I first saw Dr Naqui on 4th June 2018 following a referral by my GP for Dupuytren’s contracture in my right little finger. I was very impressed by the way in which Dr Naqui explained the various issues to me – he has great way of talking to his patients and really communicates well. I subsequently underwent surgery in early September 2018 just three months after the consultation. The surgery was successful – my finger is now almost perfectly straight and I am delighted with the result. I could not have hoped for more and am very grateful to Dr Naqui and his team for their great work.  Everything from start to finish was professional, efficient and effective yet at the same time relaxed and friendly. Thank you.

Dr Naqui is just a genius! I first saw him with severe in my wrist from a this boxing injury, I had a TFCC operation which was fantastic from start to finish. I was kept informed about the whole procedure, he was so helpful and very supportive, all the staff who dealt with me at  Spire Manchester were wonderful. I am currently seeing Sarah the physiotherapist who is absolutely wonderful too. These guys have made my wrist brand new again! Thank you so much.

I recently saw Mr Naqui for wrist pain. He is very pleasant, very thorough and communicates very well. I would have no concerns about recommending him at all I would describe my overall experience as excellent

Last year I had hand surgery and Mr Naqui and the nurses at the hospital kept me informed of everything that was going to happen. I was treated with dignity and respect, Mr Naqui and his team made me feel safe and I was very well looked after. The outcome from the surgery I had was amazing, the recovery time was about 6 weeks as I have a manual job. The scar healed really well and is hardly visible, I had several sessions of physiotherapy which really helped me prepare to go back to work. Mr Naqui is an amazing surgeon and I would highly recommend him to anyone, he is really caring and really listens to you and your concerns.

Dr naqui did a brillant job on my thumb and im not in any pain now and i would like to thank all his team for all the care he gave me and once again thank you

I have been struggling with hand pain and numbness and tingling for several months and i was not sure what could be the cause of this. I asked my GP to refer me and i was seen by Dr Naqui in clinic. His approach to dealing with the presenting complaint at hand and his explanation of the cause of the problem was very well done. He explained the reason for my symptoms and offered me surgery to help with my condition, namely carpal tunnel syndrome. The date for the surgery came through the post very fast and i had the surgery done within 10 minutes of attending my appointment. It was a quick procedure and i was looked after by him and his staff very well. I have fully recovered from the symptoms and my would has fully healed. There were no complications. He is an excellent doctor with a great passion to help others and goes out lf his way to make the care of patients his first priority. He has since followed me up in clinic to make sure i have been doing well. I would highly recommend him for those that may have hand, wrist or elbow conditions and want the best outcome or even just for advice.

I injured my little finger in a taxi door, I completely broke the nail in half straight across the middle and you could see to the nail bed below. I contacted Spire Manchester Hospital who arranged for me to be seen by Mr Naqui that day. I had an x-ray of the little finger and then met Mr Naqui. The service was superb, he gave me a local anaesthetic, remove the nail, stitched the nail bed, dressed the finger and gave me antibiotics. This was all completed in outpatients in under an hour……………… wow. It was a great service and I am a very grateful patient. The outpatient nurses then dressed the finger each week until it all healed well. I now have a new nail and my finger looks great, all back to normal. I can’t thank Mr Naqui and the OPD team at Spire Manchester enough for their prompt service and great care. I would highly recommend this consultant and his team.

From my first visit to Dr Naqui for my carpal tunnel operation, he was very friendly and explained everything to me very clearly and told me what to expect after it, including the soreness and pain etc. Within weeks I was in for my op and it all went very smoothly. The scar is minimal, very neat work I have to say and on review this week, he explained to me clearly how to improve soreness and tightness I was experiencing, which is normal, and now I know what exercises to do to reduce this completely. The operation was a great success with instant relief from the pins and needles and numbness I had before. Even though I type for my job, I was worried it would come back etc, but I am symptom free. Now for the other hand! Thank you to Dr Naqui

Excellent service by Mr Naqui, Candice and BMI healthcare staff. Following an XRay, Mr Naqui performed wrist arthroscopy and removal ganglion 7 days later. Physiotherapy arranged and recovery progressed really well.

First class treatment, very professional nice people.

Zaf was great from start to finish! I came to him for a second opinion and I should’ve done it sooner. I was originally misdiagnosed, and on examination by Zaf it was found that I had a torn UCL, dislocated thumb and badly bruised bone. Really informative with genuine care and time to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend for any hand injuries!

Mr Zafar Naqui was very professional and approachable. His treatment ( injection in hand) was so successful I forgot which hand it was when going back for check up. Thank you Mr Naqui.

