Dr. Malik saved my son's life.
My boy got an ear infection, and a sore throat, and was being treated by his pediatrician.
One morning my son woke up crying, and his mom and I tended to him immediately.
Long story short the on-call pediatrician checked our boy and immediately instructed us to go immediately to the ER where Dr. Malik was waiting for him.
My son had an epiglottis infection which was so swollen it was cutting off his windpipe.
Dr. Malik stayed with my boy all morning into the evening and then got us a private nurse to stay with our son through the nite.
He had to be intubated, to breathe.
Dr. Malik thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
You were a great Dr. God bless you.

Dear Family of Dr. Malik, Please accept my sincerest sympathies on the passing of such a wonderful man. Dr. Malik helped me understand exactly what I had to do to resolve my throat issue - about 25 years ago. He understood that as a language teacher, speaking is very important. He was patient and kind. May he rest in peace.

Very sad to hear of this. Dr. Malik took care of me back in 1979 or 1980 when as a young kid I needed tubes in my ears and my adenoids removed. To this day, he was one of my favorite doctors. Best wishes and happy memories to his family.

Mike was a professional colleague, mentor and friend. Soft spoken, dignified, quick to smile - He was the consummate ENT surgeon, caring, always willing to help. He will be remember fondly by me and by all those that he touched.
