Reviews
I had an excellent experience with Dr Naqui and his team. he listened to my issues at my first consultation and quickly established a diagnosis. I am now 6 weeks post operative and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you to Dr Naqui and his team.
Very pleasant gentleman who takes the time to listen and explain what your problem is and the best course of action to resolve it.
I have recently undergone carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand. From the initial consultation to a final post op check, everything went extremely smoothly and I am pleased with the results. Mr Naqui discussed my symptoms, assessed the likely cause, and suggested further nerve tests to confirm carpal tunnel syndrome. My surgery was then scheduled. Mr Naqui fully and clearly explained the procedure, the potential risks, the recovery times involved and answered all my questions clearly. The operation went smoothly and his nursing staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui to anyone. Thank you and your team.
I had the pleasure of being treated by Mr. Zaf Naqui for a ganglion cyst in my wrist near the tendons. From the outset, his professionalism and excellent communication stood out. He took the time to explain my condition in clear and thorough detail, showing and interpreting imaging to ensure I fully understood the situation and treatment options.
Rather than immediately opting for surgery, he recommended seeing a professor for an ultrasonic steroid injection, which turned out to be the perfect solution. The procedure was minor, effective, and completely pain-free, with no issues since. His approach demonstrated both expertise and a commitment to providing the best possible care for his patients.
Overall, I highly recommend Mr. Naqui for his knowledge, patient-focused care, and ability to make informed, practical treatment recommendations. My experience was excellent, and I appreciate the high standard of care I received.
Mr Naqui,
Is an amazing surgeon, he has operated on both my wrist carpal tunnel with amazing results. This month I had my elbow carpal tunnel done, again with fabulous results.
He is such a lovely man, personally and professionally.
I would highly recommend Mr Naqui.
