Patients Success Stories
Mr Malik was wonderful, he has paid attention to my symptoms and explored through tests how he could best help me with a plan for every outcome. He identified the damaged nerves that had plagued the last 40 years of my life and used pioneering surgery to obliterate the nerve endings. Recovery began immediately…. And although I have a long way to go I know so am in safe hands
Mr Irfan Malik was amazing. I am really happy with his service, he really looked after my mum, so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much for everything.
My husband has spinal surgery performed by Mr Malik last month, and I am extremely grateful for his expertise. My husband's recovery was much faster than anticipated, and Mr Malik was integral to this. He was continuously in contact throughout the whole process and put both of our mind's at ease. We were also very impressed with the junior staff involved, I would highly recommend Mr Malik and his team for anyone requiring spinal surgery.
All the staff at the Clinic, were extremely helpful and kind whilst remaining diligent and professional.
I had experiencing pain for a while and was seen by Mr Malik who treated me with the utmost professionalism and care. His expertise and knowledge put me at ease while he provided the best treatment I could have hoped for. I am beyond grateful to Mr Malik and his team for the experience and can’t recommend him highly enough! Thank you always
I am so grateful to Dr Irfan Malik and his surgical team for looking after me through my back surgery and recovery.
Having spinal surgery (mine was at Fortius clinic) is a big decision and it can feel very frightening. It meant so much to be able to ask questions and talk through my worries with Dr Malik.
I also want to say a special thank you to his secretary, Tayla D. (who has been so lovely, patient, responsive, positive 🌸) and also to his wider MSpine support team (I also must mention spinal Nurse Consultant Janidra T. at Fortius Clinic who is an absolutely angel and was always there when I needed her. Thank you Jan very much ❤️). They have been so patient, kind and supportive. When you are worried, having someone take the time to listen and help makes such a difference. I have felt cared for as a person throughout this experience.
I am now just over three weeks after surgery. I am still healing, but I can feel myself getting stronger, with more energy and a little more confidence every day. At my recent checkup, Dr Malik cleared me to start physiotherapy and gentle swimming, which felt like such encouraging and uplifting step forward.
Thank you to Dr Malik and all the team involved in my care. There is still some recovery ahead, but I am very thankful for your help in getting me to this point 💯🙏🏻
