Well run business. Easy to deal with and staff is attentive. Plenty of hours available to book.

My first experience with Dr. Malek was good. He was amazing--almost over the top--but I was relieved to get a pain management doctor. Over time, I have had two shots from him, and they did help me. However, every appointment I made had to be rescheduled, sometimes several weeks later. I had a follow-up appointment after my last shot, which was supposed to be two weeks after, but was scheduled four weeks after. A day before, I was called and informed that he had to cancel my appointment and couldn't see me for another month. Well, my friends, I complained. I didn't go nuclear; simply told them I was concerned about all the cancellations. The office called me back and gave me an appointment immediately. When I arrived, he called the office staff into the room, rambled on about how great he is, and then informed me that he would no longer treat me. He said it was because I had restless legs syndrome, and that "I would fall off, break my hip, and he would have to go to jail." At that point, I was stunned by his behavior. Later, I realized he displayed narcissistic behaviors--love bombing in the first appointment, unable to tolerate any criticism, and blaming me. Not saying he is a narcissist--I can't make that diagnosis, but he is not right. I'm sad that it turned out that way. read more

DO NOT even enter here!!! These people care nothing for their patients. they are nothing but money hungry, they see patients as dollar signs and nothing more. They lack empathy, knowing these patients are suffering. My grandmother attended recently by default of insurance, and i must let it be known this terrible person of a doctor made her CRY. This man is not doctor material. Straight EVIL. He tried pushing his hospice care onto my grand mother without even considering other options, and not to mention after she denied multiple tries, be treated her horribly. Not to mention, he made an medical assistant push drugs through an IV . This man does not deserve his license!!! He does NOT care the well/ mental being of these patients. Not to mention leaving the office, i witnessed his wife screaming at a patient over the phone, talking VERY unprofessional. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN NOW!!! read more

Dr. Malek posts in his website that he accepts Medicare and Blue Shield PPO. I was told today that he no longer accepts Blue Shield PPO because they weren't paying. That is so far from the truth. I can see any doctor I want and all is paid. This is about greed plain and simple. I wouldn't waste my time seeing a doctor who's primary concern is about how much money they can squeeze out of you. I will return to Cedars-Sinai where my insurance is gladly accepted and they have much more professional doctors and staff. Don't waste your time here. read more

Dr Sabri Malek is the most caring and knowledgeable physician who spends time with the patient and takes time to explain all procedure details.

If you are in pain or depression that cripples your life this is the physician who will take care of you!! Staff is so professional, accommodating and helpful.... The culture of the office is patient centered! If I could give 10 out of 10 I would! read more

I am very upset at this doctor, his staff is great , but unfortunately, I got a staph & Mursa infection from his clinic, I'm suing him for negligence, and that's his fault, he refused to help me & refused to make it right, he told me after he made the mistake to go somewhere else, to find a different doctor cause he messed up read more

Always so professional and caring. The best doctor in Pasadena and Los Angeles county. The clinic is always clean and neat and offers plenty of free parking. Bilingual staff (Spanish) Dr. Malek's and the entire staff always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. read more

Doctor Malek's team is the best. The doctor helped with my pain especially going up the stairs. Also without the use of narcotics. I recommend Dr Malek to family n friends I am completely satisfied read more

It was about a year ago since I started suffering through a terrible case of sciatica. My visits to Dr. Malek have been the best and biggest part of my road to recovery. Procedures were administered only when they were needed and Dr. Malek's team has been great with following up. read more

I feel so fortunate to have found this doctor! Dr Malek is at the forefront of this wonderful emerging treatment called Ketamine Infusion Therapy, so for treating my depression, anxiety, and cognitive issues I cannot recommend him more highly. I've tried nearly every antidepressant over a 20 year period, I was taking enormous as mounts of pain medication, and it still wasn't enough. After a few months of Ketamine Infusions, I was able to quit three psych meds and pain meds too. Dr Malek helped better then other doctors. My complex case wasnt bring fully helped by more common treatments. I trust him 100%. Neurosynaptogenesis is really happening for me. I have had zero drawbacks and no regrets from trying this and sticking with this doctor. The office and staff are top notch, covid safe. read more

