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 saw Mr Naqui at the Alexandra Hospital with “trigger thumb”. The condition was really uncomfortable and getting worse. Following an initial consultation I was given a steroid injection in the base of my thumb. The whole appointment took no longer than 20 minutes. Within a couple of weeks my thumb was completely back to normal. I was very impressed with the professional and efficient way I was cared for. Thank you to the whole team!

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.

Mr Naqui was brilliant from the start of my care onwards, I cant recommend him enough.
He explained the procedure very clearly and I felt very comfortable having him perform the procedure.
The after care has been just a good.
Fantastic!

I saw Mr Naqui at the beginning of January 2023 after almost twelve months of debilitating pain and numbness in both hands which had led to me getting as little as 3 hours broken sleep each night.
I had previously been seen by my local NHS MSK team who had said they thought the pain was caused by Cervical Radiculopathy and referred me to Salford Royal. On receiving my referral I was told that the wait was around 70 weeks and was really at my wits end so decided to pay to get seen privately. I was initially seen by a neurosurgeon who conducted both an MRI scan and nerve conduction studies at the end of 2022 which ruled out Cervical Radiculopathy previously suggested but results did point towards severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands.
It was at this point I contacted Mr Naqui via his secretary Donna.
The service I have received since first making contact a couple of days before Christmas 2022 has been absolutely second to none.
Donna has been amazing – I explained my situation to her and she arranged an appointment for me to see Mr Naqui extremely quickly at the beginning of January 2023. Donna also ensured that my medical records from the MRI and nerve conduction studies were passed to Mr Naqui ahead of my first appointment.
On seeing Mr Naqui he was extremely professional and helpful and I felt that he really took the time to listen to me.
Mr Naqui advised that I would benefit from carpal tunnel surgery on both hands however recommended I get surgery on my left hand first as this was giving me the most pain.
I cannot explain how relieved I felt in this moment – that I was finally getting answers and on the path to getting fixed!
My experience got even better from there as I was very very lucky and managed to get a cancelled surgery slot just 4 days after seeing Mr Naqui.
I was nervous about the surgery but really had no need to be as Mr Naqui and the team put me completely at ease during the operation which went very smoothly and was done at the time it was planned to be carried out – this was great as it meant I didn’t have time to think about my nerves.
The after care has been great as well – every person I have come into contact with could not have done more and seem really happy in their jobs which gives reassurance to the patient.
I am around 4 weeks post op now and will see Mr Naqui again soon to get surgery on my right hand.
I really cannot thank Mr Naqui, Donna and team enough – although I am still on my treatment journey as my right hand is to be operated on, this surgery has really been life changing for me.
I am in so much less pain, getting more normal amounts of sleep and finally feel I am getting my quality of life back.
This is a complete 360 to where I was just a few months back where I felt I had hit a dead end at every avenue and was starting to think I would just be in pain and sleep deprived for years to come.
The only thing I would change about the whole experience is that I wish I had looked at going private sooner – the service and whole experience overall has been absolutely exceptional.
Thank you so much!

This was my second highly successful Dupuytrens operation with Mr Naqui.
Everything went perfectly once again. I would not hesitate to recommend Zaf, Donna and Esther the physiotherapist and all the nursing staff at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle
Many thanks

The surgery went well and I am so pleased with the outcome.
I would totally recommend Mr Naqui

I had an accident in my garden in April. I went to a local hospital and they told me I had a hairline fracture in my left wrist which led me to wear a cast for 5 weeks. When the cast came off the fracture hadn’t knitted well. I was still in a lot of pain. I went to see to Mr Naqui and he reassured me if I had an operation he would put a metal plate in to line the bones together. I was very reluctant and extremely nervous as I had only ever had one operation and was very anxious about going into hospital. He convinced me that if I had the operation I would have more flexibility in my wrist. He was very patient and very understanding. When he came to see me before the operation he made me feel at ease and I found his bedside manner reassuring. I have had my final consultation and I am happy to say my wrist feels great and I have no pain. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui.

I saw Mr Naqui about a Carpol Tunnel issue. I knew what the problem was as I had experienced it in the other hand previously. The diagnosis was quick and straightforward and the surgical procedure and follow up straightforward. Although I believe it is a simple ‘procedure’, it is good to know that you have got an expert looking after to you. Got to also mention Mr Naqui’s Secretary who was brilliant in sorting out the appointments and following up when the original operation had to be postponed at short notice.

I saw Mr Naqui about a Carpol tunnel issue in my left hand. I already knew what the issue was as I had suffered a similar problem with my other hand, but a diagnosis was required and I was seen quickly and the operation and follow up was all very good. Although the procedure is straight forward its good to know that the person doing it is an expert in his field.

Over the last several years, Dupuytren’s caused the little finger on my left hand to contract considerably, leading to discomfort and inconvenience in many areas, not least when playing the keyboards and piano.
I live and work on an American Naval Station in Spain, where I was diagnosed, but no surgeons are qualified here to do the surgery. Rather than go to a Spanish hospital and face a language barrier, I chose to research consultants in England, and found much positive feedback and many recommendations for Mr. Naqui.
From the outset, Mr. Naqui and Ms. Clark were incredibly helpful and accommodating. I was even able to consult with Mr. Naqui remotely before and after the surgery.
The surgery itself went very smoothly. Mr. Naqui and the team at Spire were fantastic and quickly eased my apprehension. After the procedure I experienced no pain and minimal discomfort. After the procedure I traveled back to Spain, where I had the stitches removed. I then traveled to the States for several weeks, where I had several sessions with and occupational therapist. All the time Mr. Naqui and the team at Spire were there to answer questions and to consult virtually.
I had the operation on July 8, 2022, and now, on September 7, I still cannot believe the results. The surgery was a real life-changing experience for me. It gave me back the dexterity and flexibility I was lacking. Most importantly for me, I was once more able to play music, my biggest passion.
I can not thank Mr. Naqui and his team enough. I wholeheartedly recommend his services and have complete trust in his skill and expertise.

I was referred and later diagnosed with arthritis of the wrist and had steroid injections for this. The injections worked and I am currently pain free. The whole process ran very smoothly, and the communication was thorough and clear. Overall, a very professional experience
