Dr Malik and his associate helped me understand where my pain was emanating from and the process that it will take to get me pain-free again. I was satisfied with the course of action planned and he is working with my physical therapist in order that she might understand what needs to be done when I'm seen by PT. What blew me away was a note from Dr Malik in my portal later that evening, going over the results of x-rays that he had ordered. As far as I'm concerned, this guy is a rockstar. I feel fortunate that I'm working with Dr Malik.

Hi provider was fine despite having to do a virtual visit. I would not recommend Newton, Wellesley Spine Center. I'm very disappointed. I was seen there in January 2022 but because the practitioners that I saw left, they could not see me and treated me like a new patient so my first appointment was eight weeks. So I spent eight weeks with sciatica that's how I spent the summer of 25 got my first scan today so I have no idea what's going on. I think it's deplorable because the providers that I saw left that I got treated like a new patient absolutely deplorable. There should be three less new patient current patient and a past patient past patient shouldn't be treated as new patient. You know they have a medical problem and you should address it not 78 weeks later
