Prof. Ibrahim Malek

Written by a patient at The Grosvenor Nuffield Hospital

I had been having hip pain for approximately 5 years, before deciding I had put up with the pain long enough. I contacted my insurance company who gave me a list of 5 consultants. I reviewed each one on the internet and decided to select Mr Malek, so people thought this was a peculiar way to select somebody who would be 'cutting into me'. Following my first meeting with Mr Malek I decided to go ahead with the operation and I don't regret one moment of my decision. My hip replacement operation took place at the Nuffield on 8th November 2018. When I came round from the operation the only pain I was in was from the actual wound. I was up and walking the next morning and haven't looked back. 5 weeks after the operation I was driving again and occasionally use a stick to help me walk but most of the time I walk unaided. If I had to have my left hip replaced or a knee replacement, I would be contacting Mr Malek again. Thank you for the care you took before, during and after the procedure.

I am a 28 year old female who has suffered with a hip problem for over 10 years. For the past 9 years all my problems fell on deaf ears causing extreme pain,virtually no quality of life and on the verge of depression. All of this vanished the day I met Mr.Malek. From my first consultation with him he has provided me with the best care I could have wished for. I needed a complete reconstruction of my left hip and due to my age and weight all the previous doctors (in which I include my G.P) I had seen were reluctant to move forward in rectifying my problem. Mr Malek was the exception to the rule. He genuinely listened to me and the way I was feeling and agreed to operate on me. On December 4th 2018 I went into the Nuffield in Chester whereby he performed the surgery which I must add has been a resounding success. Throughout this time he has continually given me the best before,during and after care I could possibly wish for and for this I am extremely grateful. I would not hesitate in recommending this surgeon to anybody irrespective of age,weight or gender.His bedside manner is wonderful, he puts you at complete ease which in my case was no mean feat. Words cannot describe what this man has done for me as I am at last pain free and for that to me he is priceless. On another note the team he has around him are also wonderful people and I would like a special mention to his secretary Anna Gizzi as she was my first contact who showed me so much compassion. Thank you once again Mr. Malek.

Mr Malek carried out a total hip replacement, left side. The pre op assessment was thorough, so much so that it was found that I had a slow irregular heart beat, and was fitted with a pacemaker within two weeks, then was able to undergo hip surgery. The operation was carried out under local ( spinal ) anaesthetic, an interesting experience, with no discomfort at all. I was able to move about on crutches almost immediately, and was discharged after a two night stay. Recovery was rapid, I was driving after three weeks, and able to walk unaided after about four-five weeks. Now at seven weeks, I am walking one -two miles regularly. The scar has healed and is barely visible. X rays show a perfectly aligned replacement. Previous arthritic pain and difficulty in moving no longer a problem. Strength is improving with time and I anticipate a full recovery. I would definitely recommend Mr Malek for his skill and care.

My hip replacement has been a great success and after two weeks I was able to walk unaided. Mr.Malek inspires confidence before surgery and his post operative attention was excellent. He is a most charming person to deal with and I add my recommendation without reservation.

Mr malek is a very professional surgeon, who goes above and beyond his duty to make sure that your surgery is successful. He gives you full support pre and post surgery making you feel at ease, I have white coat syndrome, but being amongst mr malek and his team didn’t seem to increase any symptoms! Sam the blood doctor, kept my fear of needles to a minimum also! Big shout also to the after care team, caterers and cleaners also at spire, what a credit! Anyone who is having future surgery with this brilliant man no need worry. Thanks for all your support, see you in 2019!
