- I highly recommend Mr. Mallina. My ulnar nerve compression symptoms progressed from acute to severe in only 3 months, leading to loss of grip and sensation. Mr. Mallina performed the surgery, finding a second muscle causing the compression at the cubital tunnel. My recovery has been remarkable; at my follow-up, my grip strength and sensation exceeded expectations. He is a reassuring surgeon who explains the 'why' behind symptoms, put you at ease throughout & checks in before and after surgery.
- Mr Mallina recommended a wrist denervation as a better option for me than the wrist fusion that the NHS was due to undertake. I am so glad I accepted his advice. It was a much less invasive procedure with a quicker recovery time. Less than 2 months on from the surgery, I have recovered the use of my wrist and I am almost pain-free. I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Mr Mallina and Shirley Oaks Hospital.
- We visited London and our son needed to get his cast removed due to a fracture. Dr Ravi was excellent, he gave us a clear explanation and lots of details of the issues and treatment. The facilities were excellent and the service was prompt. Excellent service 👍
- Mr Mallina has been excellent throughout the whole procedure of my scaphoid break, he assisted me through the whole procedure excellent and making sure I get put first no matter the circumstances, he completed a successful surgery and has left an excellent looking, clean scar, I cannot recommend him enough, he is extremely knowledgeable and has my full trust.
- I was very luck that Mr Mallina happened to be at the Cromwell Urgent Care when I came in after falling and breaking my wrist - he took wonderful care and stayed through followup Xrays - I was quite impressed and very comforted.
- I recently saw Mr. Ravi Mallina for thumb arthritis and cannot recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly professional, kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I left the consultation feeling very reassured and confident in the treatment plan. A truly excellent experience.
- Dr Malina's care was professional and caring. He made me feel reassured with the treatment plan I was offered. Everything ended up well. I would definitely recommend.
- Excellent care from start to finish. Mr Mallina provided clear explanations about the procedure and recovery, which helped set realistic expectations. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been very positive, with near full shoulder movement already regained by 6 weeks. The wound has healed neatly, and follow-up care has been thorough and reassuring. He is professional, approachable, and inspires confidence throughout. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing orthopaedic care.
