We are truly grateful to Dr. Malafa for my mom’s wrist surgery. He was extremely caring and professional throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, he made us feel confident and reassured. The surgery went great, and her recovery has been amazing. My mom feels as if she never broke her wrist.

My son fractured his wrist and needed surgery. All things considered, this was probably the best experience we could’ve asked for. The nurses were always nice and helpful and Dr. Malafa was great throughout the whole process. I’d highly recommend.

Dr. Malafa and his team were extremely nice, attentive & welcoming. Loved how well Dr. Malafa explained my son’s injury to both my son and I! Looking forward to our follow-up visit in a couple weeks!

After 6+ weeks of a very painful tendinitis in my wrist, I went to see Dr Malafa after getting a referral from a friend. I was so nervous, as I'm usually a "ignore the pain until it goes away" type of person lol, but as soon as I got into the office, I knew I made a good choice. The woman at the front desk was so helpful and thorough - my insurance app wasn't working so she helped me get my info another way, and even printed a copy of my insurance card for me. I got right in, and the nurses were kind and efficient. Dr. Malafa came in and quickly diagnosed my wrist, knowing exactly what symptoms and pain I was experiencing before I could even tell him! He's just one of those doctors who you know has seen it and treated it all. He made me feel so comfortable, and luckily my treatment could be done in one session, as it was a more mild wrist injury due to having a new baby. I walked out of there feeling like a new person, and I'm so happy I found them. Had to write a review!
