I had a previous doctor before I saw Dr Lou Malinow and when I went to see her she prescribed a med and I was getting sicker, fainting and and swelling up with fluid. I called and they said they couldn't see me. My daughter was working with Dr at that time and they got me in the office immediately. Make a long story short, I was hospitalized for 10 days. Dr Lou said my organs were… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Malinow
I have known Lou since he was very young. We moved into his neighborhood/same street way back in the 70’s. Then the Malinow’s moved out of the neighborhood and next thing I knew I became a patient along with my mother about 2002-first as my PCP and then my MDVIP. He was recommended by a medical technician as being a great diagnostician. He IS that and more! He is compassionate, caring,… See more
Lou Malinow is the best doctor I have ever dealt with. Not only is he my doctor but I consider him my friend. One quick story please.
I see Lou on a regular basis. At least 4 times a year. Lou knows my medical history better than anyone. When Lou saw my PSA numbers, he wanted further testing done even though the numbers were still quite low. However, the number did go up percentage… See more
Dr Malinow is a great doctor! He’s the best I’ve ever had. What makes him different than all the others is his attention to detail and his clear communication with patients. He is very thorough and gets to the bottom of every ailment never leaving a stone unturned. He pays attention to the whole body health and not just specific ailments when it comes to treatment. Additionally, he… See more
Because, Lou is a very caring Doc and person, very intelligent, very nice and been with him since he went into practice. One other important thing, he has patience with patients like me. He’s the best.
A while ago (pre-covid) i was on vacation in California with my wife and i had a cold and a bad cough. I called Dr Lou in the morning on the weekend and he texted back right away that the phone service is not so good at the beach where he was for the weekend so he contacted me from a different phone to get me a prescription. I had forgotten about the few hour time difference and apologized but… See more
My husband battled complication after complication such as diabetes, heart, kidney & eventually lung cancer. Dr. Lou referred him to wonderful specialists, as well as keeping up-to-date on his numerous medications. Dr. Lou also made sure to examine him after every discharge from the hospital. His sickness was so overwhelming. Without Dr. Lou, we wouldn’t have known… See more
I feel very, very blessed to have you as my doctor!
Dr. Malinow has treated me for almost 20 years. He continues to amaze me with his dedication to the practice of medicine. No matter the issue, Dr. Malinow researches and stays current with dietetic and other health issues that improve my health. His staff is equally dedicated to improving the process of getting medical treatment. While he switched to MDVIP, his openness and availability… See more
First of all congratulations to Dr Lou!! Well deserved. Almost 13 years ago I was exercising 6 days a week and in perfect shape. I was going to another doctor at the time and she prescribed medicine which didn't help so I called her office, but they wouldn't see me. I was getting sicker and sicker and my daughter was working for Dr Lou at this time and she got me in his office.… See more
Supplementing with fish oil is now linked with lowering your risk of cardiac death, according to a recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology. It’s only a moderate eight percent reduction, but I’ll take it.

Every so often I have a new patient and need to scour their medical record to prepare for their appointment. In all the years I’ve been practicing, I often notice that records are missing appropriate testing to assess risk of a heart attack. This also includes records from cardiology offices.… See more
