From my first visit to Dr Naqui for my carpal tunnel operation, he was very friendly and explained everything to me very clearly and told me what to expect after it, including the soreness and pain etc. Within weeks I was in for my op and it all went very smoothly. The scar is minimal, very neat work I have to say and on review this week, he explained to me clearly how to improve soreness and tightness I was experiencing, which is normal, and now I know what exercises to do to reduce this completely. The operation was a great success with instant relief from the pins and needles and numbness I had before. Even though I type for my job, I was worried it would come back etc, but I am symptom free. Now for the other hand! Thank you to Dr Naqui

Excellent service by Mr Naqui, Candice and BMI healthcare staff. Following an XRay, Mr Naqui performed wrist arthroscopy and removal ganglion 7 days later. Physiotherapy arranged and recovery progressed really well.

Zaf was great from start to finish! I came to him for a second opinion and I should've done it sooner. I was originally misdiagnosed, and on examination by Zaf it was found that I had a torn UCL, dislocated thumb and badly bruised bone. Really informative with genuine care and time to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend for any hand injuries!

I broke my wrist while on Holiday in France but waited till I came home to go to A&E in Oldham After a successful surgery involving a plate held in position with screws I felt I wanted to see a hand specialist for my after care . In finding Mr Naqui I feel the after care he gave me was critical in my 100% recovery for he gave me such confidence with his knowledge of my condition at my age (71years) how best to treat it along with his excellent hand physiotherapist I can fully recommend Mr Naqui and I can’t thank him enough Mrs Beryl Hall

After breaking my right wrist on holiday I returned in a cast to see Mr Naqui. After an x-ray he changed the heavy old fashioned cast to a sling and a really nice looking cast that was molded on- much more comfortable and modern! Unfortunately the bone was displaced therefore Mr Naqui recommended I have ORIF surgery. This was a very scary thought as I have a busy job and kids etc. He was very thorough and reassuring every step of the way as he prepared me for surgery. He was very caring and visited me pre operation to make sure I was ok and again post operation he was very caring and thorough. He understands the pain associated with the break and the surgery, and 10 weeks on he has supported me back to the gym, work and driving etc. I cant recommend him enough, you walk away knowing he is an expert in his field and you have been very well looked after.
