Louis B. Malinow, MD

Dr. Malinow is always patient and takes the time to answer all my questions. I never have to wait long to see him. And he follows up to make sure I'm okay.

I read recently that two characteristics need to be present in order for a patient to trust his/her doctor - competence and warmth. Dr. Malinow demonstrates these and other commendable qualities consistently. He is accessible, gives his undivided attention during office visits, is knowledgeable about current trends and treatment modalities in medicine and has an excellent bedside manner.

Dr. Lou Malinow is truly a great primary personal physician. He has advised me to a better lifestyle, taken an aggressive approach to treatments when needed. He evaluates my health in a total body and mind concept vs just treating symptoms. My annual health scores continue to improve with the goal being that I should be in the upper quality tier. He is accessible and quick to respond. He… See more

In a word, SECURE, explains how I feel about Lou. We moved to Frederick, MD which is about 45 minutes away in 2011 and my biggest fear was losing him as our internist/family physician.

Every time we go to the office whether it is for an actual appointment or requesting or questioning anything medically, it confirms our decision to stay… See more

I could continue to list so many more potentially critical issues Dr. Malinow has identified and managed including… See more

In April of 2013 I had a laminectomy of L3,4,&5 that involved fusing and instrumentation. The surgeon was recommended by Dr. Malinow and, as usual, his advice and recommendation was excellent.

My late husband and I first became patients of Dr. Malinow in 1999. He was there for my husband until his death and he is there for me now. I like the MDVIP experience because, all you have to do is call and they are right there for you.

I have heart disease as well as ALS history in my immediate family. In the past this cause me a great deal of health anxiety. Since following Dr. Malinow to MDVIP I feel much calmer and relaxed knowing that my trusted doctor is merely a phone call away.

Dr. Malinow is very kind and attentive. He is patient and listens to my needs. I don't have to wait long and I am never rushed.
