Reviews
My hip replacement was my first ever surgical experience and only my second ever hospitalisation. Mr Malik treated me with empathy and compassion, while being sensitive, thorough and articulate in his presentation of all aspects of my options. He treats his patients as equals and is utterly professional and natural.My procedure was impeccable and my recuperation and exercising is trouble free. I would thoroughly recommend him and to be so personable as he is, was a joy to experience. He is also an exemplary far seeing individual in my experience who is, I read, passionate in bringing on the skills of others and that comes as no surprise. His example extends to his entire team who share his ethos and that is very evident.
Mr Malik is calm, professional and kind. He went to great length to ensure I understood all my options, explained the procedure, the potential outcomes (there are no guarantees with surgery) and was very reassuring. Mr Malik transformed my twisted leg with my foot at 90 degrees to a "normal" straight leg and forward facing foot. His team were caring and supportive, I couldn't have asked for better care.
Excellent treatment and aftercare
What can I say about Dr Khalid Malik that hasn't been said already? I had my second total knee replacement on the 16th September 2024, lucky for me it was carried out by Dr Malik, again he talked me through what would happen in the operation, asked whether I had any questions about the operation, fears and his opinion how he saw the outcome going. After having the first operation I had know worries about the outcome as this surgeon is outstanding in his field. Friends who have had the same operation their by different surgeons always told me that the second operation would be worse than the first! More painful, longer to recover etc... I can honestly say that has not been the case for me, my recovery was quicker, pain was almost not there, I was even able to bend my knee by 90 degrees the day after my operation! in fact I was able to use the crutches the evening of my operation without any difficulty, that was down to Dr Malik's skills and his excellent team. I cannot thank him enough, he is simply the Best.
When I met Mr. Malik for our first consultancy session he immediately made me feel at ease and his enthusiasm that he could help shone through.
Having had previous knee surgery in 2002 (Post a motorbike accident) I was unsure if further surgery was possible. He explained all the options thoroughly and having viewed a CT scan agreed to perform total knee replacement surgery.
The procedure was explained to me in great detail and with the support of his team the surgery went completely to plan. Mr.Malik even came to check on me at 9pm in the evening post operation.
All the pre and post op care has been of the highest standard and I cannot recommend Mr.Malik more highly.