I would advise that you heed this warning about this office. What I experienced, no one should be treated in this manner and the physician claims to care about his patient's. So, I was referred to this physician by my attorney and when I first spoke with the physician his main focus was to perform a procedure without an MRI etc... and once I expressed my concerns, it came down to "you don't trust me.." I respect the medical professionals and what they do for the community, but it is critical to see what is going on inside first before injecting a patient because "you've seen this many times." I am an individual, period. 2nd issue... the physician's staff in the office is very unprofessional. I maintained my respect when they lost it. I wasn't going to scream over the phone like his wife did and be disrespectful to his receptionist as she was to me. This doctor's office charges approximately $40 to complete the disability forms by the way....and I was initially told that there wasn't a cost and once I inquired about that the wife of the physician screamed soooo loud in my ear...I just couldn't believe it. 3rd issue...the physician decided on the day that my work status note expired that he was no longer going to treat patients with denied work comp cases. I was at a dead end because I am still very much in pain and needed to provide an updated work status note to my management team and he refused to keep the appointment. I then offered to pay out of pocket for the visit because again, I am still in pain and unable to work. His office agreed and quoted a price of $200 for the visit, but never called me....I had my son drive me to the hospital and I cried the entire time because the pain was soooo bad....but I had to save my job and again my pain level is still at a level 10. I was told that he treated denied work comp claims when I had my first appointment, but he left me in the cold when his chips started falling. I'll never forget how the nurses at the hospital rushed me back and tried to give me pain medication, but it just didn't work...they cared more than he did. I know a lot of people are pretending to be hurt and work comp is a sticky situation because I used to handle work comp claims, but some of us are really in pain and shouldn't be subjected to this..it was unreal. So, inclusion if you are interested in receiving great care and being treated with respect...pass this office up. If you are suffering from pain don't add anymore by dealing with irrational people that are very mean spirited...you are already in enough pain..don't add to it. Be well. read more

Dr . Malek is very precise about his help with your pains . Most Dr.'s just want to slam a needle in you, but Dr. Malek actually gave instructions on how I can help myself by his instructional advice. I listened and helped make my shot after 6 weeks of therapy more effective. But all in all he is great Dr. and his staff is great, very Covid safe .,, I highly recommend him and his staff for your aches and pains !!! read more

I relocated back to California from Arizona and while there I had encountered some medical issues along with my already standing chronic pain as a result of 3 back surgeries. My general doctor in Arizona put me on a series of narcotics which I have and have been on for the past 3 years. As all of pain sufferers know taking opioids for years is not something you can stop doing overnight. I have significantly come down with my pain medication because 1 of all the laws in place now and 2 have always had the plan to get off them completely. I have researched having the pain pump implanted and really wanted to get into the trial to see if it is the right Avenue for me. Dr. Malek sat and listened to my story and studied my latest MRI. I have stenosis in my back which I've been told, actually yesterday by a spine doctor, that I'm possibly facing another back surgery. That scares the hell out of me because my first experience was a negative one. My first appointment I thought went ok after a series of shots and injections. I went to a second appointment and again another set of injections and prescriptions for different medications. After that appointment out of the blue I receive a phone call from the office that I'm being "discharged" with no explanation. I'm very upset because I was seeing another pain management doctor, prior to Dr. Malek, whom I felt wasn't giving me the personal attention that I felt I deserved but just kept writing me scripts for my pain medication. Now I'm stuck with no pain management doctor, because I can't go back to the one I was seeing, and medication(gabapentin and such) that I couldn't get refills on down the road. Dr. Malek did write my pain medicine prescription for me but after I get them filled I don't have another doctor to either continue weening me off or go another direction. I'm very upset and frankly pissed off that Dr. Malek couldn't discuss this with me personally and basically gave up on me. I'm frustrated that doctors just give up on patients without giving them a chance and don't care enough to invest the time into helping people who really need an answer to chronic pain. read more

