Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Dr. Malik, your first visit and treatment.
What conditions does Dr. Rema Malik treat?
Dr. Malik treats both vein and artery problems. On the vein side, that includes varicose veins, spider veins, and chronic venous insufficiency. On the artery side, she treats PAD, carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, DVT, and non-healing wounds for limb preservation.
Do I need a referral to see a vascular surgeon?
No. You can book directly with our office. Your insurance plan might still ask for one to cover the visit, so it's worth a quick check with them.
Is Dr. Malik board-certified?
Yes. She's triple board-certified by the American Board of Surgery in Vascular Surgery, General Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care. She's also an FACS and an RPVI.
Where are your offices located?
We have three offices in the Houston area: Sugar Land, Houston, and Tomball. Call (832) 400-2763 and we'll point you to the closest one.
What's the difference between a vein specialist and a vascular surgeon?
A vascular surgeon treats both veins and arteries, and can do everything from in-office procedures to surgery. A "vein specialist" usually handles only surface or cosmetic vein problems.
Are treatments minimally invasive?
Most are. We use minimally invasive methods where we can, usually right in the office, so recovery is quick. We only recommend surgery when it's the better option for you.
Does Dr. Malik speak any languages besides English?
Yes. She sees patients in English and Urdu.
What should I expect at my first visit?
You'll start with a consultation. If you need imaging like a duplex ultrasound, we do it on-site. Most people leave the same day knowing their diagnosis and their options.
