During the course of my treatment and consultation, Mr Naqui was attentive and showed genuine concern for my welfare. The information that he shared with me before and after the operation gave me confidence that the outcome would be of real benefit to me. I didn’t worry about the procedure as it was explained well and the outcome was very clear. I did encounter as small problem with the hospital I used which Mr Naqui addressed expediently and professionally. I would have no hesitation in recommending this consultant.

A great experience from start to finish and my carpal tunnel symptoms have disappeared. I’m so glad i got the release surgery done and I am sleeping the best I have in two years. I felt very well cared for under Dr Naqui and the recovery has been fast. I’d highly recommend him and the team.

You’re in the best hands, if you’ll excuse the pun, with Dr. Naqui! Professional, helpful, and kind throughout my carpal tunnel treatment process. Highly recommend

I instantly felt confident in Mr. Naqui as soon as I met him. He is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He operated on my hand to correct Dupuytren’s Contracture in my left hand and, having had my right hand done by a different surgeon I had an idea what to expect. The work Mr.Naqui did was markedly better. The scar is very neat (I make keloid scars so neatness is hard to achieve). My hand has returned to full flexibility but don’t expect this to happen automatically just because Mr. Naqui performed the operation; you have to do your bit and it requires dedicated exercise by the patient for several months. Overall I am very happy with the outcome and I am happy to recommend Mr. Naqui. I also need to mention Donna, his secretary, who has been friendly and efficient throughout the process.

Mr Naqui and his team were outstanding throughout the process. Operation was 5 weeks ago and have already returned to work. A true testament to their care and support. Physio with Ester has been amazing and is ongoing. Donna continues to be a great help. Thank you to all involved. Would highly recommend!

Following several years of discomfort and pain in both hands & thumbs, I finally decided to see a specialist. I met with Mr Naqui and from the very first meeting / consultation I knew I was going to be looked after and be in the best possible care. Roll on 18 months and 2 thumb joint replacement surgeries later all I can say is this was best decision ever.
My hands no longer give me any pain, I am back to doing DIY, to cycling and just everyday living has been transformed.

Mr Naqui has been totally professional throughout, clearly explaining everything in a manner easy to understand. No questions were unanswered.
Donna has always been super – Offering help and support always, constantly in touch and assisting throughout the consultation & surgery appointments & follow ups.
Physio with Esther has been brilliant – she is so caring about her patients and providing exercises and advice. Talking with her is so calming and she explains in detail as she develops your specific physio path to recovery.

From all the team at the Alexandra Hospital Cheadle, to Donna, to Esther and Mr Naqui i say THANK YOU!
