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.

Mr Malik performed decompression spine surgery 4wks ago, due to a slipped disc which had caused me sciatic pain (for over 8 months) which was effecting my everyday lifestyle. The surgery was a success (I no longer have leg pain), the scar is neat and I am now recovery with physio. I am extremely grateful to Mr Malik (and the nurses that looked after me pre surgery and the night I was in hospital) for the excellent pre and on the day care.

Mr Malik operated on me last week for lumber decompression and microdisectomy. Unbelievable results so far, the nerve pain which was debilitating has gone. Recovery going well. Mr Malik was very reassuring and I felt very confident in his hands as my surgeon.

Before surgery, I was in severe pain caused by a large L4/L5 disc herniation. I cannot recommend Irfan Malik highly enough. From the initial consultation, I felt reassured that I was in expert hands. He clearly explained all treatment options and the likely outcomes, and in my case, surgery was the most appropriate path forward. Although the operation was already scheduled, I experienced a sudden and severe flare-up 3 days beforehand. I felt a “pop” in my back that left me barely able to stand or walk beyond the bathroom. I was admitted to hospital earlier than planned, and Mr Malik was willing to come in and operate late on a Friday evening if needed. This meant a great deal to me. Mr Malik performed an endoscopic discectomy and found that the nerve was severely compressed and inflamed. The result was immediate. I woke up with complete relief from the leg pain, and within days I was walking comfortably again. The only way I can describe it is like having a splinter removed. Waking up pain-free felt surreal, but it was real. My recovery has exceeded all expectations. Four weeks on, I feel completely back to normal and have started physiotherapy. Throughout the entire process, Mr Malik was calm, clear, and highly professional, which made a very difficult situation much easier for both me and my partner. I would also add that Fortius Clinic, where the procedure took place, was outstanding. The level of care and comfort was exceptional, more like a five-star hotel than a medical facility. I, along with many others, owe Mr Malik a debt of gratitude that is hard to put into words.

I cannot recommend Mr. Malik, Neurosurgeon, highly enough. He recently performed surgery on my mother to treat severely compressed nerves and a slipped disc, and the entire experience has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The surgery went smoothly, and Mr. Malik kept me fully informed throughout the process. He took the time to call me personally as soon as the procedure was over, which meant so much to me and my family. His approachable, friendly, and professional manner gave us complete confidence at every stage. Thanks to Mr. Malik’s skill and expertise, my mum is now feeling so much better. The difference in her comfort and mobility is remarkable. A big thank you also to Rebecca, Mr. Malik’s secretary, for her efficiency and support. She was on top of all the admin and communication, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. Overall, the care and service we received was exceptional. Mr. Malik and his team truly go above and beyond.

Dr Malik was superb in seeing me on such short notice and the operation went smooth as can be. Highly recommend!
