I saw Mr Naqui with my thumb which I had had problems with for a few months and was getting more painful by the day. Mr Naqui was very thorough in his examination and gave me a full and detailed explanation of his diagnosis, the treatments available for my condition and how he intended to treat it. Within one week of my visit and initial treatment, I was relieved to feel the pain starting to subside; at two weeks post treatment, the pain had almost gone. Three months on and I have been discharged with full use of my thumb and no more pain. I cannot thank Mr Naqui enough; he is my miracle worker and a truly talented and brilliant surgeon.

Mr Naqui was very clear in explaining the nature and treatment for my condition (trigger finger) and also in what the follow up would be. Manchester Integrated Care should also be highly commended for the service they provide in assisting patients from GP referral to hospital / consultant appointment at a time and place which is prompt and accessible.

I fractured my scaphoid in October last year. After five weeks it was confirmed as none union fracture. At this point I booked an appointment with Mr Naqui. He explained that surgery would be required and booked me in for the next day. The surgery was carried out and was a complete success. I am now having physiotherapy with Laura. My whole experience with Mr Naqui and his team has been first class. I was given great advice and all has turned out well Many thanks.
