First Visit Guide

Mr. Malik strives to provide you with the best care possible. Your first visit is an important step towards understanding your health needs and developing a personalised treatment plan. Here's what you need to know for your first appointment:

  • How do I book an appointment with Mr Malik?
    You can schedule an appointment by contacting Mr Malik’s secretary via phone or email. Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions—we’re happy to assist.
  • Do I need a referral letter?
    While a referral isn’t always mandatory, it’s often required if you’re using private insurance. Check with your insurer or contact the secretary for guidance.
  • Should I book a new or follow-up appointment?
    New appointments are for first-time consultations or new symptoms. Follow-up appointments are for ongoing care, such as post-surgery check-ups or review of investigations.
  • How much does an appointment cost?
    The consultation fee depends on whether it’s an initial or follow-up visit. Our team will provide a full breakdown when you book.
  • Will my insurance cover the cost?
    To confirm coverage, we recommend contacting your insurer and sharing your policy details with our team. We can also assist in verifying pre-authorisation requirements.
