Excellent care and pain management. Could not get surgery for my issue for several months at CSOG as busy practice. So group referred me to Dr. Malinky for epidural injection at L3-L4 to provide temporary relief. Received immediate relief. Golf and yard work within a week - and I walk on golf course. 6 months later and no issues. I plan to get a FU injection when needed. read more

The office staff does not return calls. My experience started off great. Got my first shot worked fantastic. Second not so well, but 3rd and 4th were great as well. I did have difficulty getting calls returned. When I tried to set up 5th injection again no call back. I have left numerous messages and no call back. I have moved on and left negative review on BBB as well. Until they replace the office staff this business is on a downward trajectory. read more

Does not answer phone. Left 4 messages in last 3 months with only one return call saying they needed more information from referring MD. Nothing and no return call when inquiring. read more

I had an injection at L3,L4 for sciatica. This is my 2nd injection, first in Nov 2024. I am thrilled with the results!

Warning to Future Patients: I was a loyal patient of Dr. Malinky for about six years. In the beginning, he and his team were fantastic--caring, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, things changed over time. His bedside manner declined noticeably, and the office atmosphere became far less patient-focused. After a year away, after lumbar fusion,(during which I successfully weaned myself off all pain medication and was walking two miles a day), I returned due to new hip pain. Instead of compassion or proper evaluation, I was met by a new nurse practitioner who was rude and accusatory, grilling me about pain medication I hadn't even requested. She offered no real help and sent me away without answers. I later saw another pain management specialist who correctly diagnosed me with piriformis syndrome--one injection, and the pain was gone. I was always a compliant, responsible patient. My experience is a reminder: advocate for yourself and don't hesitate to seek a second opinion when your care stops feeling like care. read more

About 3 years ago, I was discharged from Interventional Pain Management by Dr Malinky for a medication mistake that he said I did. No one ever explained to me how the medication contract works. Now 3 years later, I try to come back as a new patient and they still will not take me back. I realize that I messed up on the medication rules and I am sorry for that. My insurance only covers a few pain management clinics so I am limited. I just wanted a 2nd chance and even 3 years later they said no. I am not happy about this. I have severe low back pain and it has been getting bad. All I am asking for is a 2nd chance. read more

Dr. Malinky is one of the best in the business. I definitely feel like he cares. I have had several injections in both my knees and my back with much success. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr Malinky verbally attacked me for not telling him I was in the ER for a possible drug overdose. I am in so much pain and I have told his PA, Hiedi of what is going on and my depression is out of control because of the pain. They don't want me to over dose I get that. He never asked me how I was or what went down at ER. I was in so much pain from botched knee and hip surgery's. I have complained about my problems for over 4 years with them. I was to see Hiedi his PA and his staff called and said Dr Malinky wanted to see me. I asked why, and a staff person told me he wanted to see me about my suicidal tendencies. Was I wrong!!! I didn't have a chance to defend myself. He stated many times how I embarrassed him and reuined his reputation. Not once did he ask how I was doing physically or mentally. I didn't have a chance when came into the room. For punishment, he came down on one of the dose of my pain medicine. Wants to see me in a month instead of two months. I was wondering why I had a urinalysis eveTy time I went in for appointments with Hiedi his PA. It worked, he scared me. But I didn't do this on purpose and I didn't feel he should have attached me for not calling his office to let everyone know I went to the emergency room. His PA never told him I was struggling with the pain. I will NEVER go alone again and will looked for another doctor. I ended up with him as my doctor because Dr William who had been my doctor moved to his practice and next thing we knew, he left. Dr. Malinky told me at this appointment that Dr. William retired. I knows this wasn't true because he went another practice according to the internet. If you have this guy as a pain mgmt doctor, make sure you tell him and not his PA if you are in ER so you don't get reprimanded. read more

The Staff at Dr. Christopher Malinky's is great. Interventional Pain Management takes care of all their patients with top notch care. We all thank you for your service. read more

