Dr. Michael A. Malandra, MD

Due to the nature of possible celiac diagnosis, our first visit to this practice was definitely disappointing. My daughter was very anxious about the appointment and the staff, including the receptionist, were not creating the right atmosphere and professionalism for a pediatric office. The receptionist didn't even look up at us when we were checking in, which was very rude. If you're going to work in a child-centered office, at least have the proper staff in place to help ease the anxiety and stress that going to a pediatric specialist creates. Dr malandra was the outlier here- he provided excellent care and spoke to my daughter in a way that relieved her fears.

We had a wonderful appointment. I have no complaints at all. The ladies at the reception desk were helpful and very nice. The doctor listened and took his time. He asked questions to make sure he got all the information he needed. He was clear about he thoughts on what was going on and made sure to include my son. My son even said he really like me the doctor and that the appointment was a happy one.

Dr Malandra was amazing, kind, knowledgeable, and with excellent toddler interaction skills. I was ready to give up and leave after some of the staff/office experiences before that because It seemed there was no way this would be beneficial. However I'm glad I did not and feel like my child's medical needs were definitely met and we made progress in what had been a difficult ongoing problem.

My child's care provider was amazing. Not only was he good with me as a parent he was so good with my daughter. It was our first time seeing him, so I was for sure my daughter wouldn't talk or even let him touch her. But she was so comfortable with him because how good he was with us. I have never had my daughter warm up so quickly to a doctor as she did with him that day. Just amazing!

Dr. Malandra has a natural ability and gift for building strong rapport with his patients. I really appreciate how he asks my child questions but also allows space for me as a parent to ask questions. We have seen three providers at Pediatric GI over that last 4 years and he is by far our most trusted provider.

Dr. Malandra is amazing! He is easy to talk to and explains things in a way that me and my daughter can understand. He was the only doctor in years of seeing various doctors and going through many tests that was able to diagnose and treat my daughters health struggles. We look forward to every visit with him.

We've seen dr Malandra since our son was just a newborn he is two now and he has been the best doctors I've seen with our sons condition. He is very thorough, and meets all your needs and concerns. We leave out of state and he'll be one of the few doctors we'll miss.

Dr. Malandra was great. He was patient and did not order any unnecessary tests. He was very good with a toddler who is usually very scared of Dr offices. Even though I am a nurse, he still explained everything in detail to ensure adequate understanding.

Dr.Malandra is one of the best. He's very down to earth and easy to discuss sometime embarrassing medical issues with. His team works extremely hard to make sure everything was taken care of for us during the visit as well as for my follow up questions.

Dr. Malandra is dedicated to providing the best care for his patients. Every time we have met with him or had to go through the nurse for assistance we have felt like our child is the most important patient at the time of service.
