Here's What Our Patients Say About Dr. Malhotra
Excellent experience from all the awesome people at South Riding who helped me with my Achilles rupture. I had open surgery done (Dr. Malhotra) and so far so good (only one week since surgery). I trust her judgement and treatment guidance. The ladies who helped me with everything have been so wonderful and are making my life as easy as possible. They do all the little things right, and I don’t have to stress about it. I have a long road to recovery, and I am lucky I chose this place to help me through this.

Dr. Malhotra was wonderful and patient. I had seen another doctor for a tennis injury, and wanted a second opinion. Dr. Malhotra spent time explaining my diagnosis, and even reviewed her injury prevention protocol for future reference. She has a sports background herself, so had great empathy for my situation. Very highly recommended.

Dr. Malhotra has an excellent bedside manner. She is very patient and thoroughly explains conditions and treatment options. I was grateful that she started with conservative treatments for my broken toe and neuroma before suggesting a steroid shot. When I did need the shot, she once again, took the time to explain every step and prepare me for what I would experience. I highly recommend her.