Love this place, very nice staff & have always had good experience when i go get my lower back injections. The only thing that bugs me a little bit its their availability, sometimes i need to schedule 3 weeks out or longer but sometimes they do call & are able to take me in sooner. Very good place, i do recommend it. read more

I didn't have any issue, my primary doctor referred me and 1 week later I had my appointment. The doctor had my medical records and had already reviewed them so there wasn't a lot of question and answer. He had no issue giving me a prescription and set my follow up appointment 30 days out. Today is my second appointment, same great service as last visit read more

after calling over 43 "pain management" clinics I took a chance and went to Dr Malinky. The wait was an 1.3 hours so it wasn't punctual however I was very happy with the Dr and asst care. I was in a lot of pain and they prescribed the medication I needed with out trying to push procedural based or other non pain medication which had caused me problems in the past. I would highly recommend them. Im hoping my updates will be this positive ! read more

I have been impressed with the professionalism and efficiency of this office. Dr. Malinky listens, asks relevant questions and most importantly seems to trust my assessment of my body and what works and what doesn't work. I highly recommend this practice and staff. read more

Nurses very rude won't return phone calls. They say they are available for emergency but when you need something they will not help. I would differently go else where. Sorry. read more

I got a refferal from my PCM in January to see Pain Management. Come March, I called them about my refferal and to see if I could set up an appt. They said they never recieved my refferal, so I called Tricare to have it re-faxed to them. End of March, no response still, so I called back. They appoligized saying that they did recieve my refferal in January and also recieved the re-faxed refferal, so I was sent to new patient scheduler who informed me that Dr. Malinky would not take me as a patient because he felt he could not help me?? He hasn't ever seen me or gone over my records with me!! No explanation why he felt that way, the lady just said he handed the refferal back to her and pretty much said no! And no one ever called to inform me that, it took me calling now 3 times! My Dr. obviously sent me here for help because of two conditions that I have and need help with and now Im back to square one!! Thanks for nothing, I'll be sure to pass on my expieriance to Tricare as well as other people whom I meet that are in need of similar care!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY AT ALL!!!! read more

Went for 1 spinal injection and it went fine. I called for a second injection 5-6 months later and was told I had to have another consultation before the injection which I didn't understand but went along with. It wasn't until AFTER the consultation that they told me that they couldn't fit me in for OVER 1 MONTH for the injection! People call for Pain Mgt when they're in pain. To make them wait that long is cruel. The fact that Dr. Malinky is off Friday - Sunday only made it more frustrating. A few days before the injection I received a voicemail from the office 'insurance liaison' indicating that my insurance would not cover the sedation for the spinal injection. I called my insurance company and I was told that the sedation WAS covered by my plan. I called Malinky's office again and explained this to the insurance person. She told me that most companies quit covering the sedation as of the 1st of the year. I asked her to call my insurance company as they had just assured me that I was covered. - She REFUSED to call indicating that then she'd "have to call all of the insurance companies" (i.e. Do her job). I was in enough pain and had waited long enough that I had the injection without the sedation and then SWITCHED DOCTORS! read more

I have been to quite a few pain dr in my time. This place is the worst about getting back to you. The Dr did not even want to hear about my arm pain, I've had two neck surgeries. He wrote me an Rx for an MRI because they don't call for a pre oth they expect the hospital to do it. It's been 3 weeks of my insurance co calling them, 6 times, me calling them 4 times and I still don't have an apt for the MRI. They are a joke. I drove over 4 hours to see if he could help me, I chose him becasue they say they can do injections in the office. Well I had a Dr two hours from me that was great but it was costing me a lot of money. But after all this I am going back to the other dr and spending my hard earned money on a dr that cares because this place doesn't give a crap. Pretty sad that I'm willing to spend 1k on injections instead of 45 bucks. But when the Dr and his staff are uncaring I won't even give them a penny! And when I said I didn't want pills they looked at me like I had 5 heads. Not everyone with back and neck pain are pull poppers jackass. I wish I listened to the other reviews on this place. read more
