Herbert Malinoff's Online Review Report Card

Honestly one of the rudest and most arrogant doctors I have ever met. And I met a lot of doctors when I went through four years of stage 4 cancer, and now three years of various other doctors as I recover. Also, he needs to be reeducated or otherwise figure out how to stay on top of changes in the field of pain management because his attitude and much of his beliefs are outdated. I tried to communicate with him peacefully, but with this man that is just about impossible. The only note he wrote on my chart after the visit was "pain related to extreme psychosocial dysfunction." I'm a former cancer patient, I went through chemo for four years and am still recovering, that is the source of my pain. I've never had any other doctor say anything even close to that diagnosis. And look at these other reviews. Many of the same complaints are being made by other patients. The attitude he had with me when I tried to bring these things up to his face was definitely not one of a man who thinks these bad reviews have any merit to them. Avoid at all costs.

This man told me I was a drug addict because Im a former smoker and nicotine is a drug. He did not treat my pain. He had zero compassion. Would not recommend if you are looking for any type of pain control.

Dr. Malinoff helped me get my life back after multiple surgeries and got me off many different prescriptions for Norco and Tramadol. On my first visit he spent over 45 minutes talking with me and my wife about how he could help me get back to a somewhat normal life. Because of what Dr. Malinoff has done to help me, I have been able to enjoy my life and some of my hobbies again. Long term use of pain meds leads to a lot of anger and depression. I was there and he brought me back from hating my life. Thank you Dr. Malinoff and all your staff.

The staff are horrible. But nothing beats the doctor. Wow. Hes rude and self sbsorbed. His bedside manner is terrible. He has zero concern for patients. And he makes everything all about himself.

Doesn't understand or really get it. Upsetting and disappointing experience.

I find it sad, yet unsurprising, to see so many negative reviews of Dr. Malinoff. I was Dr. Malinoff’s patient for a few months, about a decade ago. An opiate addict new to treatment, I was eager to get healthy, and followed his directives to the letter - going to AA, never missing an appointment, and being scrupulously honest with his staff. After several appointments with his PA, the doctor saw fit to cut me off cold-turkey from Suboxone, because I was still drinking alcohol. I was floored, as I had not been told that his prescribing Suboxone was contingent upon my not drinking. I drank socially once or twice a week, and would have stopped immediately if I knew this was the case. I had been meticulously reporting every drink to his PA for weeks, after which I would be encouraged to work on not drinking, then given my Suboxone prescription. In order to even discuss going back on Suboxone, I had to make an appointment with Dr. Malinoff during weekday work hours, which I could not manage for at least a week, due to my job. For those of you who have never experienced withdrawal, a week may not seem like a long time; for those of us who have experienced withdrawal, you know it would have been excruciating. Luckily, I found a wonderful addiction specialist whom I have been working with since then. Dr. Eric Coffman is clear about his requirements and consistent in his excellent methods. I have been happily free of opiates for over 8 years, and am grateful for Dr. Coffman’s compassionate and effective care

Simply put, the worst “medical” facility I have ever dealt with. Rude, condescending, and zero concern for their patients. The only person with a worse attitude than the Office manager is the “doctor” himself. Beware.

An expert who sometimes works with upset people who are addicted and in denial. He helped me through all of that to a very successful. Sometimes he's a bit flippant, which I think he does in order to through comic relief into difficult situations. He has learned from his own past and has shared that with me and, I know, many others.

Not gonna trust a nurse to tell well the doctor uses tihs medication not happy waiting in room a as long as i did
