HSHS Medical Group Awards Provider of the Month to Paul Malcharek, MD

The Provider of the Month is chosen from nominations submitted by fellow HSHS Medical Group team members. "Dr. Malcharek constantly shows our office how caring he is by checking on all of us and making sure we are always kept in the loop. He spends quality time with every patient he sees in a day. Many patients report that he takes his time with them which makes them feel heard."

His favorite part of his job is connecting with patients and families that he has cared for many years. "I feel that the way I treat my patients shows to my staff," says Dr. Malcharek. "I want my patients to be treated the way I want my family and myself to be treated. I try to make sure that my staff feels appreciated for what they do in the office as I cannot be successful without them leading the way. I want to treat every patient like they are important and be honest to them about their health."

When away from work, Dr. Malcharek enjoys playing tennis, CrossFit, cheering on the University of Illinois football and basketball teams as well as being an active member of his church.
