Explanation

Mr Malagelada performed successful keyhole surgery to remove a bone spur on my ankle. He has been extremely helpful, providing clear explanations of the process and aftercare, with regular follow ups. He recommended an excellent physio and has co-ordinated a specialist medical team to investigate and address wider, unrelated symptoms.

Great Doctor! I had a thorough and informative consultation, the MRI result came back with ligament tears and cartilage damage, therefore, he suggested physiotherapy. It’s still early days but I am trusting his treatment plan ;-)

Kind, patient, friendly and professional. I felt that Mr Malagelada took the time to understand my concerns and prescribe a suitable course of action, whereas I nearly always feel “rushed” or even dismissed when going to see other specialists. I would highly recommend.

Dr Malagelada was very attentive with my ankle injury, listening to my concerns and diagnosing it with great care.

He also made sure to follow up with results and a clear treatment plan within the same week. Highly recommend for his great care and personal approach to dealing with patients!

Explanation

Mr Malagelada was very welcoming and is able to clearly describe the treatment required. Whilst I am not too nervous a patient his manner is such that you feel very comfortable whilst he describes the treatment. This extends in to the day of the surgery and together with his colleagues makes the whole process very calm for the patient resulting in a successful outcome I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Malageada.

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. He takes time to explain the condition to patients and is a fantastic team member. He is always amenable to having a detailed discussion, particularly about complex patients and it is this collaborative approach that I value most when considering who I refer my patients to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Malagelada to my patients for any foot and ankle issue.
