- I was treated by Mr Malik as an NHS patient having been hospitalised for acute pancreatitis. I had a consultation with him at the Barts Nuffield but he was not able to treat me privately as the Nuffield was closing. So I had my procedure - removal of my gallbladder - by Mr Malik through the NHS. At all times, he was thoughtful, considerate and clear. The surgery has been a complete success and I can't thank him and his team enough for giving me my health back!
