Patients Success Stories
I would highly recommend Mr Irfan Malik. After being dismissed by many doctors over a 20 year period with my chronic neck pain, I was finally placed in the right hands when I was referred to the highly regarded neurosurgeon Mr Malik. Not only is he an outstanding and skilled expert in his field, but a true and thorough professional. It has been a year since he performed surgery on my neck and there has been a vast improvement in my symptoms. I will be forever grateful to Mr Malik for giving me a better quality of life and for going over and beyond to help me.
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.
When I hobbled into Mr Malik’s office for our initial appointment, and saw he was wearing Hoka’s, I knew I’d found my surgeon! I was seen on the Friday evening, and was added to his operating list for the following day. He made the arrangements with the anaesthetist there and then, and Rebecca, his practice manager was able to quickly arrange my admission for the following morning and details for my insurance provider. The whole experience was slick, I am so thankful for the speed at which everything was organised. The difference in Mr Malik and a previous surgeon I had seen about my sciatica was second to none. He listened and explained everything so thoroughly. When I woke up after the op, all my sciatic pain was gone immediately, and my recovery has been great so far! If I ever needed anything doing to my back again, I would definitely be coming back. From appointment to operation in less than 24hrs…. How fantastic!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Irfan Malik and his outstanding team for the exceptional care I received before, during and after my revision discectomy surgery. After everything I had been through, I was understandably anxious about undergoing another surgery, but from the very beginning I felt that I was in safe and capable hands. Dr Malik took the time to explain everything clearly, listened to my concerns and gave me confidence throughout the whole process. I am incredibly happy to say that the surgery went very well. My recovery has been so much better than I could have hoped for, and most importantly, I am now pain-free and able to enjoy everyday life again. I cannot thank Dr Malik and his entire team enough for their professionalism, expertise, kindness and support. I will always be extremely grateful for what they have done for me. Thank you, Dr Malik, and the whole team, for giving me my quality of life back. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is considering treatment.
Mr. Malik did a very complex laminectomy and fusion on me in January 2024, which literally saved my life. My spinal cord was trapped in three places as I had a disease of the spine (OPLL - the posterior longitudinal ligament calcifies and turns to bone and grows inwards). I was in a lot of neuropathic pain, had myelopathy (losing sensation in my limbs) and was at risk of becoming quadriplegic if I had a fall or a crash and was slowly becoming quadriplegic already. There was no choice but to operate and it was a dangerous rare surgery with high risk. Mr Malik was incredibly kind throughout the process, he was very honest about the risks but was also extremely reassuring and very supportive to me and my family who were shocked at the immediacy of the diagnosis and need to act without delay. I had absolute faith in him. His care and after care at the Harley Street Clinic was first class. His ongoing care was incredible and he personally continued to monitor me and my progress between follow up appointments at his clinic. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Malik, there are not enough words to express my thanks to him. I am indebted to him. He has saved my life. He is the consummate professional and an incredibly compassionate and kind human being.
I would like to sincerely thank Mr Irfan Malik and his wonderful team for the outstanding care and treatment I received at The Harley Street Clinic in March. From my initial consultation through to my surgery and recovery, every member of staff was professional, attentive, and incredibly supportive. My microdiscectomy at L5 was performed at 35 Weymouth Street, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The nurses and medical team could not have done more to make me feel comfortable and reassured me throughout. I feel extremely fortunate to have had Mr Malik as my consultant. Six weeks after surgery, I am now pain free for the first time in six months. I have started physiotherapy and am already becoming stronger and more mobile each week. The care I received was truly second to none, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Malik and his team to anyone considering spinal surgery.

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.
