We met Dr. Maale in 1994 when my then 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with a chondrosarcoma/osteosarcoma. He scared me when he said she had cancer but said, Thank God he gave you this type of cancer because when I take it out it will be gone. Well, it was. She went through many tests to make sure there was just one place where the disease was and then 2 surgeries. The first was supposed to be the only one however the pathologist and Dr. Maale could not agree on the degree of the cancer so they closed and sent the biopsy to the Mayo Clinic for the determination of level of cancer. He did not want to do more surgery than was necessary to correct the problem. 2 weeks later the surgery was performed, a limb surgery where she needed bone grafts and physical therapy. She recovered well and has been cancer free for 13 years. Dr. Maale is a great person and great physician with a great staff. He is a hard person and expects a lot from his patients but has a caring heart underneath that face. He brought his son to the hospital on rounds when we were recovering. The down side is the fact he is so very very sought out and busy that the wait time is long in the waiting room and exam room. I very much like Presbyterian Hospital, their staff and all they did for us during this time. I was a single mother raising two children and the hospital recognized my needs stepping in to help us even though we had insurance coverage. A True Blessing-Dr. Maale, Kim, Bonnie and so many others along with Presbyterian Hospital. We thank you greatly again 13 years later.

Until I had my first child a few years ago, I worked for Dr. Maale for over 7 years. Dr. Maale is a fabulous physician. I was proud to be a member of his team. His expectations of his employees and patients is high, but since he gives 110% he expects those around him to do so as well. He handles cases that no other physician will touch and has helped so many people through the years lead disease-free lives. He works his fingers to a bone so that he can help as many people as he can. Most doctor's offices will make you wait for a a new patient appointment for months-Dr. Maale will take you within a week most of the time. He will work you in when an emergency arises and makes exceptions, unlike most doctors. He truly cares about his patients and giving them the best life possible. He is truly top notch. There are many reasons why he was so deservedly named one of Dallas-Ft. Worth's top physicians a few years ago!

Dr. Maale is one of the best and the brightest physicians I have ever met. He is compassionate and he knows every detail about my case. He is extremely efficient and goes through great lengths to use the resource base of physicians at Presbyterian Hospital for diagnostic purposes. I would travel form any where in the world to see Dr. Maale. He has the right stuff

I was about 15 years old when Dr. Maale removed my tumor. He was so nice and knowledgeable. He went through every step of the process to make sure that my mother and I had nothing to worry about. He took away our worries and panic. He is an awesome doctor, and I am excited about seeing him again- I'm going in for a check-up.

In 1993 I was referred to Dr. Maale for osteomylytis of left femur. Dr Maale had to rebuild my femur and he also killed the infection that no-one else could even touch. He has different and better approaches to repairing the human body and they work. He saved my left leg and probably my life. He is tough and expects his patients to do what he tells them . In my opinion, he is the greatest Dr. in his field. I wasted six months with another doctor and Dr. Maale had me up and going in 4 months. Trying to get an appointment is hard but it is worth the wait . He is in-fact a modern day miracle worker.
