Hands are taken for granted until an accident or old age ailments occur. Thank goodness there is a specialist such as Mr Naqui, he is a caring, empathic person who from the first consultation puts the patient at ease with his professionalism, explaining procedures with a combination of 'real world' terminology (and of course some medical jargon) helping the patient understand exactly what will happen and the outcome. I am extremely grateful to Mr Naqui and his excellent team for a successful operation and wonderful aftercare, I shall wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who needs help. Thankyou to all concerned.

I have had several thumb surgeries with Mr Naqui. He is a professional, caring and thoughtful clinician. He makes a real effort to ensure his patients are managed in a timely manner. I have always had a great result from surgery and healed well, without any complications. I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family.

Mr Naqui and his team are fantastic. Very professional and caring a true gentleman! At the consultation Mr Naqui explained what this problem was and what needed to be done. The surgery was explained in full and an appointment was arranged within a few months. I had struggled for months with a rather large pearl ganglion on my middle finger and was finding it increasingly difficult to carry out everyday tasks like writing or opening jars. The surgery to remove the pearl ganglion from my finger was very quick and painless under local anesthesia. I even got to see the ganglion once removed ( I had asked prior to the surgery) Recovery was relatively painless. It didn't take long for me to be able to use my hand properly again. The follow up appointment was informative too. Thank you again Mr Naqui !
