Mr Malhi performed a total hip replacement on my right hip. Polite and quietly spoken - without ever being condescending - Mr Malhi ensured I was fully engaged in decision-making and confident at every stage of the proceedings. During the pre-operative consultation Mr Malhi listened to my questions, discussed my concerns and explained clearly the procedure he would undertake and materials he would use. Consequently, I entered the operating theatre calmly. The operation went smoothly, with the wound healing well. I immediately felt the difference. I was no longer in acute pain. I was able to stand upright and use crutches from the day after the operation. At the post-operative consultation Mr Malhi gave positive feedback that my recovery was on track which I found extremely reassuring moving forward.
I can fully recommend Mr Malhi for his orthopaedic expertise and his consideration of me, the patient.
Mr Malfi gave fantastic care. He was extremely professional, kind, considerate and caring. My hip replacement has been very successful and I feel like a new person. The surgery and aftercare was a very good experience.
I am 74. I had two hip replacements, in January 2020 and June 2021, both by Mr Malhi, and both with excellent results. He is obviously a very good surgeon, and was always happy to discuss details or problems. The only comment I would make does not relate to Mr Malhi. The patient experience at Guy's was very much better than that at Blackheath Hospital, where I had the second operation. Being in a busy NHS ward, with others to talk to and a constant to and fro of carers, was so much preferable to being in a private room, having to ring for attention and with no-one to talk to. For example: when my urine bottle was full I rang for help, but it took ten minutes, by which time it was too late! I was asked to return the crutches I had paid for, as I had said I already had an NHS pair; I had to wait two hours, with no explanation, for the senior nurse to come and discharge me; and no-one enquired as to how I could arrange transport to get home. Nothing like that happened at Guy's, where the care was first-rate in every respect.
Mr Malhi did an excellent job on my broken ankle/fibula. He inserted a plate and seven screws then removed them, on my request, 12 months later. I saw Mr Malhi originally at St Thomas' A&E as a NHS patient and then 12 months later at Blackheath as a private patient. The break is very well set and the scar is healing well. He is personable and happy to explain any detail. Overall I am very satisfied with the results.
I have an odd problem relating to my arthritic knee. Mr Malhi and I had detailed discussions about the options and I felt he understood me well. Having tried other options I decided to have a total knee replacement at Blackheath Hospital. As always Mr Mahli looked after me well when in hospital and also on the follow up to date. I am very pleased that I chose him as my consultant.
Also Mr Mahli's PA Lauren is really helpful and that means making arrangements to see him etc are very smooth.
