Patients Success Stories
Mr. Irfan Malik Neurosurgeon is the most clever and skilled gentleman he has a font of knowledge which is exceptional. I have suffered with localized back pain which has progressed to beyond severe after a year and a half no conventional medicine helped .He has been my last whisper of hope to resolve it. I had a benign tumour in my throracic spine vertebra. He found the solution which meant surgery, I welcomed this I had my surgery within a fortnight just how wonderful is that. By the time I had my review two weeks later I could report that the intense pain had gone and was now only a sore area that would heal with time just a tiny area no great big cuts although I would not have minded to be free of pain.We all think consultants are like magicians but he really is and utterly charming and easy to talk to the greatest gift is to listen and he has that in abundance.I would also like to give a huge thank you to all the team that work with him.I would not hesitate in recommending him .
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 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.
Dr Malik has given me back my quality of life. He performed a difficult surgery to an excellent standard. The outcomes have surpassed my expectations. He prepared me well with adequate information ahead of the surgery, and guided me in our follow up consultations. I was happy with the level of care provided in the hospital. The rehab process was more challenging than I had anticipated: I put in a lot of energy, time and money to get the support I needed, but it was well worth it.
My mother had a spinal deformity that was affecting her daily life. We took her to Mr. Irfan Malik, who recommended a spinal deformity correction procedure. The results have been incredible. She is now more active and pain-free. We are so grateful for his help.
I cannot recommend Mr. Malik, Neurosurgeon, highly enough. He recently performed surgery on my mother to treat severely compressed nerves and a slipped disc, and the entire experience has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The surgery went smoothly, and Mr. Malik kept me fully informed throughout the process. He took the time to call me personally as soon as the procedure was over, which meant so much to me and my family. His approachable, friendly, and professional manner gave us complete confidence at every stage. Thanks to Mr. Malik’s skill and expertise, my mum is now feeling so much better. The difference in her comfort and mobility is remarkable. A big thank you also to Rebecca, Mr. Malik’s secretary, for her efficiency and support. She was on top of all the admin and communication, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. Overall, the care and service we received was exceptional. Mr. Malik and his team truly go above and beyond.
