When something needed to be done about my rising LDL cholesterol level, Dr. Maleh discussed my taking medication. When I asked if I could first try changing my diet and exercise routine instead, he was cautious yet supportive. Thirteen years later, I am still able to manage it without drugs. I’m grateful there are wonderful medications available if and when I need them. I am even more grateful… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Maleh
Two years ago I had a serious heart condition as well as a stroke. On both occasions Dr. Maleh intervened on my behalf that my wife and I credit his intervention with being a life a saving situation. Dr. Maleh has a unique combination of great skills, a thoughtful approach, and a thoughtful and caring interaction with his patients. I am very thankful for his high level care and a great way of… See more
Dr. Maleh provides the most important part a physician can offer patients. He asks questions and Listens to the answers. He is very
Compassionate in his communication
and desires to find solutions for patient concerns.
Nine years ago (before any of us were involved with MDVIP) my husband and I lost our older son, age 41, to cancer. During our son's illness, Dave Maleh could not have been more caring and compassionate, willing to spend whatever time we needed during this very difficult time. Following our son's death, we received a card signed by the entire office staff. In addition, Dave sent a… See more
A few weeks ago, I had chills Friday afternoon and I woke up on a Saturday morning with flu like symptoms and a fever. I called Dr. Maleh's After Hours Emergency Cell number and Dr. Maleh answered on the second ring. He called in a prescription for Tamiflu. I took the prescribed medicine and was fine by Tuesday. This is a well appreciated MDVIP benefit.
My husband and I find Dr. Maleh so well prepared and confident. He doesn't practice defensive medicine, over- prescribe or over-react.
He's an excellent listener and I have been happy to recommend him to friends who are equally satisfied.
Many thanks, Dr Maleh, for your reassurance!
After a stress and several other tests @ the hospital I was cleared to go back to normal daily activities. The following day I saw Dr. Maleh and he recommended a coronary artery scan just to be on the safe side. Heart Disease runs in my family on my fathers side. After the scan it showed I had a large buildup of plaque in my LAD (Widow Maker Artery). Dr. Maleh immediately scheduled an… See more
During a recent string of unexpected medical mishaps, Dr. Maleh was there to provide guidance, calm advice, and was extremely supportive of me through a very difficult few months. I felt well cared for, my questions were answered within minutes, and the after care was the same way. I am so glad I am part of MDVIP.
Back in 2010, I was looking for a young doctor with a good background. I found Doctor Dave and I'm glad I did. In 2012, after a long time, my PSA score moved from 3.9 to 4.6. In itself, not a great percentage, but Dr. Dave said to my dismay that I should see a urologist. Some other doctors might have said the same thing but others maybe not. Maybe another would have said we should… See more
Thank you Doc Maleh for helping me face my new life after losing my loving husband Paul. You were able to help me move forward.
