Patients Success Stories
After a long time pain in my back and mistreatment of my pain in hospital and with no progress for treatment of my pain , I was referred to Dr Malik by one of my friend and Dr Malik kindly arranged an emergency appointment and discectomy. That was a successful operation and I could walk again and go back home after 24 hours and that was a very quick recovery.
Consulted with Mr Malik and team as 2nd opinion but became immediately clear his advice was superior to original recommendation. Completed procedure very shortly thereafter at Harley Street Clinic. Was first surgery and procedure went as planned, care and followup have been top class. Highly recommend.
I underwent a TLIF procedure abroad which unfortunately left me with significant disability and ongoing pain. My spine was tilted to the left, and the implant had not been properly secured, resulting in forward migration and serious complications. I was subsequently referred to Mr Irfan Malik, who performed an ALIF surgery in January last year. From the outset, his approach was thorough, reassuring, and highly professional. He remained closely involved throughout my recovery, providing consistent follow-up and clear guidance at every stage. I had repeat imaging two weeks ago, which has confirmed an excellent outcome. I have now been cleared to return to the gym and resume normal activities, something I did not think would be possible at one stage. I am extremely grateful for the care, expertise, and commitment shown. Highly recommended.
I was operated on by Dr. Malek on February 8, 2025. Since June 2024 I have been suffering from terrible pain in my right leg due to the crushing of the sciatic nerve caused by a disc. I am a very active person, I work in my clothing store every day, but I had reached the point of not being able to leave the house unless accompanied and for very short distances because the pain was unbearable. I had three steroid injections with no results, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, no relief and I took 12 anti-inflammatories a day. I couldn't take it anymore from the pain, the surgery scared me but Dr. Malek gave me total confidence by explaining the surgery to me with patience and kindness. In the hospital I was welcomed by an excellent, professional and always very kind team. Only 10 days have passed. The pain went away immediately and yesterday after many months I went out for a walk alone, it seemed like a dream. I can absolutely say that Dr. Malek has given me my life back. Cristina Lelli
Had a spine surgery in August, 2021 and left the hospital same day and walked upstairs by MYSELF. I came back asking my family if i really had any procedure done. It was the fastest and safest laser procedure ever. Mr. Malik was so welcoming and homely, and that alone made it so easy for me to make up my mind for the surgery. I live a pain free life now. He is my BEST neurosurgeon in the world. God bless you wherever you are.

Sciatica buttock pain occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed, often due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions. The pain may radiate from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg, sometimes accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness.
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. Some people also experience tingling or numbness due to nerve compression, while others have no symptoms. Early assessment can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
