About Me
As a general dermatology specialist, I treat patients with a wide variety of conditions like acne, warts, rashes, nail diseases, pigmentation disorders and skin cancers.
I want my patients to view me as a compassionate partner and reliable resource in their health care. I believe it’s important to educate patients about all of their options in order to provide the highest level of treatment possible.
As a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Medicine, it’s a privilege to return and help to train the next generation of physicians. I also enjoy collaborating with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s talented team of dermatologists to provide innovative patient care.
In my free time, I enjoy spending family time with my husband and three children. I also love reading and creative crafting.

All good experiences
Dr Malerich was so good. She was careful to explain every step of the procedure (removing and biopsying a blob on my face). She told me exactly what she was going to do, and why, and then guided me through as she carried out each step. She reassured me along the way, quietly conversing and letting me know that Novocain to the face usually made people's eyes water. I felt comforted being in her care.

I had heard good things about Dr M, but truly I was SHOCKED at how kind and thorough she was!
