Patients Success Stories
Mr Malik is a wonderful man and a brilliant surgeon. I was in immense pain while traveling outside my home country and found him on recommendation from a trusted friend. He quickly diagnosed and sorted my troubles and now I’m recovering and pain free. Forever grateful!
I have had a titanium disc replacement C6-C7. great experience from the start of my diagnosis. Very thorough. Scar has healed amazingly. Photo is 6 weeks post Surgery. I would highly recommend Mr Malik.
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.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Irfan Malik, Neurosurgeon, for the exceptional care and expertise he provided during my spinal surgery. Before the procedure, I was suffering from very severe back, hip, and leg pain (over a decade)that made daily life extremely difficult. I was in constant discomfort and struggling just to get through the day. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Malik demonstrated not only outstanding professionalism but also genuine compassion and reassurance every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and help me feel confident moving forward with the surgery. I’m now on the path to recovery, finally free from the pain that had taken over my life. Dr. Malik’s calm demeanor, clear communication, and thorough approach gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I truly feel fortunate to have had Dr. Malik as my Neurosurgeon. His work has made a profound difference in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of spinal care. Thank you again, Dr. Malik, for giving me a new lease on life. I am forever grateful for your exceptional skill and compassion.
My experience with Mr Malik and his team was first-rate in all respects. Three weeks ago, he administered a nerve root injection to treat a bulging disc in my lumbar region. The relief from two months of acute pain and loss of mobility was immediate from the moment I came around from sedation. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in a similar position.
