Dr Laraib Malick
Private GP with a Special Interest in Musculoskeletal Medicine
She has worked across a number of practices in the East and West Midlands before moving into private healthcare, which has given her a broad view of how the same complaint presents differently across very different patient populations.
Her clinical interest is musculoskeletal medicine, the assessment and management of joint, muscle, tendon and back problems. In practice this means a painful shoulder or knee is examined properly at the first appointment, with a joint injection, imaging request or physiotherapy referral arranged from that visit rather than after a wait.
Away from the clinic she is interested in interior design, walks in the countryside, and cooking food from around the world.
