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.

Cheerful
Very good care
I had heard good things about Dr M, but truly I was SHOCKED at how kind and thorough she was! Part of the reason why I switched dermatologists was because my last one didn't let me ask questions, and spent less than 2 minutes with me. Dr M was so kind, literally sat with me and said "okay, let's go head to toe and talk things out". She was amazing.
Dr. Malerich was excellent. She did the skin exam in sections so she uncovered body sections one at a time. She asked further questions during the exam as well as providing information about her findings. She provided excellent education throughout the visit.
This was my first time seeing a dermatologist and Dr. Malerich made it a great experience. She took time to explain everything to me and developed an effective care plan.

Sets me at ease. Provides lots of information, answered all my questions and makes the exam less stressful!
Love this provider. Saw her years ago and then she left the facility and when she returned to the state, followed her. Respectful of patients, takes the time to understand the concern and then she goes the extra mile and explains what each mole is and why she is determining each treatment option. I have recommended this provider to so many friends and family. Feel she is an outstanding physician.

She described all the moles and skin lesions on my body - none of them needed further care
She was prompt and courteous and explained the procedure and possible findings in terms I could understand.

My care provider was excellent and helped me with all my concerns & questions.
She is amazing, I have referred her to several friends and family members. She either remembers a lot of information or actually reviews your chart before your visit. Follow up questions relevant to your care are asked and your follow up care is reinforced prior to leaving. I was offered to stay at the previous location with other providers if the drive to the new location was too much however to maintain care with this provider, I am willing to drive the extra time.
Very friendly and personable, helpful!
Always kind and good sense of humor - much appreciated.

Very good, I like the manner of how she works.

Skin check for potential concerning moles etc., seemed somewhat cursory compared to other dermatologists, including scalp. Limited info provided on home care follow up for skin conditions. She was very willing to take extra time to provide a quick skin treatment.
I was there with my nursing infant and I appreciated Dr. Malerich's overall concern for my time and comfort. She offered me space to nurse if needed and didn't make me feel rushed or that I was an inconvenience for bringing my baby.
Everything was good, the only complaint was the amount of time to wait for an appointment.
Excellent.
All good

Kind, good listener,
Very pleasant & caring.
Dr. Malerich is conscientious, thorough and concerned about my dermatological health. Dr. Malerich always asks if I have any questions for her about my skin treatment, which invites a discussion and I appreciate that!
I've been very happy w/Dr. Malerich & hope she stays at OSU for many years. She is thorough, attentive, & personable.
She was also great. She did talk very fast though, but I'm sure she would have slowed down or repeated if I had asked
Should listen better
The Doctor put me at ease during a sensitive procedure. She worked me into her schedule. Not only that I was in and out before my actual appointment time and able to get to work quickly after.
Seemed hurried. Ignored some concerns I mentioned
Knowledgeable, simple and easy to understand advice. Very nice and empathetic.
Always enjoy this annual visit with Dr. Malerich -
I have truly appreciated her work, so much that I will see her at the new Dublin office even though it is out of the way from where I live and work.
She is excellent and very knowledgeable.
Competent, respectful care - as always.
She's awesome/I sent her a message through MyChart w/pics of problematic area & she replied ASAP & got me in w/in a few hours! It was something that needed an Rx & cultured. I can send messages & she always replies or will call me! Sends results of tests through MyChart ASAP w/follow up info. (I prefer MyChart over phone call - easier to refer back to later if I forget something.)
