Philosophy of care | Medicine and radiology should be centered on you, the patient, and your images should be tailored to address your specific concerns. As radiologists we add value through attention to detail and by communicating directly with your other physicians. Working together as part of the patient-care team makes us stronger and guides you toward the best possible outcome. | Why I entered medicine | Radiology is a rapidly evolving field and allows us to harness the latest technological advancements to help you. Through experiences with my own family and friends, I have seen time and time again radiology making a tremendous difference in the diagnosis and treatment of loved ones, and it is a privilege to be an integral part of your patient-care team. | Community involvement | I participate in local funding, clothing and food drives through organizations in the Lehigh Valley. I am also a member of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) and the Society of Skeletal Radiology. | Personal interests | I enjoy physical fitness (including running, weight training and hiking), and I believe physical activity is important to continued well-being and happiness. As a family, we enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures and food. Dr. Malhotra is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Spondylocarpotarsal Synostosis Syndrome.

Philosophy of care | My experience as a patient allows me to put myself in my patients’ shoes. I think about what they’re going through and try to answer all of their questions before they even ask. I’m passionate about getting people back to doing what they want to do, whether it’s going back to work, golfing or playing with their grandchildren. It’s rewarding to improve a patient’s quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | Members of my family are physicians, and I was an EMT in college. However, I was inspired to become a physiatrist when I had a tumor removed from my leg. The surgery led to nerve problems that affected my ability do everyday activities, like getting in and out of a chair. I believe these functional issues are often overlooked in medicine, and as a physiatrist, they are the things I address for my patients. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time outdoors. I go to parks, bike and ski. My best times are the ones I share with my family, especially my daughter and son. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.
