Trigger Thumb - a couple of years ago, I fell at the top of my stairs and within 24 hours developed trigger thumb which became increasingly very painful. I initially approached the NHS and was given a thumb brace, which did nothing for the pain. I then tried a couple of steriod injections privately which worked temporarily for 6 months at a time, but the condition came back. I visited Mr Naqui for a consultation and agreed that surgery was the way forward. I initially resisted surgery because I wanted to play golf and was nervous of the outcome. In January 2023, I decided to have it done; my only wish is that I had it done earlier. Recovery was fast and within 5 weeks I was playing golf again better than ever. I think it is important to follow the instructions for exercising the thumb to minimise scarring and have a couple of physiotherapy sessions. My scar is hardly visable and my golf is better than ever. Mr Naqui and his team are so welcoming and he is a true professional. Thank you for your help, I would not hesitate to see you again.

After breaking my wrist in a fall, I was treated at an NHS hospital , where they re-set my wrist. However the wrist was set incorrectly and I suffered pain and discomfort for several months. I decided then to seek further treatment to try to rectify the problem and made an appointment to see Mr Naqui. Throughout my treatment I felt confident and reassured every step of the way. Donna, Mr Naqui's secretary, was amazing and very accommodating and supportive from the initial appointment right through to the end. Mr Naqui explained the procedure he was going to do during the operation and despite me feeling anxious following my initial treatment elsewhere, he filled me with confidence and reassured me each step of the way. Although the operation was quite complicated due to the way it had been set, Mr Naqui was amazing and with the aftercare and physio I was given I am pleased to say it is back to a place I never thought it would be. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Naqui and his team to anyone needing hand /wrist surgery. I am delighted with the service he and his team provided. Thank you Mr Naqui.

I was referred to Mr Naqui, due to a cyst in my wrist, at the Spire in Didsbury. I was seen very quickly, and he clearly and helpfully explained all of my options. I was booked into surgery efficiently by the hospital staff, and the care and treatment I received on the day of surgery was incredibly kind and considerate. Prior to discharge, I was booked in for all follow up appointments with the nurses, physiotherapy and for my 2 month review with Mr Naqui. I highly recommend the treatment by Mr Naqui and the staff at the Spire.

I was made to feel at ease all throughout from diagnosis to treatment and aftercare. Mr Naqui and the nurses were knowledgeable and caring and kept me informed during treatment and aftercare.

I was referred to Mr Naqui due to a ganglion in my left wrist that was preventing me training and lifting weights. He listened to my concerns and gave me realistic outcomes. The surgery went well and on my follow up I was asked if it had improved - which it had. I was also given future aftercare. Mr Naqui didn’t at any point dismiss my concerns or reasons for wanting the have the procedure, as for me, it was important.
