I have carpul tunnel in both wrists due to working in construction for 20 years, I went along for a conceltation with Mr Naqui and he reasured me he could possibly help me out threw carpul tunnel surgery. I've had my right wrist operated on and it's completely different all pain/ numbness and aches have been reduced 100 % .Just in the middle of arranging to get my left wrist done due to the pain I'm in at the moment with that wrist. I would 100% recommend anyone with similar symtens to get in contact with Mr Naqui team for a conceltation and 100% recommend Mr Naqui as he did a brilliant job on my right wrist.

I first saw Dr Naqui when I was in severe pain in both my thumb, which I couldn’t move, and in my arm. After X-rays and listening carefully to me he said I had two problems, tendonitis in my arm and arthritis in my thumb.He said he could relieve the pain in my arm with an injection which he did immediately and recommended another injection into my thumb under X-ray. I had relief from my arm pain but not from the thumb so he then recommended operating on my thumb to remove the arthritic bone and replace it with a piece of tendon. Sounded drastic to me but his clear explanation of the operation inspired my confidence in him so I went ahead - especially as I was not having to endure an anaesthetic. During the operation he informed me of every step he was taking and reassured me that we had made the right decision. His manner was so caring. It is now three months later and my thumb is fully functional with no pain, the hand physio certainly helped as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Naqui and when my other thumb gives up I’ll be back to see him again.
