Patients Success Stories
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.
I had an exceptional experience with Mr. Malik, who expertly addressed a complex issue following a previous spinal surgery I underwent abroad. After that initial procedure, my implant had unfortunately shifted backward, resulting in an unusual body contour and persistent, severe pain accompanied by numbness in my right leg. Upon consulting Mr. Malik, he conducted a comprehensive examination and recommended an ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgery to correct the problem. Understandably, I felt apprehensive about such an extensive operation, but Mr. Malik’s professionalism and reassuring approach put me at ease. The surgery itself was a resounding success, and now, nearly six weeks post-operation, I’m thrilled with my progress—I’m already walking 6.5 kilometers a day! While there’s still some minor discomfort, it’s a vast improvement, and I’m optimistic that with physiotherapy, I’ll soon be completely pain-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Malik for his skill, dedication, and ability to transform a challenging situation into a positive outcome.
I was referred to Mr Malik with severe lower spine and nerve pain. His care has been extremely thorough, leaving no stone unturned to diagnose and treat my issues. I have always felt very well cared for and in very safe hands. He always takes the time to explain things and to answer any questions. I underwent a successful ALIF spinal fusion in 2023 and am now pain free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Malik to anyone suffering with lumbar issues , he is extremely experienced in his field.
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.
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
