Patient Reviews
May 14, 2021
Dr. Malafa is the kindest most knowledgeable surgeon. He explains everything in detail and makes you feel so comfortable. He saved my life taking out ipmn cyst with high grade dysplasia, and had no complications. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is, and really cares about the patient, explaining everything in such detail. I am very blessed to have found him.
