About

Mr Irfan Malik is a highly skilled consultant neurosurgeon who specialises in spinal neurosurgery.

He is skilled in the use of minimally invasive techniques for surgical procedures such as disc replacement and the treatment of neck, back, and arm pain, as well as sciatica. Furthermore, he has performed more endoscopic spinal procedures than any other UK spine surgeon.

He trained in neurosurgery in Pakistan and undertook advanced training in the United Kingdom at The Royal Hallamshire Hospital and The University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire. Following this, he received his FRCS(SN) and completed fellowships in Complex Spine and Epilepsy surgery at the University Hospital Coventry and King's College Hospital, London.

Mr Malik has research interests in the diagnosis and management of a wide spectrum of spine problems, from degenerative disease to traumatic and malignant spinal disorders. He approaches the issues from both a surgical and non-surgical point of view.

In addition to his clinical practice, he also teaches other surgeons how to perform the procedure. Mr Malik also treats epilepsy in his private practice.

Explanation

Mr Malik performed a Lumbar Decompression and Spinal Fusion operation about three weeks ago. Before the operation I could not walk for more than half a mile before suffering numbness in my feet and lower legs, necessitating an immediate stop and rest. The operation was a complete success. Sensitivity to my feet and legs returned immediately after the procedure. I can now walk for several miles without any sign of numbness or discomfort. I am now building up my strength before physiotherapy begins in two weeks' time. Throughout the whole process, pre- and post-operation, I found Mr Malik very willing to discuss the treatment and to answer the many questions which arose. He is very understanding and courteous, and I would commend him to anyone facing the same or similar operation.

I had my disk surgery with Dr. Irfan Mallik. From day 1 he knew what I was dealing with. Instead of straight surgery he tried all the option to avoid it. He took all the effort to provide me quick access to all the help I needed. The best part is he remembered how I was walking on the first day and how I easily walking after the surgery. I really appreciate and highly recommend Dr. Irfan Malik.

I had an online consultation with Mr Malik for my daughter's MRI findings of a pituitary microadenoma. He listened to me attentively and was very reassuring. He told me that no surgical intervention is required and she only needs medicines to take care of this. I found him to be very kind and compassionate. Highly recommend Mr Malik as a professional and great human being!

He is absolutely brilliant in what he does. He got rid of the pain that I had been suffering from for 14 months. It took only about 2 months from our first appointment to the day of surgery.
