I have recently had surgery under Mr Naqui as I was suffering with trigger finger and thumb. The condition became debilitating and it was making my working day unbearable. He was professional, friendly and reassuring. I felt relaxed and confident in his expertise during the procedure. I would highly recommend him and his team.

I recently visited Dr Naqui suffering with uncomfortable ganglion cysts in both of my wrists. After treatment both cysts disappeared and I no long have any pain or discomfort. Dr Naqui has a friendly and professional manor and made me feel relaxed and confident during the procedure. I will definitely go and see Dr Naqui again if I ever need to in the future.

I thought my Dupuytrens condition was inoperable but was reassured by Dr Naqui that it could be rectified. My right little finger was curling inwards and becoming a bit of an impediment to my daily life. From the initial consultation I felt that I was being looked after by confident and capable professionals with expertise in their particular field. The operation was a success and post operatively the care I received couldn’t have been bettered as Lindsey was a brilliant physio. I have a straightened digit and can now reach the brake of my motorcycle without a struggle amongst other things. I have been thoroughly satisfied with my treatment from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend Mr Naqui as I’ve just had a knuckle Implant and having suffered excruciating Arthritic pain and now my joint on my hand is pain free he has a very friendly and pleasant manor which is comforting . Candice his secretary couldn’t have been more helpful and Esther the hand therapist helped me gain more movement when using my hand, also more than likely I will need another knuckle implant soon .

Mr Naqui, has operated on my hands 4 times over the last 3 years, each time we meet his communication and general manner is excellent. On the day of each surgery despite a busy list, he always makes time to spend a few minutes reaffirming what the procedure is to be. I have had 9 of these operations over 15 years, but it is still good to speak with the surgeon who will be operating on my hands. Postoperative, the team is great and the final consultation is always with Mr. Naqui. No doubt I will need further surgery in the future and I will not hesitate to return to see Mr Naqui.
