Due to house move to another part of the country, unable to follow on the recommended surgery for arthritic bunion. Great shame as I felt that Mr. Malik would have performed the necessary surgery very successfully. Had injections to 1st MTP, 2nd and 3rd TMT joints carried out 1 August 2014 which gave temporary relief.

Answer from us

Thank you and all the best with the house move.

Recommended non-invasive treatment

Recommend a companion on visits

Your recommendations

Mr Malik recommended non-invasive treatment for my cuboid avascular necrosis. The treatment was 100% successful and avoided the need for surgery. Mr Malik's friendly style and clearly expert knowledge saw me through a worrying time. I do suggest taking a companion on visits - especially the first - as there is a lot of information to take in about the conditions and treatments, not to mention having to learn how to walk on crutches with an Aircast boot and then drive home!

Answer from us

Thank you for the feedback. Delighted that you are better and pain free. I agree entirely, a second pair of eyes and ears is invaluable during any consultation with a doctor for the reasons you mention. On my website, under patient information, I have suggested that patients bring someone along with them. I will revise the website to make this more visible. Many thanks once again for your valuable feedback.

Do exactly what Mr Malik recommends! In my case, by patiently sitting out the post-surgery weeks and not rushing my foot back to recovery, I was rewarded with a fully healed bone 6 weeks after the operation.

Answer from us

Well done, you have been a model patient.

I'm immensely grateful to Mr Malik for his treatment of my ATFL injury. His explanations of the injury and treatment course were clear and helpful, and he was very sensitive to my distress at being unable to dance for a couple of months.

Answer from us

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you have got back to doing what you love.
