control my life!
