Last year I had hand surgery and Mr Naqui and the nurses at the hospital kept me informed of everything that was going to happen. I was treated with dignity and respect, Mr Naqui and his team made me feel safe and I was very well looked after. The outcome from the surgery I had was amazing, the recovery time was about 6 weeks as I have a manual job. The scar healed really well and is hardly visible, I had several sessions of physiotherapy which really helped me prepare to go back to work. Mr Naqui is an amazing surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone, he is really caring and really listens to you and your concerns.

The treatment went exceptionally well and I am very pleased with the outcome. Mr Naqui is a very polite gentleman and his care for me was extremely good. The pain I had, which was quite severe, has completely gone and I am more than pleased with the treatment I received.

I have been struggling with hand pain and numbness and tingling for several months and i was not sure what could be the cause of this. I asked my GP to refer me and i was seen by Dr Naqvi in clinic. His appraoch to dealing with the presenting complaint at hand and his explanation of the cause of the problem was very well done. He explained the reason for my symtpoms and offered me surgery to help with my condition, namely carpal tunnel syndrome. The date for the surgery came through the post very fast and i had the surgery done within 10 mins of attending my appointment. It was a quick procedure and i was looked after by him and his staff very well. I have fully recovered from the symtpoms and my would has fully healed. There were no complications. He is an excellent doctor with a great passion to help others and goes out lf his way to make the care of patiemts his first priority. He has since followed me up in clinic to make sure i have been doing well. I would highly recommend him for those that may have hand, wrist or elbow conditions and want the best outcome or even just for advice.

I injured my little finger in a taxi door, I completely broke the nail in half straight across the middle and you could see to the nail bed below. I contacted Spire Manchester Hospital who arranged for me to be seen by Mr Naqui that day. I had an x-ray of the little finger and then met Mr Naqui. The service was superb, he gave me a local anaesthetic, remove the nail, stitched the nail bed, dressed the finger and gave me antibiotics. This was all completed in outpatients in under an hour.................. wow. It was a great service and I am a very grateful patient. The outpatient nurses then dressed the finger each week until it all healed well. I now have a new nail and my finger looks great, all back to normal. I can’t thank Mr Naqui and the OPD team at Spire Manchester enough for their prompt service and great care. I would highly recommend this consultant and his team.
