Dr Malaiya Has been an incredible doctor through my mother’s illness. She consistently showed compassion, professionalism and amazing bedside manner. In addition she took time to explain to both son and daughter the strategy, procedures and changing condition while attempting to diagnose what was finally a very rare condition. Dr Malaiya was critical to my mother’s improvement and I am confident in this statement because I (son of Angela) was bedside throughout the 3 months of hospital. Angela and family would like to personally thank Dr Malaiya for her support and care