Dr. Malek is the type of doctor that genuinely cares about his patients. My mom is an elderly women who suffers from degenerative arthritis. She is in constant pain. Dr. Malek does his best to try many different types of therapy to help control her pain. Other doctors that we have been to only prescribed drugs for her and didn't take the time to get to the root of her pain. Dr. Malek tries alternative things so that she doesn't depend on those drugs. He also takes the time to sit and get to know his patients. He lets my mom tell her stories and never cuts her off or acts annoyed. He always has a smile on his face and gets my mom smiling and laughing every time. I highly recommend him!! read more

Dr Malek has changed my life. My pain mad me a recluse because I didn't have the energy or desire to socialize let alone leave my house. I have been back to Dr Malek 3 times and I can happily say that his treatments have allowed me to take my life back. Before coming here for treatment, I had been on norco for 8 months but since my first treatment, I haven't needed painkillers to function since I began tenement. read more

Place has done amazing thing for my wife amazing dr malek really cares for my wife ketmain infusions best for my wife

My wife had been struggling with lower back pain on and off for five years after a running injury. She tried a chiropractor, physical therapy, acupuncture, exercise and was finally referred by her doctor to Dr. Malek for pain management. Dr.Malek took the time for a thorough evaluation and made a plan for treatment. He and his office immediately recommended a high grade back brace which they secured for her through our insurance. He recommended she use as often as possible and it has given her so much relief. Not only that , but the series of spinal injections on her right side have left it virtually pain free and she cannot wait to treat her left side. She recommends Dr.Malek to anyone looking to find a pain treatment solution. He has restored our hope to finally live without chronic pain when she felt hopeless. Thank you Dr. Malek! read more

This is my follow up with Dr Malek. I came here last week and had a procedure done that did wonders for me!! For the last 10 years I have been fighting with my intestinal issues both the emotional and physical issues which go along with being sick. The procedure is done and wow!! I felt good!! By the next morning I felt incredible. I felt hopeful, human for the first time in a long time I had HOPE!! Things weren't perfect but I would say I felt about 150% better!! I can't say how truly grateful I am. Thank you Dr Malek for being a wonderful doctor with an incredible staff!! read more

Interventional Anesthesia & Pain Management Clinic - Pain Management Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was very clear that I needed tio get a MRI when I scheduled the appointment. Nevertheless when I arrived, I was given about 20 minutes of paperwork and left in a room for 40 minutes only to be told by the doctor he wasn't going to schedule me for an MRI. This doctor wasted my time to make a buck. read more

I have long term chronic pain that started over 10 years ago. I have been turfed from doctor to doctor after going through a series of tests for each. After experiencing more pain than less following a spinal disk replacement surgery, I turned to Dr. Malek and his amazing staff. He diagnosed me with CRPS and we have been working together to find the best solution for my non-diabetic peripheral nerve pain. He has really been a life saver with the Sympathetic and nerve root blockers via injections. I could not function with the lack of sleep due to nerve pain and now I am getting close to 8 hours/night. Thank you Dr. Malek and his empathetic medical team! read more

I have been limping and enduring back and leg pain since November last year. I have tried anti inflammatory medication, nerve pain medications and steroids. Nothing has worked for me. I have been to see Dr. Malik for two injections and they have decreased my pain and helped me walk immensely. The office staff are professional and courteous. I recommend anyone that is having back or neck pain to see Dr. Malik for results that work. read more

I have been in pain, emotionally and physically for most of my life. Before making a desperate decision to undergo ECT, my therapist mentioned hearing something about ketamine therapy. I researched it and made an appt with Dr Malek. His staff is top notch but more importantly after only 6 infusions, I feel better than I have in such a long time.I'm not sure I can express my gratitude sufficiently enough... read more

Dr. Malek is a wonderful doctor. He very personable and never rushes through visits. He listens well and explains things in detail. Both he and his staff have gone above and beyond to make me comfortable during treatments. I would recommend these treatments and Dr. Malek to anyone. read more

When in pain : Dr Malek is the answer. Both my husband and myself suffer from chronic pain . Doctor Malek gentle hand are a miracle.

