Why West Houston Patients Choose Dr. Malik
BOARD CERTIFIED, FELLOW OF AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS AND GENERAL SURGERY CRITICAL CARE & VASCULAR SURGERYMany of our Houston patients live or work in or near the Energy Corridor and want vascular care that fits around demanding schedules. Between commutes on I-10, long hours at the office, and family responsibilities, finding time for medical care can be difficult — which is why our approach is built around efficiency without sacrificing quality.
From your first visit, Dr. Malik focuses on accurate diagnosis using in-office diagnostic imaging, so you're not sent elsewhere for basic testing and can often get answers in a single visit. From there, she walks you through a clear treatment plan, explaining what's actually happening with your circulation in plain language, not medical jargon, so you understand your options before deciding on next steps.
Wherever appropriate, treatment is done using minimally invasive, outpatient techniques designed to reduce downtime and get you back to work and daily life faster than traditional surgery would allow. Throughout the process, Dr. Malik and her team prioritize direct, honest communication, so you always know what to expect at each stage of your care, from consultation to recovery.
Conditions We Treat at This Location
Our Houston office diagnoses and treats a full range of circulation and vein conditions, with care built around each patient's specific symptoms and goals.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) — narrowed arteries causing leg pain, cramping, or fatigue while walking
- Varicose and spider veins — from cosmetic concerns to painful, bulging veins affecting daily comfort
- Blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — including diagnosis and clot management
- Carotid artery disease — narrowed neck arteries linked to stroke risk
- Aneurysms — weakened or bulging blood vessels requiring monitoring or surgical repair
- Diabetic circulation issues — reduced blood flow to the legs and feet common in diabetic patients
- Non-healing leg and foot wounds — chronic ulcers that need specialized wound care to prevent infection or amputation
Every condition is evaluated with the same approach: an accurate diagnosis first, then a treatment plan matched to severity and lifestyle — from medication and monitoring to minimally invasive procedures.

Signs It's Time for a Visit
Vascular disease often develops gradually, which means many of the early warning signs are easy to dismiss or attribute to something else — aging, being on your feet too much, or just having a long day. When these symptoms show up consistently, they're usually your circulatory system telling you something worth paying attention to.
Common signs to watch for:
- Leg pain or cramping while walking that eases with rest (a pattern known as claudication) — one of the most common early indicators of peripheral artery disease
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, especially if it's new or getting worse
- Cold feet or numbness, particularly if one leg feels noticeably different from the other
- Visible varicose veins with aching, heaviness, or throbbing that gets worse throughout the day
- A wound or sore on the leg or foot that isn't healing within a few weeks — especially important for patients managing diabetes
The earlier any of these symptoms are evaluated, the more treatment options are typically available, and the more likely it is to prevent progression to more serious complications. If any of this sounds familiar, scheduling a vascular evaluation is a reasonable next step.
