Mr Zaf Naqui

Written by a private patient at The Alexandra Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

I saw Mr Naqui twice regarding my broken wrist, the sessions were extremely relaxed and professional. He knew how to treat my condition and I was soon on my way to a full recovery within a few days. I would recommend Mr Naqui to anyone young or old.

I definitely would recommend Dr Naqui. At the first consultation he perfectly described the problem and how he was going to address it… On the day of the operation Dr Naqui and hit team were first class. The operation on my wrist was brilliant and is now perfect The follow up appointment and check up was on again on point.

I had my carpel tunnel release surgery done. He has been very professional and efficient surgeon. Easy to access and get appointments as per need. Very clean surgery and good recovery. He listened to my concerns and try to resolve them as possible. A line about his secretary: very approachable and helpful person. Always proactive in listening and trying to resolve.

Re Bilateral Touch Arthroscopy (Thumb replacement) Mr Naqui was fantastic from the moment I met him, very approachable and informative He put me at ease with his lovely manner and knowledge. When he looked at my x-ray's he said it was no wonder I was in so much pain, as my joints had worn away. I was relieved as you feel that people think you are exaggerating how much pain you are in. I can honestly say it was one of the worse pain I have ever felt. Sometimes the pain was like electric shocks shooting up my thumb and into my arm other times it was like really bad pins & needles, but there was always a continual ache. After suffering with Osteoarthritis for about 4 years, that was gradually getting worse, I had no grip and was finding everyday chores difficult, no strength and had difficulty with work due to pain and discomfort. I was constantly taking pain relief medication the strongest I could get. I was then referred to Mr Naqui and he suggested I had both thumb joints replaced, he explained the procedure in full and I was nervous but also excited to hopefully get rid of this pain. I had my first joint replacement at the Spire Manchester in June 2023 and and the procedure was carried out in the morning and when I returned to my room I had a little bit of pain following the surgery but can honestly say that the arthritic pain had gone, I couldn't believe it after so long in continual pain it felt like a miracle (to me). I was discharged with pain relief but found I didn't really need it. When I saw Mr Naqui post op I couldn't wait for my second thumb to be done, we agreed we would give it a few months, but it felt so good I kept on and he eventually agreed to do my 2nd operation at the end of September, and I wasn't disappointed once again I was arthritic pain free within hours. I even stopped a lady in the Trafford centre who had splints on both her thumbs and I asked if was arthritis, she said it was and I gave her Mr Naqui's details and told her it was the best thing I ever had done. Following my operations I saw Sarah Keogh who provided my physiotherapy and she was very knowledgeable and dealt mostly with hand patients she gave me loads of advise on how to strengthen my thumbs and different exercises I could do at home, I was discharged by Sarah 6 weeks following each operation and never looked back. Donna Clark Mr Naqui's secretary was lovely always answered any question I had and if she was unavailable when I called she would always return my call, she always put my mind at rest and I appreciated her friendly manner. I think this procedure should be more available as until, I went to see Mr Naqui I had never heard that thumb joint replacement was a option.

I have been a part-time entertainer for 59 years. I play mostly guitar and keyboards. I had problems with my index finger, right hand. I was referred to a surgeon who recommended Carpal Tunnel Surgery that should, he said, cure my problem. I was very wary of being subjected to hand surgery as my musical activities are an enormously important part of my life and I was not about to have surgery without being convinced that this would cure my medical problem without affecting my musical activities. I went ahead with the surgery. Six weeks later my pain was worse and I was referred to Mr Zafar Naqui. On my first consultation, Mr Naqui told me that for 30 years (I think it was 30), he had only dealt with health problems that occurred between fingertips and elbow. I felt relieved by this statement from Mr Naqui and immediately felt both at ease and confident in his ability to cure my hand problem. I went on to have surgery and quite intensive physiotherapy treatment. The physiotherapy treatment, provided by Ms Sarah Keogh, was also of the highest standard following both operations. The surgery and after-care completely cured my hand problem and when I experienced the same problem with my left hand some time later, I had no concerns about having the same treatment, by the same surgeon (and physiotherapist), on my other hand. I have recently had surgery on my left hand and am back playing instruments at the same standard as before surgery. Thank you to Mr Naqui and his team.
