Delighted with my treatment carried out by Mr Naqui. Felt instantly reassured about the suggested procedure. His secretary is effecient, friendly and kept me informed.

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!

All went smoothly and received good care

This is my second review for Mr Naqui as I am now some months after my second thumb joint arthroplasty. Mr Naqui has undertaken many of these procedures so for this reason combined with my experience of his professional skills and excellent patient manner I returned for the second surgery. Being the proud owner of bilateral thumb joint replacements has for me been transformational. I had lost a lot of strength when using my hands which has now returned. Mr Naquis specialist hand physiotherapist Esther measured my thumb strength pre and post operatively and I have three times the strength post-surgery. In addition to an increase of strength is the aesthetic look as prior to surgery the base of my thumbs were disfigured but are now no longer misshapen and scarring from the surgery is minimal. Thank you, Mr Naqui, Donna your medical secretary and Esther the hand physiotherapist for Mr Naqui for making such a positive experience once again.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Naqui and his team. he listened to my issues at my first consultation and quickly established a diagnosis. I am now 6 weeks post operative and couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you to Dr Naqui and his team.

I have had dupuytrons contracture for 35 yrs and mr naqui ismy fourth consultant over this time frame. He is by far the most engaging and friendly consultant, pre and post-operation. Since the surgery i can do many things i could not before. For example; using scissors, pliers and finger picking my guitar. And i can hold a beer glass!

Very pleasant gentleman who takes the time to listen and explain what your problem is and the best course of action to resolve it.

Mr Naqui and his team have been second to none thought my care! I received outstanding care from Mr Naqui, no question was to big or small and I was reassured throughout my care. Donna was always on the end of the phone to help in any way she could and would go out of her way to make sure all bases were covered! Esther has been utterly fabulous and continues to help me heal my wrist to help me back to full fitness! I would definitely recommend this service! THANK YOU!

I have recently undergone carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand. From the initial consultation to a final post op check, everything went extremely smoothly and I am pleased with the results. Mr Naqui discussed my symptoms, assessed the likely cause, and suggested further nerve tests to confirm carpal tunnel syndrome. My surgery was then scheduled. Mr Naqui fully and clearly explained the procedure, the potential risks, the recovery times involved and answered all my questions clearly. The operation went smoothly and his nursing staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui to anyone. Thank you and your team.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Mr. Zaf Naqui for a ganglion cyst in my wrist near the tendons. From the outset, his professionalism and excellent communication stood out. He took the time to explain my condition in clear and thorough detail, showing and interpreting imaging to ensure I fully understood the situation and treatment options. Rather than immediately opting for surgery, he recommended seeing a professor for an ultrasonic steroid injection, which turned out to be the perfect solution. The procedure was minor, effective, and completely pain-free, with no issues since. His approach demonstrated both expertise and a commitment to providing the best possible care for his patients. Overall, I highly recommend Mr. Naqui for his knowledge, patient-focused care, and ability to make informed, practical treatment recommendations. My experience was excellent, and I appreciate the high standard of care I received.

Mr Naqui, Is an amazing surgeon, he has operated on both my wrist carpal tunnel with amazing results. This month I had my elbow carpal tunnel done, again with fabulous results. He is such a lovely man, personally and professionally. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui.

My experience under doctor Naqui’s care was was brilliant, his whole team were helpful and professional.
Would highly recommend

“You need to love your hand—it is beautiful.”

A wrist fracture wasn’t how I planned to start 2025.
Long story short, I couldn’t get timely treatment through the NHS to prevent long-term complications, and I was running out of time with misaligned bones. I saw Mr. Naqui and it was apparent from xrays I needed the surgery asap. That’s when Donna, Mr. Naqui’s PA, stepped in. In just three days, she managed to arrange surgery at Alex Hospital—an almost impossible task. Her compassion, dedication, and determination made all the difference.
I had never undergone surgery before and was terrified. However, Mr. Naqui and the anaesthesiologist took the time to answer all my questions, explain the procedure step by step, and reassure me throughout the process.
Mr. Naqui did an exceptional job realigning the bones. I’ve received many compliments on the scar—it’s incredibly neat and will soon be barely visible.
Right after the surgery, Mr. Naqui ensured I was under the care of the wonderful and very skilled hand therapist, Esther. I enjoy our conversations, even as she consistently pushes me beyond my limits in support of my recovery. During moments when I felt low or overwhelmed by the fracture’s impact, he immediately asked me to see him in the clinic. At appointment, he told me : “to love my hand as it is beautiful.” He emphasized that my recovery would depend not just on physical therapy but also on how I perceive and care for my hand.
What sets Mr. Naqui apart is his holistic approach to patient care. He continues to closely monitor my progress and works in tandem with my hand therapist to ensure I receive the best care possible. Donna is always available to help with any requests.
I’m surrounded by an amazing team that supports, encourages, and genuinely cares for me. They’re always just a call away, and every aspect of my treatment is tailored to my specific needs.
Beyond his surgical skill and lovely personality, Mr. Naqui has a rare gift for bringing together talented professionals with both expertise and warmth—a team I’m incredibly grateful to have by my side

I was very pleased with the results of my operation and the whole experience from the initial consultation right through to being discharged . Mr Naqui explained the procedure prior to surgery in a way that l could fully understand , lt was excellent throughout and l would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Naqui to my family and friends. Thank you so much

Thank you Dr Zaf Naqui. Keep up the great work!

I have now seen Mr Naqui twice for two separate hand injuries. He is caring, professional and really skilled with his treatment. His diagnosis was spot on both times even prior to the scans. He is without doubt the best in his field in the north.

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!!
