    Because she is passionate about personalized care for patients of all ages, Dr. Malhotra encourages an honest dialogue with patients so that they can have the information needed on the latest treatments, access to the most state-of-the-art technologies, and develops a comprehensive treatment plan to help achieve a long-term skin care plan to restore glowing and natural skin.
