What is an Internist, and how are they different from a Family Physician?

Dr. Malik's practice emphasizes a personalized, evidence-based approach to preventive care, partnering with patients to minimize health risks and promote healthy aging.

I was told I have 'fatty liver disease.' What does that mean?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is when fat builds up in your liver, often linked to conditions like obesity and diabetes. Dr. Malik can help you understand lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and diet, to prevent further liver problems.

What vaccinations are important for older adults?

Staying up-to-date on vaccinations is a key strategy for preventing serious illnesses in older adults. High-dose flu shots, Shingrix for shingles, and pneumonia vaccines (like Prevnar 20 or Vaxneuvance and Pneumovax 23) are especially important for this group. These vaccines can significantly reduce the risk of complications from these infections.

We regularly review all of a patient's medications to identify and address potential drug interactions, eliminate unnecessary prescriptions, and ensure the most effective and straightforward treatment plan possible.

Do I need a cholesterol test, and what do the numbers mean?
