From the moment I was greeted by Malik in registration I was instantly put at ease. He walked me (actually scooted me) to my next contact easing my nerves.

When I returned home my friends could not believe that I had the surgery because I had a lot of neck movement so soon. I would recommend UofC to anyone for your surgical and hospital needs.

Everybody wants a doctor who is the perfect marriage of brainy and bedside…read more Brainy enough that you know you're in good hands; accessible enough (bedside) that he can break down the medical jargon and give it to you straight. Dr. Robert Sargis is that combo. The real-life McDreamy/McSteamy that everyone wants. Dr. Sargis is not my doctor, he is my dad's doctor. I found him after my dad started exhibiting some of the ill-effects of Type-2 diabetes, and we could not get adequate assistance from his primary care physician. I took my dad's health into my own hands and sought a specialist, an endocrinologist who could give dad a full work-up, and proper assessment and follow up. We hit the jackpot with Dr. Sargis. First, the Kovler Diabetes Center at University of Chicago is second-to-none. The level of skill and care for diabetics in all stages of the disease is exemplary at Kovler. But Dr. Sargis is special. There was a time last year when I thought we were going to lose my dad -- Dr. Sargis' skill and care is definitely a *huge* part of what helped get dad back on track and, indeed, to be thriving today. Once, at the office of my dad's primary care physician at a medical center I won't name (yet), we waited 4 hours to see his doctor. Just like we were at a free clinic. Four hours. Despite Dr. Sargis' heavy case load (it took awhile to get the first appointment), he sees dad at the EXACT time of his appointment. He doesn't rush. He asks thoughtful questions. His analysis of bloodwork and creating a specialized plan for his patients that includes not only medication but also diet & exercise is some of the best I've seen in all the years I've been helping my dad with his condition. Dad's primary care physician was reluctant to switch his meds or try a different combination of his meds even after he was exhibiting some of the worst side effects from them. Dr. Sargis recommended a different combination of meds and it has exponentially improved the quality of my dad's life. He follows up promptly with suggestions and to find out how dad is doing, and gives dad the tools to empower himself as much as he can. You really cannot ask for much more from a specialist. He's a pro who goes above and beyond. I've learned a lot from watching dad's condition and I certainly hope that I can avoid T2 diabetes altogether (gotta lay off those cupcakes!) But in the unlikely event I have to deal with it one day, I would not hesitate to utilize Dr. Sargis. Cannot recommend him highly enough to anybody who is diabetic and seeking detailed, specialized and innovative care.

That was the reason why I started to visit Doctor Mallick. I was so thankful to discover he was also a primary care physician.

When I have a concern about my health and how I am feeling, he makes my concern, his concern. I thank Jehovah God, that Doctor Mallick is my physician. -David Collier
