I initially presented to Mr Naqui in 2022 with a mild case of Dupuytens on ring and little finger on my right hand that was irritating but not impacting me. I had an informative consultation about the likely direction the disease would take but I could wait for now.However over the next 9 months the contracture was increasingly limiting so I rebooked a further consultation and agree a surgical intervention at a time and place that was convenient to me. The surgery itself was carried out swiftly and I was back home in 8 hours. The recovery time supported by the great physio package has meant that after only 5 weeks I am back from full mobility and strength. The scarring is nearly gone and I am utterly delighted with the outcome. Mr Naqui is a true artist and I would encourage anyone with the condition not to leave it and seek advice from the best in the business. As this was self funded I felt the costs of the package was more than reasonable for the excellent outcome.

I originally saw Mr Naqui 6 years ago as I was experiencing numbness in both hands. At the time I was referred for physio and had splints. Fast forward 6 years and my carpel tunnel symptoms had increased. I went back to see Mr Naqui I was very surprised that he actually remembered me from years ago. He looked at my nerve conduction reports carried out by the NHS amd recommended surgery. I had both my left and right hand done and I am now pain free.

I was diagnosed with Dupuytren’s contracture and was referred to Mr Naqui. The little finger was considerably bent inwards and I couldn’t straighten it. When I saw Mr Naqui he carefully explained the option of the surgery and was honest and open about the minor risks as well as saying that he could not accurately predict the success of the procedure. He did however say that the finger was at the right stage to benefit from surgery. The surgery was done in a short timescale and I was put under the care of a physiotherapist in order to address the healing and mobility of the joint. I’m happy to say that 6 weeks on from the operation I have full function and a fully straight finger. I have to continue some minor self care to address the minor scarring but it was definitely worthwhile in my case. I would recommend Mr Naqui as a surgeon, I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Many thanks, Pete

I came to doctor nacqui after the NHS didn’t do anything for my wrist issue, he seemed to suspect almost immediately what the problem was. He was honest and realistic throughout my treatment and I’d highly recommend him as a knowledgable and professional consultant :)

I have seen Mr Naqui several times over the past few years for arthritis in my fingers. He has always listened to my concerns and provided me with a range of options. The latest injection in my finger has really helped and I’m no longer in agonising pain. The great thing is I have an open appointment so can go back, without a referral, if my condition flares up again. Definitely recommended.
