Reviews
My initial contact with Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Mr Khalid Malik was at the DGH Eastbourne on 3rd August 2023, after being referred by my GP for a possible total right hip replacement operation.
At the time, I was in immense pain and limping due to the wear and tear on my right hip.
Mr Malik was very professional in his approach and I felt very confident of his obvious surgical skills and abilities as we discussed the details of me having a total right hip replacement operation.
I was very pleasantly shocked when I enquired what the lead-in time would be for the operation, half expecting to have to wait for a year or so.
Mr Malik informed me that he could do the operation within two to four weeks as he had only just taken up a post at the hospital and he hadn't yet got a full diary!
He was as good as his word and I had the operation on Monday 4th September 2023 at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings.
The level of care I received at the Conquest hospital was simply amazing, well beyond any words.
Although I had some discomfort after the operation, the amazing staff and nurses had me up and walking around the day after the operation. I was discharged on Wednesday 6th September.
I have since made a good recovery, and 8 weeks on from the operation am getting around without any walking aids and I'm slowly building back my physical stamia levels.
I recently had a follow up review at the Conquest hospital where I got to meet Mr Malik again and to personally shake his hand, thanking him for the wonderful job he did on replacing my rather battered right hip.
Mr Malik, I simply cannot thank you enough for the professionalism and care I received from not only yourself, but from all staff at the Conquest and DGH hospitals during and after my recent operation.
Long live the NHS.
Thank you.
Very best regards,
John Fox.
Dr Malik saw me on 16th October in A&E.
After explaining my symptoms of numbness in my
Left leg he asked for my health history. After gathering all this information, he told me was concerned and that he needed to do various tests.
He did various physical tests on my leg by which he gathered there was something that needed addressing. He also asked a nurse to do a test.
Throughout the examination I felt comfortable as he explained why he was doing the tests. He also gave me time to ask questions and throughout my time in A&E I did not feel uncomfortable.
I was admitted by him for an MRI.
The MRI results came back and I was moved to St Georges hospital
For surgery. The surgery was done on 18th October.
I feel blessed that Dr malik used his knowledge in the field and I am relieved of my numbness and recovering well.
I want to wish Dr malik all the best in his career and may he save alot more patients with his knowledge.
