Mr Naqui and his team were outstanding throughout the process. Operation was 5 weeks ago and have already returned to work. A true testament to their care and support. Physio with Ester has been amazing and is ongoing. Donna continues to be a great help. Thank you to all involved. Would highly recommend!

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!

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!
