Mr Zaf Naqui 2018-09-25 Person 5 5 0

I first saw Dr Naqui when I was in severe pain in both my thumb, which I couldn’t move, and in my arm. After X-rays and listening carefully to me he said I had two problems, tendonitis in my arm and arthritis in my thumb.He said he could relieve the pain in my arm with an injection which he did immediately and recommended another injection into my thumb under X-ray. I had relief from my arm pain but not from the thumb so he then recommended operating on my thumb to remove the arthritic bone and replace it with a piece of tendon. Sounded drastic to me but his clear explanation of the operation inspired my confidence in him so I went ahead - especially as I was not having to endure an anaesthetic. During the operation he informed me of every step he was taking and reassured me that we had made the right decision. His manner was so caring. It is now three months later and my thumb is fully functional with no pain, the hand physio certainly helped as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Naqui and when my other thumb gives up I’ll be back to see him again.
