Dr. Malik has been practicing in small animal hospitals in New York for the last three years. She has gained practice in emergency medicine and her particular areas of interest are dermatology, internal medicine, and surgery. Her desire for nature and beautiful weather has brought her to sunny San Diego.

When not working, Dr. Malik enjoys reading, working out, spending time with her family and friends, watching sunsets, and traveling. She is also an avid hiker and has hiked the Inca Trail in Peru. Recently fate brought her together with an adorable new pup, Juniper, who is a Shorgi – a mix of Corgi and Shih Tzu.
