Dr. Malin is highly skilled, professional. and approachable. I don’t worry about a surgeon having bedside manners, but more so a skilled surgeon, which Dr. Malin exemplifies. His knowledge is unsurpassed and he delivers his opinion honestly. Thank you, Dr. Malin.

HUGE A. Walked in, didn't say hello or introduce himself. Barley made eye contact. Clicked through the computer/chart and ignored my questions until he was ready to answer. Had to drag any and all possible options for treatment out of him. Tells me one treatment option won't work, then tells me we can try it...Has zero manners, let alone beside manners.

He is just rude and I never had a doctor make me ask a million questions I was trying to diagnose myself he just stared at me and said I don't know what is wrong with you.. I want my co-pay back. This was not at all an examination,

He just starred at me when I asked a question. Extremely negative, arrogant and condescending. Gave me the creeps - couldn't believe the attitude. Ran out of there as fast as I could.

He is a kind, bright, talented orthopedic surgeon. I am a nurse, and would only choose Dr. Joel Malin. You won't regret it. Knee replacement is a big surgery. The rehab can be rough. You want to make sure you choose the right surgeon.

My miracle man. Help alleviate acute pain of my shoulder and chronic pain of my knee. Dr. Malin is professional and quite knowledgeable. Being able to have an appointment in the Stratford office was much more convenient than travelling to Fairfield. The office staff were pleasant and scheduled visit was on time - no waiting.

Beyond poor doctor. Fed me completely false information to seal the deal of surgery. Classic "fuckboy" mentality. Now im struggling with recovery and cant work - im a trainer and competitor. Regret having him do my kneescope. He took my life and livelyhood away from me!! Was much better off before surgery than i am now. Will never go back to him or anyone associated with the entire group!!!
