Patients Success Stories
Exceptional care — truly life-changing
I recently underwent spinal decompression surgery with Dr. Irfan Malik (Neurosurgeon), and I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care I received. From our very first consultation through the operation and immediate recovery, Dr. Malik was professional, reassuring, and thoroughly attentive.
He explained the procedure step by step in clear, easy-to-understand terms and patiently answered all of my questions — which made me feel confident and well-informed before going into surgery. The operation was successful: I experienced relief from my nerve pain straight after the surgery. Aside from normal post-surgical discomfort, which resolved within about a week, my symptoms improved dramatically and my recovery has been smooth.
Dr. Malik’s bedside manner is warm and empathetic. He communicated in a friendly and respectful way, and I always felt heard and cared for. His skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the whole process.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Irfan Malik to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate neurosurgeon. His combination of technical excellence and genuine empathy made a real difference in my recovery

All the staff at the Clinic, were extremely helpful and kind whilst remaining diligent and professional.
I had an incredible experience with my neurosurgeon during my neck/shoulder/arm treatment. From the very first consultation, Mr Irfan Malik took the time to explain my condition thoroughly and reassured me about the procedure. His expertise immediately put me at ease and the surgery went smoothly. Truly grateful for his compassion and professionalism. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Great surgeon with an excellent manner. Has been very helpful in explaining everything from pre, during and post op. Would recommend.
I underwent a TLIF procedure abroad which unfortunately left me with significant disability and ongoing pain. My spine was tilted to the left, and the implant had not been properly secured, resulting in forward migration and serious complications.
I was subsequently referred to Mr Irfan Malik, who performed an ALIF surgery in January last year. From the outset, his approach was thorough, reassuring, and highly professional. He remained closely involved throughout my recovery, providing consistent follow-up and clear guidance at every stage.
I had repeat imaging two weeks ago, which has confirmed an excellent outcome. I have now been cleared to return to the gym and resume normal activities, something I did not think would be possible at one stage.
I am extremely grateful for the care, expertise, and commitment shown.
Highly recommended.

Sciatica buttock pain occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions. The pain may radiate from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg, sometimes accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Osteoarthritis of the spine can range from mild stiffness and discomfort to persistent pain and reduced mobility. In more severe cases, it may cause nerve compression, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and maintain quality of life.
A full spine MRI typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the imaging protocol and whether contrast is required. The scan examines the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine to help identify conditions such as disc problems, spinal stenosis, and other abnormalities.
Yes, a lumbar spine MRI can detect suspicious abnormalities, including tumours in the vertebrae, spinal cord, or surrounding tissues. It can help identify possible primary or metastatic cancer, although further tests or a biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Living with spine pain can affect daily activities, mobility, and quality of life. Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive treatment option for suitable patients, using small incisions and specialised instruments to relieve nerve compression. It may help reduce pain, minimise tissue damage, and support a faster recovery compared with some traditional surgical approaches.
Sports spinal injuries can occur due to sudden impacts, falls, overuse, or improper techniques during physical activity. They may cause back pain, muscle strain, or nerve irritation. Early assessment, appropriate treatment, and guided rehabilitation can help manage symptoms and support a safe return to sports.
A herniated disc can cause sharp or aching back pain, neck pain, muscle weakness, or pain that travels into the arms or legs.
