I was diagnosed by Mr Naqui with manifelt syndrome in the thumb of my left hand. This made everyday tasks almost impossible and an operation was performed to reconstruct the tendon from my 3rd finger to my thumb. 11 weeks on and I now have a reasonable (and expected) range of motion in my thumb with which I am delighted. Mr Naqui was extremely personable and reassured me with a great deal of patience and confidence. Alongside his wonderful Physio team, Laura Edwards, they have achieved the promised result. I extend my thanks to Mr Naqui for his excellent and thoughtful care.

Saw Mr.Nqui regarding my thumb joint which had been very painful for a number of years. He explained what he was intending to do and was i happy with the op. It was done in 1 day. I went in on 24th July. It's now 22nd of oct. and i have so much more movement and very little pain.Don't get me wrong it's tender around the joint but that i'm hoping will get better in time. Can I also say a MASSIVE thank-you to the wonderful staff.Everyone i came into contact with was very kind, helpful, nothing was any trouble. My name is Jill Woods of Wilmslow

I consider myself very fortunate in having found Mr Naqui to repair a complicated fracture of my wrist. I had been left with my wrist in plaster and was faced with the prospect of it healing badly, leaving me with restricted movement and probable pain. Mr Naqui explained with great clarity the likely benefits of surgery, as well as pointing out the slight risks. He has a warm, friendly and caring manner. He listens attentively and exudes professional confidence. He is obviously an excellent surgeon. Post op I have had physio sessions with Esther, whose care has been wonderful. I am delighted to have already regained full movement of my wrist and am now working on strengthening it. The scar on my wrist is healing well. I am very pleased with every aspect of my treatment and care and am extremely grateful to Mr Naqui for repairing my wrist. I would highly recommend him.

I have suffered with Dupuytrens Contraction in both hands for many years. I was referred to Mr Zaf Naqui through the NHS two years ago and have been delighted with his care/attention/knowledge of the disease. I had a correctional operation early this year to my left hand and followed the 'post op' procedure and physio. All to date has turned out well and now about to go ahead with a similar op to my right hand. I'm confident all will go well even though this operation will be more invasive and involve a possible skin graft. If this operation goes as well as the first I will be extremely happy.

I have just had a Dupuytrens operation, that was to straighten my ring finger on my left hand. I was very nervous about the operation as I was coping with a bent finger very well and could do most things in my adapted ways. The decision was made and the op went well and what a difference, I did not realise how bad my hand was until it is back to normal again now. The scar is healing well, no pain just a little soreness but nothing much. I have to sleep with my fingers in a splint but that is no concern after the first night it feels normal. I am so glad I was brave and had the operation. Back to normal, what a good Job Mr Naqui has done. Thank you very much, I will not be as hesitant if in the future I need another finger operated on. Thanks again
