I recently consulted Mr. Malik for acute back pain. He was professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable in his field. He took the time to explain the cause of my pain and discussed treatment options in a clear and reassuring manner. I felt well cared for throughout the consultation and would highly recommend him to all.

What Patients Are Saying About Us
Clearly Very Knowledgeable!
Mark Buckley
I Am Now Pain Free!
I had severe pain down my left hand side due to a disc in my neck bulging out and trapping a nerve. Dr Malik explained he would replace the disc releasing the nerve. After the surgery the relief was instant and I am now pain free. So very thankful for his skilled surgery.
Lindsay Crowther
Thoroughly Recommend Mr Malik!
I would thoroughly recommend Mr Malik – he has been excellent during my post spinal fixation surgery. He listened to my concerns and was understanding during my recovery process, clearly explaining where my body was during the last 2.5 years.

Common conditions include herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression causing back or neck pain.
What are the benefits of endoscopic spine surgery?

How long is the recovery period?
Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and gradually resume normal routines. Your recovery plan will depend on your specific condition and procedure.
