Prof. Ibrahim Malek

Written by a private patient at Spire Yale Hospital

Professor Malek identified my need for a hip replacement by watching me standup & walk with a great deal of pain. He explained the operation so I fully understood the process & outcome. My procedure was carried out on a Friday afternoon, and by the evening I was out of bed & walking with the aid of a frame. I then had two days of physiotherapy, and was discharged on Sunday PM, being able to walk with the aid of crutches. I saw Professor Malek on two occasions; at two weeks and six weeks after the operation, and I have now been discharged. I am now fully mobile without the need for sticks or crutches. The whole process has turned my life around. I can't thank Professor Malek enough.

A very safe pair of hands. Listened and carefully explained the procedure I needed which was a total hip replacement. Came to see me on the ward before the operation and was very reassuring. Following the op he took the time to ring my husband to tell him that it had gone well and that I was in recovery. A lovely personal touch. He came another three times to see me during the two days I was in the Spire. Each time he was caring and positive. The two follow up appointments were business like but I still felt listened to. He inspired confidence in him and in myself. I felt that I was able to do all he suggested to aid my rehabilitation.

I was a very nervous patient and Mr Malek put me completely at ease. He listened to my concerns and reassured me that I was doing the right thing. He has a lovely, calm nature and I felt like he genuinely cared. He checked on me numerous times after the surgery and during recovery reassured me i was doing well and how I was doing and feeling was normal. The team at the Spire were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for me during my stay. When my other hip needs replacing in a few years I will be going straight back to Mr Malek.

I had my left hip replaced on October 10th at Spire Yale, Wrexham. The operation was performed by the wonderful Professor Malek and his fantastic team. I had been full of terror for a while before the operation , and Mr Malek has been amazing with me. Patient, kind, empathic, reassuring. He explained all the procedure and when the big day came, I was admitted into a lovely, clean and quiet room, where I was looked after by the lovely nurses until it was time for my op. Once in the theatre, I was looked after so well by all the surgical team and my operation was successful. Professor Malek is such a truly super skilled surgeon. I stayed in the hospital for a further 3 days and was cared for so well by all the staff, from the nurses to the delicious food delivered to me, to the kind physios and everyone else. Mr. Malek came to see me each day, and his lovely smile reassured me each time! I’m over 2 weeks post op now, and am managing to do all I’m supposed to do, and it’s great to feel no actual arthritic pain anymore, just some post operative pain, which is understandable. Today, I had the big wound dressing removed and it all looked good, clean, dry and healthy. 3 more days and I can remove the new dressing. I will see Professor Malek again in a few weeks time and will start physio in 2 weeks. So I’m moving forward with an optimism that I certainly haven’t had, for varying reasons, during this difficult year. I also want want to single out Professor Malek’s secretary, Anna Gizzi. This lovely lady has made all my process so much easier. Her communication with me, coupled with so much kindness and understanding, and also going the extra mile for me on one occasion, has made the whole process so so much nicer. In fact, Anna was able to visit me whilst I was in the hospital, as she was there that day, so we finally had the chance to meet. It was like meeting a wonderful friend! So, all in all, I am so happy with the procedure I had, and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better team to look after me. I feel so fortunate to have had the ‘A Team’. Thank you, all of you, from the bottom of my heart.

Professor Malek was recommended for hip replacement surgery by a neighbor. From the initial consultation through to the final consultation Professor Malek explained exactly what surgery I needed and why. My only concern was that after surgery my legs would be the same length. Professor Malek reassured me that he was confident he could provide this. Surgery went as expected, my stay in the Spire hospital was great, all the staff were amazing. Post operative care was excellent. I would happily recommend Professor Malek.
