4 Patient Reviews for
Dr. Malas

"Dr. Malas explained everything thoroughly, included me in the decision making, and had a calming and reassuring manner. He presented the facts rationally, explaining how and why he came to the best plan for my needs and I felt completely confident that he would do the best job possible and I would have the best outcome possible and he had a confidence lacking arrogance.

He made no promises except that he would do his best and I was thrilled with the outcome of my surgery! I would recommend Dr. Malas without hesitation and if I were to ever need another heart surgery I would want him to be my surgeon again!"
