I cannot recommend Mr Malagelada highly enough. From the initial consultation through to surgery and recovery, his care and professionalism were exceptional. I underwent bunion surgery with an excellent outcome — the correction is outstanding, recovery was smooth, and the final result exceeded my expectations both functionally and aesthetically. My foot is now pain-free and feels completely transformed. Mr Malagelada is highly skilled, calm and reassuring, and took great care to explain every step of the process. I am extremely grateful and would recommend him without hesitation.

Mu experience was fantastic from start to finish. A knowledgeable doctor, clear explanations, excellent outcomes. I always felt listenef to and got offered the best care. Back to running after a keyhole bunion surgery and I can't thank Dr Malagelada enough

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
