I felt at ease and confident with Mr Naqui right from the beginning. He operated on my wrist and thanks to him, I have full use of my wrist again. He explained everything so carefully so I felt reassured about the procedure that I faced. His secretary communicated with me very promptly and was genuinely caring and happy to deal with queries and appointments. I would recommend Mr Naqui to anyone who has hand and wrist problems.

I am totally satisfied with the treatment I have had from Mr Naqui for trigger finger. He explains things clearly and concisely and the procedure he performed was efficiently and effectively carried out – and a complete success. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I have nothing but praise for Mr Naqui,his secretary Donna and Esther the physio. I had carpal tunnel surgery 3 weeks ago,and the care and attention is second to none. From the lovely nurses who prepared me for the procedure, the staff who worked with Mr Naqui during the procedure, Donna who is so helpful, and Esther who I have been seeing post op,all wonderful.its always worrying when you’ve having a procedure, I needn’t have,the whole team put me at ease.

A great experience from start to finish! It started with my initial consultation based on painful pins and needles keeping me awake every nightin my hand. Mr Naqui was very clear in his diagnosis and the options available to me. I opted for carpal tunnel surgery to sort it out. Booking the appointment couldn’t have been easier. Donna, Mr Naqui’s secretary, was so friendly and helpful in finding a date around busy work commitments..Nothing was too much for her! The day of the surgery couldn’t have gone any better. All the staff from start to finish were amazing and communication throughout was fantastic from Mr Naqui and the rest of the team. I couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough and if you are struggling with similar symptoms make an appointment with Mr Naqui now..You won’t regret it!!

My consultation appointment with Mr Naqui went well. He listened, with caring eye contact, assuring me my symptoms of pins and needles and pain in my right hand could be relieved with carpel tunnel surgery. On 11 December 2024 this minor surgery took place at The Alexandra hospital, Cheadle. The bedside manner of theatre staff was exemplary, however, I was not prepared for the extreme pain and consequent huge bruising from the tourniquet on my arm! Stitches were removed by a nurse 10days after surgery. Two sessions of physio followed by, a very friendly practitioner, Michelle. Today, 6wks after surgery I saw Mr Naqui, he and I were pleased with my scar and pain-free finger movement. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr Naqui with confidence. Donna, Mr Naqui’s Secretary, is a gem of a lady, helpful in every way. Thank you to everyone.

Mr Naqui performed a Carpal Tunnel Procedure on my Left hand on 11th December 24. I have been suffered with pins and needles and my hands going numb. I looked into the treatment and found it was a simple procedure I then searched for a surgeon. I came across Mr Naqui who had some great reviews and was local to me. Mr Naqui explained the whole procedure to me , including the risks, he gave me confidence in both his professional ability and experience. On the day of the operation, Mr Naqui and his team treated me with the greatest kindness. Now, six weeks on, I have no numbness or pins and needles at all. I am so impressed I have now booked in to have my right hand done. Once this has been done, I am looking forward to the upcoming year without any discomfort in my hands. I cannot thank Mr Naqui ,team and Donna his secretary enough. I have no hesitation in recommending this surgery and this team them to anyone.

Mr Naqui performed a Carpal Tunnel Procedure on my right hand on 27 th November 2024 , having suffered with increasing pins and needles in my fingers for 6 years. The reason I left it so long before going to see him , was that I was frightened of the surgery, I had no need to feel frightened, Mr Naqui explained the whole procedure to me , including the risks, he filled me with so much confidence in both his professional ability and experience. On the day of the operation, Mr Naqui and his team treated me with the greatest kindness. Now, six weeks later, I have full feeling and no numbness or pins and needles at all in whatever position I have my hand. I cannot thank Mr Naqui , his team and Donna his secretary enough, and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

I have seen Mr Naqui on two occasions to deal with the Dupuytrens Contracture On both my left and right hands. He explains the procedure very carefully as a fantastic bedside manner. Both his and his teams care has been exceptional and I would be more than happy to recommend.

Dr Naqui performed Carpal Tunnel surgery on my husbands right hand in October. The surgery was a great success! From start to finish Dr Naqui was excellent, from consultation, to surgery and post surgical care, he took time to explain every step and the surgery was super quick! We couldn’t have asked for better. We will be using Dr Naqui again as the left hand requires the same surgery and we wouldn’t look anywhere else! Thank you!
