    PHW is an amazing clinic that sees many patients, like myself, with medically unexplained symptoms. I had seen specialist after specialist with no successful diagnosis or treatment until my partner recommended Dr. Malik. Long story short, Dr. Malik precisely diagnosed what was causing my weird symptoms and she successfully treated me with high quality supplements instead of pharmaceutical medications. Fast forward one year later, and I no longer have any of those medically unexplained symptoms that stumped other specialists. It was well worth flying all the way to DC to see Dr. Malik, who I highly recommend to anyone regardless of where they reside.

    PHW is a boutique Functional Medicine (FM) clinic that came highly recommended to me when I was seeking FM as an holistic alternative to conventional healthcare. I was also tired of the long waits to see my PCP and specialists, not to mention the rushed, impersonal visits, often with a physician assistant. I have now been a PHW patient for a few years and could not be happier. I especially like Dr Malik who is quite knowledgeable yet personable. Her expert root medicine treatment successfully reversed my unexplained chronic medical condition without any prescription drugs or procedures. I recently recommended her to my wife since other specialists could not figure out what was causing her illness. She is now feeling so much better after becoming a patient of Dr Malik. We now take advantage of the direct primary and specialty care services that are available at the new PHW Tysons clinic. Highly recommended DMV concierge health care clinic!

    I love the new Tysons clinic that is much easier to get to and also park than the previous McLean clinic. I have been a patient for over 5 years initially for specialty care, but now for mostly primary care and could not be happier. The concierge model works for me since I am not locked into the typical concierge patient membership plan with monthly/annual fees. I also enjoy the complimentary patient amenities on top of the exceptional care and patient experience provided at every visit. The clinic provides insurance friendly appointment documentation that I simply send to my health plan for reimbursements. Highly recommended!

    I will be leaving this practice much to my dismay, due to circumstances beyond my control Dr Malik is by far the best listener and has helped me through a difficult Lyme disease.
    10 out of 10 from me!!

    As my own personal health advocate, I am always seeking ways to ensure that I maintain my good health for the rest of my life. I discovered Dr Malik at Potomac Health & Wellness a while back, and she has been integral with helping me to optimize my diet (nutrition) and lifestyle (stress management, sleep and exercise optimization). Initially, she discovered that my poor gut health may be contributing to my random episodes of brain fog and insomnia. I also tested positive for Lyme disease, that I had no idea I had (no symptoms or bulls eye rash), until Dr Malik had me tested by her specialty lab - since I initially tested negative (false negative) by a big box lab that is in my health plan network. Since then, thanks all to Dr. Malik, my Lyme disease is now in remission and my gut health has vastly improved. I no longer experience random brain fog or insomnia, and I now feel even better than I ever have before. Although, Potomac Health & Wellness does not participate with my health plan, their patient self-pay fees are reasonable for such high quality of health care that they provide. Highly recommended.

    I accidentally stumbled upon PHW when seeking a reputable holistic healthcare alternative to traditional healthcare because I was tired of seeing traditional generalists and specialists who could not figure out why I was still not feeling well despite all my "normal" lab tests. PHW"s exceptional Internist, who is super knowledgeable and down to earth, was able to precisely diagnose the underlying, stealthy root cause of my illness. After a few months of using her prescribed medical supplements, and modifying my diet, I am no longer on toxic prescription drugs and I feel so much better now that I have in a long time. I also appreciate PHW's terrific staff who are super patient-friendly. PHW unexpectedly exceeded my expectations, and being one very selective patient, I highly recommend this boutique healthcare practice despite not being from the DMV area.

    I've been with doctor Malik since 2013. I was fortunate to have found her after seeing 13 doctors and none could figure out what was wrong with me. Granted, most were listed as best dotors in the area according to several publications.
    First visit with her, she was able to order the right test and figure out what was going on with me and get me healthy again. It's been a long road, but she's very knowledgeable, patience, and kind. She'll spend lots of time with you in each appointment. There's no 15-minute appointment rushing type with her. She'll help you get well again. If something she's unsure of, she'll either do research and get back to you (and she always does!!) or she'll suggest an expert who'll know better than her. There's no ego here. It's all about getting you well and healthy again.

    After looking far and wide for a more personal healthcare experience, my neighbor referred me to Dr Malik at Potomac Health & Wellness, who had successfully treated his wife for CFS. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, I made an office appointment that was easy and fast to schedule. Unlike most medical practices they are very good about responding in a timely manner. There was no wait time to see Dr Malik and I certainly appreciate the fact that they have taken additional office safeguards to minimize any risk of coronavirus exposure, so I felt very safe during my entire office visit. She and her staff are professional, courteous, and personable. I did not expect Dr Malik to be so generous with her time with me and I knew then and there that she was very smart and knowledgable. Best of all, I was prescribed high quality supplements that have now replaced all of my toxic pharmaceutical medications. One month after my initial appointment, I feel so much better then I did seeing all the different specialists before her, who were all clueless to what was wrong with me. I am finally getting my quality of life back, all thanks to Dr Malik. Although, she does not participate with my health plan, my self pay fee for my office visit was fair, especially considering I don’t have to pay them any recurring practices membership fees, as many concierge medicine practices do. If you truly value your health and well-being, as well as exceptional holistic healthcare, then take my neighbor’s advice and go see Dr Malik.

    Dr. Malik saved my life! She was recommended to me by a friend's friend. I was just diagnosed with Lyme and it was in full force and she has helped me so very much! Still lingering symptoms and she treats those in many ways. She is knowledgeable and helpful and her staff is amazing!

    I stumbled upon this exceptional boutique medical practice and have never looked back. After seeing many specialists and still not getting better, I came across Dr M only after overhearing a couple of patients raving about her in the elevator. After finally meeting her, getting diagnosed, and following our personalized treatment plan, I have never felt better. She really knows her stuff and the friendly office staff is very helpful. Highly recommended.
