Mr Malagelada takes a patient-centric approach to care and offers both surgical and non-surgical options to adapt to each patient's lifestyle.

Mr Malagelada studied medicine at the University of Barcelona in 2005 before training in orthopaedics at renowned institutions, including The Royal London and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He completed a one-year fellowship at the Windsor Foot and Ankle Unit, where he gained foot and ankle expertise.

Explanation

I had been seeing other physios and specialists to deal with my ongoing problem and it only improved after seeing Dr Malagelada. It had become very debilitating as I'm an active person but he found what was causing the problem and more importantly organised the right treatment. I'm back to the gym now and very grateful to Dr Malagelada.

Francesc is first of all a very nice guy that put you at ease, very easy to talk with, clear in all his explanations, gives you all the time to explain and does a proper follow up always showing a genuine interest. Professionally seems very well prepared, and when you need scans, physio etc he has people to suggest which have been proven to be equally well prepared, easy to talk with. I would definitely recommend

What a brilliant doctor and attentive professional. His expertise is evident and his care has been second to none. I was referred to him and I am delighted with the treatment provided. My ankle had been playing up for months and I was unable to run painfree. He did keyhole surgery and repaired my torn ligament – back to running and painfree! Thank you Mr Malagelada

Mr Malagelada is a highly valued and trusted colleague. He is hugely experienced in managing foot & ankle pathology and not only offers patients a knowledge and evidence-based opinion but is kind and considerate.
