She takes the time to listen to your health issues, spends time to think through how to best address the issues, takes your feedback seriously, and also has an extensive knowledge-set that surpasses all of my previous PCPs.

Dr. Malewicz is friendly and remembers likes/dislikes I've mentioned in the past ie that I prefer not to take meds if there is a more organic option such as exercise, vitamins, or diet that I can adjust rather than taking pills. I never feel rushed and she patiently goes thru my list of questions/concerns with me. I trust she is giving me the best advice and care.