I had undergone scaphoid surgery at Salford Royal and despite the best efforts of the surgeons there my scaphoid was beyond saving. I was in immense pain and couldn’t move my hand when i went to see Mr Naqui. Now 3 months on my pain has completely gone and the movement is coming back. I would highly recommend seeking treatment with Mr Naqui.

Just writing to say thank you again for taking care of me last week. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help. I don’t usually sit still for long and getting an injury that affects my career as well as climbing/cycling/swimming/mountaineering/etc was a real shock.
xxxx made a great call in saying you’d be the right person to go to and I feel really lucky to have had such a good patient experience. I would appreciate it if you could also pass my thanks on to the rest of your team, every person I met was extremely kind and professional.

I attended the Alexandra Hospital for an x-ray guided steroid injection to my hand. The attention I received was excellent and I should be very pleased if you would convey my grateful thanks to Mr Naqui. It was a first class experience – Mr Naqui leads an extremely well organised team in a very relaxed and professional atmosphere.

Thank you all.

Kind regards

Dear Mr Naqui,

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you and all your team for taking such excellent care of me before,during and following my Trapeziectomy+FCR Sling on the 14th.June 2017.
As you will recall,I had been suffering with osteoarthritis in my left-hand thumb for 4/5 years,but which deteriorated severely during 2015. Since late 2015,I had been having steroid injections elsewhere but which proved to give only temporary relief initially and then finally being of no benefit.
Since I was referred to you by my GP in mid-May 2017,I was particularly impressed by your obvious willingness to help me and your very kind efforts to fit me into your busy operating schedule only a few weeks later.
Following surgery,I was,as expected,in quite some pain which was treated effectively with pain killers. After some 12 weeks,the pain level had reduced considerably…
Following on-going massaging of the scar,together with regular physiotherapy,I am finding I can achieve improved movement each week and was able to start driving again 7 weeks after surgery.

Now,I am already able to carry our certain movements which I was unable to do before and feel confident that,as time goes on,I shall make a complete recovery.
I should mention that your Physiotherapy Manager,Laura Edwards,played a crucial role in my recovery and was extremely helpful,kind and patient throughout the 10 weeks she looked after me,for which I am extremely grateful.

As a 72 year old man,whose day-to-day activities and sleep were being badly affected by restrictions and pain before surgery,I can now look forward to many years of pain-free use of my left-hand.
With my sincere and grateful thanks.
Kind regards,
JW

Just a short note to say how pleased I am with my recent treatment from you for my right hand Dupuytrens disease. Service has been excellent before , during and after surgery.

My finger is now straight and I feel sure there could not have been a better outcome. Thank you.

Experience: I just moved to UK from USA so I was stressed about my tendinitis in my wrist especially with my work (I travel a lot internationally). I shopped for doctors for a month before finally choosing Dr. Naqui. He understood my situation and was very accommodating. He made me feel comfortable in whatever choice of treatment we decided.

Outcome : I had to be in Asia for work 2 weeks post surgery, his team was amazing. They accommodated me and I was able to recover with none of my work deliverables suffering. Very happy. A month later I have started my return to gym, hoping to beat my personal best soon..

Thanks,

I wish to thank mr Naqui and his wonderful team on the operation to remove a ganglion from my little finger. I was treated as a day care and had a general anaesthetic. So i was discharged with painkillers, but the operation was such a success i was pain free. The scar has now healed and is barely visible and I also have full flexibility of my finger again. I cannot thank Mr Naqui enough for his professionalism and expertise, I would recommend him very highly to anybody with any hand complaint.

Yours Paul W

I had a Carpal Tunnel Decompression operation, performed by Zaf Naqui.

I was very nervous about the operation. Mr Naqui was very reassuring and explained everuthing and answered every question I had about the procedure. The whole operation from start to finish took 7 minutes would you believe?

My main fear about the procedure was the pain or being able to feel what was going on as your awake. I can honestly reassure anybody, who is hesitant, that there was none whatsoever and I was very surprised when he told me the procedure was over as I thought it would have took at least half an hour !!

I went back after 10 days to have my stitches out and to see how I was getting on. The wound was the neatest wound I have ever seen in my life.
I was given some simple exercises to do over the coming months to help with the flexibility, swelling and healing.

It’s been 10 months now since the operation and I’m pleased to say it was a real success. I don’t even have a scar as it was so neatly done. I would encourage anyone who needs the procedure to get it done as soon as possible. As the relief is instantaneous and well worth your hand being out of action for a couple of weeks. It was so simple and easy I am hoping to get my other hand done this year.

Attached are some photos of before during and after.
