The surgery on my hand went smoothly not only throughout the operation itself but also the after care and physio provided by the team around Mr Naqui. I now have full use of my hand with very minor scarring which Mr Naqui is confident will heal further over the next twelve months. A great experience and result all round.

Mr Naqui has carried out two successful procedures on my hands over the past 3 years.He has always been very professional and kind in his approach.He demonstrated extensive knowledge in his field. Donna is wonderful to deal with and also Esther in physio is also a charm. I would highly recommend Mr Naqui and say you would not get a better surgeon in the country.

I recently underwent wrist surgery performed by Mr. Zaf Naqwi, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding and highly skilled surgeon. His knowledge and professionalism truly stand out and he his at the top of his profession. The entire experience was seamless, and I felt well cared for from start to finish. Additionally, Mr. Naqwi’s secretary was incredibly attentive and kept me informed about all appointments and updates. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and her communication was prompt and reassuring. I also want to mention the excellent care I received from my physiotherapist, Esther. She was knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly supportive. With her help, I saw significant improvement in my wrist’s mobility and flexibility. Overall, I have nothing but praise for the entire team. I’m deeply grateful for their dedication and care.

I recently had treatment with Mr Naqui and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the very first appointment, they were exceptionally friendly, approachable, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process.

Mr Naqui performed hand surgery on my right hand. From the first consultation to the final check up he was great. Very re assuring and honest, and very positive too. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has an issue with their hands. And also I would like to mention the great support from his team too. His Personal Assistant Donna and his Physio Esther were so helpful and couldn’t do enough. I would highly recommend this great team to anyone.

Mr Naqui is the most personable and delightful consultant that I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. His qualification to deal with my hand procedures (CTS) is exemplary. He is highly professional, accommodating and precise making my procedure trouble free. His support staff, in particular the delightful Donna, were super efficient in managing the whole process and timetable to perfection. I highly recommend Mr Naqui.

I have been Mr Naqui’s patient for some time now. He has diagnosed and treated issues with both of my hands and has done so completely successfully. He is clear and succinct in his explanations and an extremely effective practitioner. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone requiring consultation and/or treatment in the specialisms he works in.
