Bambini Pediatrics Patient Review

"Never see a doctor. Tired of being constantly charged with various $25 fees for EVERYTHING. Forms fees, email fees, you name it. My approximate wait time was between 45 minutes and 1.5 hr every time."

Dr. Joseph Malak Patient Review

"She is the worst, most unprofessional, and unpleasant doctor I have ever encountered. My child has been a patient for almost 8 years and she still doesn't know our names and needs a recap of the most basic information."
