Here's What Our Patients Say About Dr. Malhotra
I have had bilateral knee replacement and care for a fractured toe. This is the nicest and best run office I've been to in a long time. Staff is always pleasant and the Doctors take time to explain things to you. I give them a 10.

Dr. Malhotra is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and effective. I've had many mediocre experiences with doctors, and Dr. Malhotra single-handedly gives me faith that good ones exist.

Very friendly, informative and explained everything very well and simply. I liked the explanation she gave me about the status of my foot and the progression I have been experiencing when wearing my custom orthotics. It has made a major difference with the structure of my arch. I would highly recommend Dr. Malhotra to my family and friends.
