The practice is nice and the receptionists are really helpful. But Doctor Malik is blunt and reductive. I reported symptoms of PTSD a few years ago (nightmares, flashbacks, depression, anxiety, paranoia) after experiencing severe sexual violence. Doctor Malik told me there was no medication and instead the only solution was to get over it. I didn't ask for medication, I asked for help. He could have refered me to get therapy on the NHS, or discussed antidepressants, but he didn't take the time to explore those even as an option. I was young and vulnerable and he shut me down like I was being overdramatic. Only after talking to other doctors have I realised all the ways he didn't help.
