As a Lyme literate functional medicine doctor, Dr. Malik is very knowledgeable and experienced and dives deep into root cause medicine. I had seen 9 doctors/specialists with no diagnosis, and she was able to run tests and find out the cause of my mysterious symptoms. She takes a holistic approach, emphasizing changing your eating, getting enough sleep, movement, reducing stress and using various modalities to treat. I appreciate her ability to prescribe regular medicines as well as treat with 3rd party researched supplements and herbs. Although it's all an out-of-pocket expense and treatment takes awhile, I have finally been able to feel better and get my life back. The office is very clean, mold free, and relaxing too. Thank you! read more

2 stars bc they are polite and professional . Less 3 bc they talked me into endless, futile blood tests as well as prescribed several " medications" that landed me in the ER. Go somewhere else esp if you have any health issues or allergies. Mystery pills they prescribe i don't approve of at all. Waste of money and energy and ended up bed ridden for 2.5 months due to several adverse reactions to their " treatments. " Too much to get into but in brief the pills interfered with medications I take to live and function, this is most recent. Last year anaphylaxis twice from the random stuff taken. If I had the energy and time ( which I've lost due to their practice) - I'd possibly bring a suit for malpractice. Fortunately for them, I was robbed of both. Just to note I take full responsibility for agreeing to take stuff the company wasn't even sure of the effects or ingredients . This being said, after the first reaction i agreed to substitute something else, same issue. This is after telling the practice my health issues , meds I have to take to stay alive, and endless allergies. At one appointment the physician was not aware a suggestion she made contained a certain ingredient. That's malpractice at worst , or simple ineptitude at best. Footnote- I take responsibility for continuing to try different drugs despite the doctors several mistakes. ( they were aware of what I could/couldn't do and the medications I have to take to stay alive. I figured I'm already in maybe see where this goes, huge mistake. ) Several times. Then at one appointment made a suggestion I had to correct. ( that enzyme landed me in the hospital last year. I looked your suggestion up it's almost identical ). " oh yeah" If that's not incompetence the patient knows more than the physician I don't know what is. They couldn't bother? Or are merely incapable? Who knows. read more

I've seen Dr. Malik on an off. I would only recommend her if you are not super sensitive to medications, not sensitive emotionally and don't have depression and/or anxiety. She is not sensitive when discussing anxiety and does not seem to understand how difficult it is to deal with such a condition. I have a particularly hard case because I have a few health issues at the same time. Treatments she has suggested have not worked and have produced bad side effects. When I went to see her about this, she made me feel like it was my fault and that my body was "too sensitive". It almost felt like she was giving up on me because I could not tolerate her treatment. She said: None of my patients have reacted that way. Why is that necessary to tell someone that isn't feeling well? It almost felt like she was blaming me. She even said that it was hard on her when I wasn't responding well/not following her treatment. I don't understand why she had to make it about herself. I'm the sick patient that is paying her quite a bit to figure out my health issues and get me feeling better. I shouldn't have to feel bad for not getting better. It's her job to figure out why I'm not getting better. She also told me my anxiety was out of control and I got the sense she was implying my health issues were not completely real and all in my head. When I told her I had done research about one of my health issues and offered a suggestions, she said I should stop reading because it was getting in the way of treatment. A doctor should never discourage their patients from being well informed and being their own advocates but that's what she was doing. If I don't advocate for myself, no one will. I felt like crying during the appointment and left very angry and upset. I felt disrespected and defeated. I have my share of medical trauma from doctors acting this way, I was very disappointed she contributed to that. I gave her two stars b/c I do think she knows what she's doing, I just thinks she needs to be more sensitive with her patients who have depression and anxiety. Maybe she needs to read up on it more. It does not help someone who does not feel well physically to be made to feel even worse emotionally. Patents should not feel blamed, gaslighted, or invalidated. She should know that the physical and emotional go hand in hand. read more

I don't know what I would do without Sheila and Dr. Malik!! I've had a very rough few months and she is the best LLMD. She listens to exactly what is going on with me and gets everything prepared for me before I leave. If you have any billing, insurance or general questions, Sheila knows it all. She helped me get everything to my insurance co in a VERY timely manner and is always responding to messages as soon as I need them. Dr. Malik is also a wonderful advocate for your health and will help with any documentation needed for work. I couldn't imagine going through this Lyme treatment without them. read more

I was hesitant to leave this review, but felt compelled to because Dr Malik is the only physician who was able to successfully identify and treat the root cause of my chronic illness when so many other of my specialists were simply clueless. After a year of her personalized treatment, my health has been fully replenished, and I am so grateful to her and her amazing office staff, for sharing my healing journey to being well again. I have met many of her patients in passing and all of them rave about her practice. She has the unique compassion and determination to offer to help the most challenging patients, especially those that have illness-induced mental issues, when other physicians simply will not or can not. I also highly recommend PHW for those seeking a holistic alternative to traditional healthcare. read more

I saw Dr Malik at her previous practice last year and early this year. She diagnosed and treated my Lyme disease. My symptoms cleared up and haven't returned since ending the treatment in early March. I appreciated her thorough, balanced approach that is based on scientific evidence. I had a PC who insisted (incorrectly) that the Elisa test was 100% accurate and missed my diagnosis. So I greatly appreciate a doctor who keeps up with the most current scientific methods and treatments. She really knew what she was doing as I found her recommended treatment in a study documented on the ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ (public medical journals) website as being 98% effective (best found at that time) in vitro (without any immune system support). I truly believe I'm cured (since with her recommended supplements my immune system surely made up that other 2%) and have my life back thanks to dr. Malik! read more
