Mr Irfan Malik is clear and professional with his patients. He gives good care to all. Patients feel safe and get fast pain relief. Key themes are spinal surgery, a slipped disc, sciatica, and leg pain.
Mr Malik treated me for a tumor removal in the L3 region of my spine. He is exceptionally professional—an outstanding surgeon supported by a superb team. I am deeply grateful to him and his team for the excellent care I received.
Mr Malik is a very knowledgeable and approachable spinal surgeon. He answered all of my questions clearly, and explained complex topics in an easy to understand way. He visited me after my surgery and was very reassuring and put all my worries to rest. Thank you, Mr Malik!
Outstanding Care from an Exceptional Spinal Neurosurgeon Mr Malik has gone above and beyond my expectations in terms of the quality of care I have received. As a leading Consultant Spinal Neurosurgeon, he combines exceptional expertise with a genuinely personal approach to patient care. Throughout our consultations, he has always been honest, informative and reassuring, taking the time to explain my options and ensure I fully understood the decisions we were making. I underwent my first basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) procedure in February 2026. Although this made a significant improvement to my condition, it did not quite enable me to return to my normal sporting activities. As a very active 55-year-old, getting back to the lifestyle I enjoy was extremely important to me. During our subsequent consultations, Mr Malik took the time to understand my goals and was genuinely committed to helping me achieve the best possible outcome. We discussed the options available, and it was agreed that I would undergo a second BVNA procedure. Following an initial consultation two weeks after the procedure and a further 90-day monitoring period, we will assess my progress and determine whether any additional intervention is necessary. I have recently undergone my second BVNA procedure, and so far, the outlook is promising. While it is still early days, I feel confident that I am in the best possible hands. What has particularly impressed me about Mr Malik is his personal commitment to his patients. Before my procedure, he came to see me to explain everything in detail once again a...
Read moreAll went very well! Information about the procedure was explained very clearly. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
I cannot recommend Mr Irfan Malik highly enough. Before my surgery, I was in absolute agony due to a sequestered herniated disc at my L5/S1 level. The pain was debilitating, but Mr Malik performed an endoscopic microdiscectomy that completely changed everything. Immediately after the operation, I was able to stand completely straight for the first time in months. The relief was instantaneous. I was safely discharged home the exact same day, and my condition has continued to improve steadily in the two weeks since the procedure. Mr Malik is an absolute miracle worker and an amazing spinal surgeon. His skill, expertise, and care have given me my quality of life back. If you are suffering from spinal issues, you are in the very best hands with him.
Very happy with the outcome even though the recovery time has been longer than I anticipated due largely to the length of time I had been incapacitated prior to surgery.
I saw Mr Malik this afternoon for a follow up after cervical spine surgery in August ,the x ray showed everything is fantastic,Mr Malik is a fantastic surgeon I trust him implicitly,totally explains the procedures and makes you feel relaxed
I cannot recommend Mr Malik highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my surgery and recovery, I felt completely informed, supported and, most importantly, genuinely cared for. As a surgeon, Mr Malik was exceptional. He took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly and clearly, making sure I understood what was happening and why. He answered every question I had, no matter how small, and never once made me feel that I was asking too much. His knowledge and expertise were incredibly reassuring, particularly at a time when I was understandably anxious about undergoing major surgery. What stood out to me just as much as his surgical expertise was the care he showed after my operation. He came to see me personally straight after I returned from recovery, and then came back again two days later to check on me. He even came again on my fourth day in hospital, although unfortunately I had already been discharged and missed him. Knowing that he was personally keeping such a close eye on my recovery meant a great deal to me. My four-day stay in hospital was an exceptional experience, and Mr Malik was a huge part of that. I always felt that I was in safe hands, that I was being listened to, and that my questions and concerns mattered. I am incredibly grateful to Mr Malik for his expertise, kindness, patience and the genuine care he showed me throughout my treatment. Choosing to have surgery is a huge decision, and having a surgeon who inspires that level of trust and confidence makes an enormous difference. Thank you, Mr Malik, for everything you have done for ...
