I agree with the comments from previous reviews. Mr Nagui is the doctor you dream about.....professionally of course. He has an easy reasuring manner and I had complete confidence in him. I naturally googled him after my first consultation and was very impressed by his committment to his work. His experience is extensive and he is eager to share his knowledge with others at an international level. I had a Dupuytren Fasciectomy (to straighten my bending fingers) and I feel privileged to have had him on my side! After my proceedure his attention to detail was amazing. Everything he said would happen, did happen, i.e. the healing process and physio treatment, and I loved the way he listened to my naive concerns and how he managed to reassure me. All in all a very satisfactory experience. Thank You.

Seamless experience from start to finish. Mr Naqui is a true healthcare professional. Appointment timings were always kept to, I felt that he listened without interrupting and I was involved in the progression of my care. He is extremely reassuring and I immediately felt confident in his expertise. I was able to see him one day and also have my further investigations the same week; very personalised patient care. My surgery for carpel tunnel syndrome was a complete success with relief of symptoms almost instantaneously. I feel I have a life back now as prior to surgery it was such a debilitating condition. The surgery itself was quick with very minimal pain. The wound healed very well. I would happily recommend using Mr Naqui; a superb surgeon with amazing expertise.

I have had several treatments on my hands from Mr Naqui. He has always listened and responded to my concerns. He has always given me a choice of treatments, with likely outcomes of each so I can make an informed choice. The two most recent treatments I have received from Mr Naqui were firstly a left trapeziectomy and FCR sling, and secondly a tendon sheath injection. I have been very pleased with the outcome of both procedures. I have full use of both hands following the treatments.

I wish to express how fantastic my recent operation with Mr Naqui was. From my initial consultation right through to the day of the operation I felt like he totally understood how I was feeling and really listened to my views. I had initially been told my procedure was to be done under general anaesthetic, the procedure I was having was a wrist arthroscopy but due to my job or jobs I am a driving instructor and a martial arts instructor both jobs require me to use my wrist on a daily basis, so we discussed the option of me being awake for this procedure and if I'm honest I was a little worried about being put to sleep. Therefore, I had this done under a block which numbs the arm and wrist. The anaesthetist who performed the block and all Mr Naqui's team treated me exceptionally well and were very patient with me. I am so glad I was able to stay awake for the procedure as well I had the experience of watching what was happening whilst Mr Naqui talked me through it. I was able to see the internal damage which was causing me the pain and how Mr Naqui perfomed the procedure to remove damaged tissue it was quiet amazing to see. I would highly recommend being awake for this operation. The outcome is fantastic I am approximately 3 months on and the dull ache / pain has gone which is amazing. I have full mobility again from the wrist which I can not thank Mr Naqui and his team for enough . Thank you again

I had an initial consultation with Mr Naque to discuss the Dupuytren’s contraction which had caused my right small finger to curl inward. Mr Naque took some time to explain the issue with the finger and the treatment required. On the day of the operation Mr Naqui came to my day room and again explain what would happen in surgery and that the operation would be done as agreed under local anaesthetic. The operation went really well and better than I had hoped, the only slight pain was the injection of the anaesthetic. The whole procedure was over in less than half an hour. Four days after the operation the dressing was replaced and although the finger was swollen the cut was minimal and the stitching was very neat. A week later the stitches were removed and new dressing applied. Over the next couple of months I attended the physiotherapy unit at Spires which was really beneficial in improving the healing process. The whole experience from start to finish was exceptionally good from the diagnosis , the operation and the physiotherapy. The result now is that there is no contraction in my finger and no noticeable scarring.
