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.

Dr. Malerich is the best dermatologist I have ever seen. She is friendly, thorough, competent, takes her time and is willing to take care of issues right away. She is responsive on MyChart. My family saw her in a previous practice and loved her; we waited a long time to be scheduled in to see her again, and it was definitely worth it.
Dr. Malerich is always engaging, knowledgeable, and informative. I came to Wexner for dermatology care because of her.

Dr. Malerich seems knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. I trust her completely.
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.

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

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.

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.)
She is amazing. Goes above & beyond!
Wonderful listener
She was marvelous - and I told her so! (In reply, she was thrilled, of course.)
Very kind & caring.
