Reviews
I had my first total hip replacement at a relatively young age, at the Conquest under the care of Mr. Khalid Malik at the end of October 2023. He talked me through the procedure and answered any questions i had. I was admitted and settled in. I didn't have to wait long before going down for the operation. Once awake (after a spinal and sedation) i realised the arthritic pain had disappeared almost straight away and just left me with the healing discomfort. I was on my feet really quickly afterwards and by 6 weeks was walking unaided. It made such a difference to my daily life. So you can imagine how thrilled i was getting an appointment at 2 weeks notice for my other THR in June 2024 only 7 months after the first. This time it was at Sussex Premier Health. Again the care was fantastic from both Mr. Malik and the team. This time i felt so good afterwards that i was in work meetings via Teams from my hospital room. Within 2 weeks i was walking totally unaided and at 4 back at work and driving.
Cheesy as it sounds, and this is what i told Mr. Malik today at my final appointment, this has been truly life changing. To do things and then suddenly stop and think 'wow i couldn't do this before' i have absolutely no pain and my range of movement is back to what it was before i was diagnosed.
In the best possible way, i hope to not have to meet Mr. Malik again as he did the most outstanding job, however...... if i ever need new knees he will most definitely be the surgeon i would choose.
Warm and friendly and explained the process very well. Nothing was too much trouble. I felt very confident going into the operation.
On the 9th April, 2024, I had a total knee replacement at the Nuffield Hospital in Woking, my Surgeon was Mr Khalid Malik. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Malik. On the occasions pre surgery and post surgery when I saw Mr Malik he was very reassuring, leaving me in no doubt about procedures and what I should expect. He answered all my questions with patience and at no time did I feel that he was in a rush.
As for my new knee - it is amazing, I had very little pain and at nine weeks I can move freely without the support of crutches, my leg is straight and at my last physio session I could bend it to a degree of 120% - my physiotherapist has been very impressed with the amount of movement in the joint.
I can only say thank you Mr. Malik. Having anticipated a lengthy, painful few months I have had just the opposite and am now able to look forward to a pain free summer.

He explained everything carefully and very professionally but in a very human way and both the operation and my recovery has been first class. Thank you so much
I have had a very positive experience at the hands of Mr Malik. From the first examination where he listened to me and explained the process, through the operation and the after care. He has been easy to talk to, to communicate with, and the proof of his professional abilities lies in how well I have recovered from the operation.
