Who Is Dr. Todd Andrew Maletich?
If you research “Dr. Todd Maletich” online, you’ll find quotes about memory foam pillows, articles on spine support, and advice about how to sleep better. What you won’t find, unless you look beyond the fluff, is what happened when I came forward after being sexually assaulted by one of his colleagues.
Dr. Todd Maletich serves as Clinic Director at AICA Orthopedics, where his role overseeing providers has come under scrutiny following a reported sexual assault involving one of his supervised doctors.
He is a licensed chiropractor in Georgia who claims over 20 years of experience in the industry. He’s quoted in lifestyle features like this Yahoo article recommending the perfect pillow for back pain.
But what does he recommend for sexual assault? A cooling pillow — or silence, deflection, and institutional protection?
The Silence After the Report
In 2025, I filed a police report and civilian warrant against Dr. Alexander Steele, a provider at AICA Orthopedics, for sexual misconduct. Dr. Todd Maletich, who described himself as Steele’s direct supervisor, testified in court — not in support of the patient, but in defense of the man accused.
This wasn’t about a missed appointment or a billing dispute. It was about a patient reporting sexual trauma inside a chiropractic clinic. And instead of taking the stand to speak to policies, accountability, or safety, Dr. Maletich chose to stand behind the provider I reported.
So my question to him is simple: How well do you sleep on your fancy memory foam pillow, knowing you helped cover up a sexual assault you weren’t even present to witness?
Why Does This Matter?
Because when you market yourself as a 20-year spine expert and quote yourself on sleep hygiene and holistic care, the public deserves to know how you show up when something truly disturbing happens inside your walls.
Dr. Maletich presents himself as a proud husband and father of three boys. I can’t imagine he’s teaching them that defending a doctor accused of sexual assault is the right thing to do. But what matters isn’t the image he puts in a lifestyle feature about pillows— it’s what he chooses to say when a patient is harmed.
There seems to be three things Dr. Maletich cares about: memory foam pillows, profit over patient care, and preserving the image of the clinic he helps run — even when patients and employees are harmed under their roof.
What You Won’t Find in His Articles
You won’t find mention of the patient who says she was sexually assaulted under his supervision. You won’t find his public statement taking responsibility or promising reform. You won’t find a single word about accountability. But don’t worry — I kept the receipts. I created DontLetHimWalk.com so the things they tried to erase could live in plain sight.
The Next Time You Consider Dr. Todd Andrew Maletich for care or even mentorship…
Ask yourself: Is this the chiropractor you’d trust with your body?
Is this the kind of “care” you want behind your treatment plan?
And if he’s supervising the next generation of providers — like a “young, promising doctor” such as Alexander Steele — what exactly is he teaching them to protect?
Because I find it deeply disturbing how quick the advice comes when it’s about neck support —but when a patient reports sexual assault, the only comfort offered is a fluffy pillow and a closed door.
