I was referred to The Woodland Hospital under the care of Dr Malik's pain clinic for help with the chronic pain I suffer from Fibromyalgia. Dr Malik has been extremely professional in all aspects of his care, especially in taking time to fully explain any procedure and making you feel at ease on the admission day. I would definitely recommend Dr Malik's pain clinic.

Dr Malik took his time listening to my history and reviewing my scans. He also paid a lot of attention to what I was feeling and how my pain was affecting my day to day activities. He then proposed a treatment plan which I felt included in. I have had injections and Radiofrequency treatments and every time he took his time explaining the procedure and what I should do post op. I am feeling a lot better now and if I need any further treatment I would definitely use Dr Malik

Written by a patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital

After the closure of pain medication and the excellent services of Dr Lourdes Gaspar I elected to transfer to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and researched Dr Malik. My first meeting with him was on time and I felt totally unrushed. He checked the holistic issues not just open symptom or pain location. He listened to the background and created a plan going forward which included scans to look at key areas, discussions with surgeons from other specialist areas, MRI scan and a series of diagnosis then treatment in specific areas. His professionalism, bedside manner, understanding and care was very high. Sadly the administration behind the appointments and carrying out his requests has been less than satisfactory and has left Dr Malik, Ward staff and myself vulnerable to mistakes and failure to carry out his plan of treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend and have confidence in Dr Malik skill, experience and knowledge in the area of pain management. He is though, let down by administrative, appointment setting and plan following staff at the QE Birmingham.
