I do NOT recommend this practice for two basic reasons. Dr Malik is very knowledgeable. My problem was it became impossible to consult with the doctor directly at all! The other staff did not consult. I'd make an appointment. I'd confirm the appointment on the phone with the office. I'd specifically ask if the Doctor herself would be at my drug injection. I'd call the office 20 minutes prior to my actual appointment to verify that the doctor "is in". For two weeks running, I made these careful arrangements to see my Doctor in person. And for those two appointments, Dr Malik was not in the office. I'd arrive and suddenly, mysteriously, in an emergency, she just wasn't there. She was not available to discuss my diet or medication. She wouldn't call me or text me. She was impossible to reach. So my ability to connect or contact or see or consult with my weight loss doctor was totally and completely unavailable to me. But after TWO NO SHOWS from my Doctor, I got tired of the BS. I came to the opinion that Rybelsus pills and this drug has a different name as an injection, Ozempic, was the only method of treatment Dr Malik seems offer. The second major problem I had was the medication itself. Taking this new miracle diet drug was by far, the most horrible medication I've ever taken. It seemed like the treatment for over eating is extreme nausea towards food. Wake up, think about breakfast, get overcome with strong waves of nausea. Anytime you consider food or ingest any food, your stomach would roil. It seemed exactly like I was injecting POISON as a diet control.
No thanks.
My suggestion is to look for a more helpful and approachable doctor.
I do not recommend any physician who absolutely refuses to have ongoing consultations with the patient. read more
