Patients Success Stories
Dr Malik has given me back my quality of life. He performed a difficult surgery to an excellent standard. The outcomes have surpassed my expectations. He prepared me well with adequate information ahead of the surgery, and guided me in our follow up consultations. I was happy with the level of care provided in the hospital. The rehab process was more challenging than I had anticipated: I put in a lot of energy, time and money to get the support I needed, but it was well worth it.
My experience of having Mr Malik as a surgeon was excellent. He explained the underlying problem in simple terms, explained my treatment options and escalated the speed of arranging surgery in response to my high pain level. The surgery went as planned and the follow up appointments were very helpful. Mr Malik also has a very professional and personable approach which is reassuring at a time of being unwell and nervous
Mr Malik is a miracle worker. Thorough and attentive, he was able to quickly diagnose a disc issue that had been causing problems for months and the surgery instantly and completely relieved my pain. Kind, considerate and compassionate, I was made aware of all the relevant inforamtion and listened to. Very glad to have had him as my surgeon.
After a long time pain in my back and mistreatment of my pain in hospital and with no progress for treatment of my pain , I was referred to Dr Malik by one of my friend and Dr Malik kindly arranged an emergency appointment and discectomy. That was a successful operation and I could walk again and go back home after 24 hours and that was a very quick recovery.
I would thoroughly recommend Mr Malik - he has been excellent during my post spinal fixation surgery. He listened to my concerns and was understanding during my recovery process, clearly explaining where my body was during the last 2.5 years.
Absolutely wonderful service from start to finish. The care was seamless. Dr Malik and his team took great care of my delicate spinal surgery with outstanding outcome and it’s only been a week!
I had Rt foot drop with lack of function and sensory impairment for several months before surgery.
I have got sensation back in my Rt lower limb and no doubt will regain function as well. This was unimaginable just a few months ago- it’s truly astonishing to have noticed such a difference…testament to excellent surgery done by Mr Malik and his team!
Mr I Malik was thorough, patient and explained things and nothing was too much trouble. He checked in at regular intervals to make sure things were progressing well and I can only say I can barely contain my delight!! Mr I Malik is a true gentleman with exemplary bedside manners and goes without saying being highly skilled at what he does!!
Thank you SO SO much for your first class care! Will always be grateful 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
