- Went to Mr M after the recommendation of my physio. Courteous and very capable, sorted my long time ankle issue after keyhole surgery, quick recovery, great aftercare, faultless secretarial support. Always felt in good hands and I can't thank him enough
- Seeing Mr M was the best thing I did to fix my ankle. I had an old injury that limited my sports practice despite having tried physiotherapy for months. He quickly diagnosed the problem and explained the options. After keyhole surgery I'm back to running
- After the fantastic results exceeded my expectations from the operation fixing both feet in the same procedure, my activity is significantly improving. As a doctor my self I can not praise Dr Malagelada enough for his proficiency, competency and support.
- Mr Malagelada is a very knowledgeable professional, always kind and reassuring and also very attentive and keen to find the root cause of symptoms. My experience was great and I couldn’t reccomend him enough.
- A top professional. Very informative and knowledgeable, I felt in really good hands. I have been around with different orthopaedic specialists and he is one of the best in the field. My experience couldn’t have been better, I couldn’t recommend him enough
- Mr Malagelada was super helpful and was great at conveying my options. A good, friendly, communicator.
- Mr Malagelada has been brilliant throughout my surgery and recovery from a fractured ankle. He explained everything clearly and performed a fantastic surgery - back to cycling painfree. I always felt in safe hands and I will always be thankful.
- Mr Malagelada is absolutely fantastic, an amazing doctor but also takes the time to get explain everything, incredibly friendly and reassuring. Expert in his field, would highly recommend him to anyone.
- Fantastic medical professional and team. I was able to get back to walking (carefully!) within 6 weeks following a fractured metatarsal. Mr Malagelada took time to explain everything and answer all my questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.