I am very impressed by Dr Malek! He spent quite a bit of time with me and answered all of my questions. He also thoroughly explained his plan for me. With my first visit, my pain decreased about 50%, something no other doctor was able to do. Everyone in the office was very accommodating and made me feel very comfortable. I am excited to see what will happen with future visits! read more

Dr. Malek was very rude to me after I told him the cortisone shot he gave me caused a white spot and more pain he rudely discharged me and that was best due to he never said that would be a side effect at anytime not to mention I begged him not to give it to me in the first place but I took his advice as a doctor and that's what sucks. read more

I will write this for only one reason. To maybe help even one poor soul who is desperate to find a treatment for chronic pain that has become unbearable to live with. I searched far and wide for that special ETHICAL physician who can help improve my quality of life after surgeries, numerous spinal injections, hospitalizations, oriental medicine, etc didn't help over decades of me trying to find relief, not a cure, just some relief. You won't find it there. It is all about money and you wouldn't believe it if judging by your first visit. The Dr deserves an academy award! Don't fall for it! If you are a cash patient, you can find a much nicer, classier facility with Doctors whose resumes far supersede this persons credentials and experience! read more

Dr. Malek is a great doctor. I had very serious pain and after going to his office, the pain went away. He really helped me treat my pain and was a really patient and good doctor. He was willing to sit down with me and answer all my questions/concerns. I would recommend anyone to come here if they have serious pain. The staff was really professional, really helpful, and friendly. Thank you doctor and your staff for helping me. You guys are the best! read more

Those people are awesome from Dr. Malek to the rest. My mom has a serious pain and mobility issue with her hip. Apparently there was a lot of bad fluid build up that no orthopedic doctor brought to our attention even after taking several x-rays at different points in time. Dr. Malek extracted a lot of fluid from there and gave her a few shots. She still has a long way to go and will probably need another hip replacement but his procedure made a notable improvement in her stride and pain. Apparently we'll have to repeat this every once in a while. Dr. Malek is also a very decent and encouraging professional and easy to communicate with for my mom since they both speak Arabic. read more

After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in April of 2017, I was in excruciating pain every day. I could no longer do the things I enjoyed, not to mention basic life tasks. In addition to debilitated physical pain, I was experiencing the emotional grief of being robbed of my former life. I went to several top specialists at hospitals with (supposedly) the best reputations seeking help, only to be treated poorly, further dampening my morale and hope for recovery. My mother happened to find Dr. Malek's website one day and we called and made an appointment. Little did I know at the time, meeting this doctor would save me. To be completely transparent, I was in such despair over my bleak health situation and the way I was treated by the medical community that I considered taking my own life on more than one occasion. Dr. Malek restored my faith in medical compassion and gave me renewed hope. I am emotional as I write this because I am so grateful to everything he and his office staff have done for me. From the beginning I was determined to seek treatment without opiates and Dr. Malek did and continues to offer alternative treatments for my pain that WORK. So many other doctors would not even consider such procedures, and this will always baffle me. He truly saved my health and my life and every time I see him I am filled with gratitude and overwhelmed by his compassion. Because of the options he has given me I no longer see my battle as losing one. In addition to pain relief through various procedures, I have experienced great relief as a result of Ketamine Infusion Therapy. I encourage anyone struggling with chronic pain or depression to consider Ketamine. Dr. Malek is by far the best doctor I have ever encountered and I will continue to go to him to manage my pain. Thank you so very much for everything that you do! read more

Dr Malek has been a God send and given my daughter her life back. My daughter and I searched many months for a medical facility to help manage her chronic pain without opioids and we came up against many dead ends, including more than one top hospital.
