How likely are you to recommend Dr. Malhotra?
Please do not see Dr. Malhotra if you have any kind of diabetic wound or ulcer on your foot. I was 26 years old with diabetes, when I developed a water blister on my right big toe. Dr. Malhotra gave me incorrect medical advice and told me to soak my foot twice a day in epsom salt for 10 minutes, apply silver ointment, and wrap my big toe. Knowing what I know now, she had the nerve to tell me Neosporin was "too strong" and to use silver ointment. I told her the wound was draining constant fluid, it was soaking through the dressing every 30 minutes to an hour, and she told me to go down to soaking once a day. I listened to her. She said the dark purple skin was "bruising" but this is where it later turned black! I ended up getting gangrene in 15 days and I lost my right big toe. I followed up with Dr. Malhotra multiple times within the 15 days. I remember on the last day when she told me she was going to prescribe "light" oral antibiotics and to go to the ER and they may scrape off a little tissue from my toe, they did more than that! I was hospitalized, lost my toe and had to be on IV antibiotics for 6.5 weeks because the infection had spread to my bone and bloodstream. My 2nd and 3rd digits on that foot have broken since my big toe is not there to support my weight. I had to get the 2nd digit repaired because it turned into a hammer toe. I wish I could go back and think harder and realize her medical advice did not make sense, but I was just so young, scared, and listened to every word Dr. Malhotra said. Years later, I had a blister on my other foot's big toe that was even bigger than the one I had when I was 26. I kept it covered with sterile gauze, didn't get it wet at all, was prescribed oral antibiotics and it healed. I have talked to other doctors and they agreed I shouldn't have soaked it or applied ointment because it needed to be in a DRY enviroment. I wish I could give her -5 stars. I makes so depressed and upset looking at my deformed foot that could have been avoided. I looked at her website after the amputation, and it says she treats diabetic foot wounds and ulcers. I would have more respect for Dr. Malhotra if she had referred me to another doctor since she clearly didn't know what she was doing and I suffer because of it.
