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.

Francesc was extremely knowledgeable and supportive when I had my appointment to be assessed for the foot issues I was experiencing. He was excellent at explaining things to me in a way I understood and left me feeling reassured and prepared for the next steps of my treatment. Thank you!

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 ;-)

My experience during the entire process – from the first appointment to the postoperative care – was excellent. Mr Malagelada is obviously experienced and professional, but in addition to this, he has great communication skills. and is very attentive and thoughtful. I felt like I was in safe hands, and it was a pleasure to be treated by him.
5
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.
5
Dr Malagelada was very attentive with my ankle injury, listening to my concerns and diagnosing it with great care. I was able to get an appointment with him the same day, as well as an MRI with his referral after two days. 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!
5
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.
