I recently saw Mr Naqui for Right thumb arthroscopy. Throughout the process from referral to the post operative stage I could not have wished for a better experience. Mr Naqui is a commensurate professional and I felt I had total trust in his professional acumen. Both my thumbs have been affected by Osteoarthritis which caused marked pain, deformity and weakness. Mr Naqui discussed all options and we agreed arthroscopy was the most appropriate treatment for me. Mr Naqui is one of the few surgeons undertaking this procedure and from the positive feedback had experience in this procedure which is why I saw him so that I had all options of treatment available. Mr Naqui operated on the most painful joint first and I am now 8 weeks post surgery and the result is amazing. Living alone and having surgery on my dominant hand was a needless concern as recovery was quite quick with the support of Esther the hand surgery physiotherapist who sees you from pre surgery through to the post operative period. I now have only the odd twinge, good strength and good aesthetic improvement. This has been so successful I cannot wait for the other thumb to be operated on. A special mention here for the indomitable Donna whose organisational skills augmented the smooth running of the process.
