    I have full trust in Dr Malkina, having explained my lab results, explained next steps to take, and explained what additional medication is supposed to achieve. Results in 2 weeks will dictate if we are on the right track or explore new options.

    I appreciate Dr Malkina's thoroughness. She never appears to be in a hurry even though I know she has more than a full patient load. Appreciate her explaining lab results as well as reviewing my overall kidney function status. She instills trust and confidence. She's also my husband's nephrologist. We feel fortunate to have her as our family doctor.

    Dr Ana Malinka is great! She is a wonderful listener, thinks outside the box and is able to synthesize complex medical concepts easily. I brought a significant amount of anxiety to this clinic visit because prior to my clinic visit it appeared that my kidneys might be failing. Although she wants to do more testing before finalizing my diagnosis, I am no longer anxious and expecting the worst possible outcome. She has shared with me several conditions that I have which could have resulted in the abnormal labs which make it appear that I am spilling large amounts of proteins in my urine. I also got the sensation that Dr Malinka will stick with my case / me , using both her caring Doctor coat and her deep curiosity to lead me to a diagnosis.
