Dr. Sherif Malek - A Return to the Family Doctor
|
If you have been searching for a family doctor who remembers the meaning of a “family doctor,” your search may just be over.
Dr. Sherif Malek “loves helping people.” He has wonderful
memories of how his own family doctor cared for him and would go out of
his way to help his patients.
Dr. Malek says that the
doctor-patient relationship of years gone by has always “fascinated”
him. “You were able to feel comfortable with your family physician,” he
quotes, “I want to make my patients feel comfortable and understand
that I really care about them. I want them to consider me part of their
extended family.”
Malek Medical Center offers continuing care
for the patients, which includes wellness checks, treatment of acute
and chronic medical conditions, and vaccinations.
Doctor Malek
is board certified and re-certified by the American Board of Internal
Medicine with added qualifications in geriatric medicine. He is also
Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support certified, and is a member
of the American College of Physicians and the Geriatric Society.
He
is also affiliated with Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch and is
the medical director of “Holmdel Care One” nursing home. The doctor is
also a diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Dr.
Malek earned his medical degree from Ain Shams University Faculty of
Medicine in Cairo, Egypt, and had a rotating internship in Cairo, as
well. He then entered the residency program at Staten Island University
Hospital in Staten Island, N.Y. where he also did his Fellowship in
1997.
Dr. Malek sees patients from age 13 to adulthood. He
is very proud of his office in West Long Branch, where “Everything is
up to date.” The modern high-tech medical center features electronic
“paperless” medical records- something Dr. Malek is very happy about.
“Keeping
records electronically allows the doctor to have all of this patient’s
vital information right at his fingertips without having to shuffle
papers around. Paper charts get crumpled up, torn, and misplaced,” he
says. “That cannot happen with this system. In addition, the system
allows for complete privacy and keeps all medical records secure by
performing daily backups.”
Dr. Malek’s Medical Center also
contains state-of-the-art medical equipment for cardiac and pulmonary
testing. He has even included special examining tables specifically
designed for handicapped patients, who may not easily be able to get
onto a regular examining table.
Malek Medical Center is housed
in a Florida-type, one-floor office complex, with various other medical
facilities such as physical therapy office. Ultrasound testing and
echocardiograms are also available for Dr. Malek’s patients, right in
the medical center. Dr Malek wants to attend to all of his patients’
needs, including those for various types of testing; he likes to think
of his office as “one-stop shopping.”
Dr. Malek will also suture
lacerations, provide wound care, remove skin lesions and certain
growths, and perform biopsies in the office as well.
The
doctor also assures that his office staff, headed up by his wife Eva,
welcomes patients in a pleasant, professional, and friendly manner.
“The patient always comes first,” Dr. Malek said.
