The whole process from a GP referral to a hand clinic through to operation was quick , pain free and straightforward.
Mr.Naqui was professional and empathetic and provided me with all the details concerning my condition , rehabilitation as well as any future issues.
I appreciate the intervention undertaken on my hand by Mr. Naqui and am extremely pleased with the outcome.

I was referred to Mr Naqui after waiting a significant amount of time on the NHS for a tendon rupture in my thumb. It was my first surgical procedure and very nervous however Mr Naqui was truly lovely and extremely patient. He very methodically explained the procedure and the recovery path, allaying any fears i had. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough

After visiting the Alexandra hospital under the excellent supervision of Mr Syed Z Naqui to straighten my doubled over little finger was told it was going to be a challenge.The outcome I am pleased to report has gone perfectly well and I would like to thank Mr Naqui and his staff for their professionalism and fantastic aftercare.

Excellent treatment from Mr Naqui and his team. Before the operation I had severe numbness and pain in my left hand. I was finding work and every day life difficult. Noticed a difference within a few days of operation. Now 6 months since the operation and more or less back to normal. The scar is barely visible. Had been nervous about having the operation but so glad I did. Very grateful to Mr Naqui and his team for the professionalism, skill and kindness shown.

Mr Naqui operated on my wrist after a bad break, he arranged for my surgery as soon as he was able, my wrist is now good as new again and I was back using my hand within a week of the operation. Very impressed. Thank you

I recently had my 1st hand operation for Dupuytren’s disease performed by Mr Naqui. I have the disease in both hands, so he can only do one at a time to make day to day life easier for me. Following my 1st operation I have been totally amazed by the results. The little finger on my left hand was folding in to such a severe degree, it was almost touching my palm. Mr Naqui told me it would be difficult to fully straighten but I’m so pleased with the outcome. Following the operation the after care and Physio I received from Lindsay was fantastic. She talked me through all that was going to happen etc and was so accurate with all her information, healing time, treatment etc. Her attention to detail was amazing. I would like to thank all the staff involved with my operation from start to finish. From arriving at reception to leaving a few hours later. It was attentive, informative and they all made me feel very relaxed. Thank you, Wayne Billance.

I had Carpal tunnel surgery on both hands (3 weeks apart) in June & July 2019. The results were instant and I was amazed that all the horrible symptoms I had been experiencing had totally gone. Mr Naqui was so professional, friendly and approachable that I had total confidence in his recommendations for the carpal tunnel surgery. Mr Naqui was also so obliging of my time scales as I was going away on holiday at the end of July. Thank you so much Mr Naqui and your very efficient secretary Candice.

My dad had an accident in April, resulting in major poly-trauma injuries, requiring life saving thoracic surgery at SRFT. One of his many injuries was a wrist fracture, which may seem minor in comparison to multiple flail rib fractures, but has actually caused my dad the most problems. At my request, once the initial acute injuries were stable, his wrist care was transferred to Mr Naqui, who from day 1 has consistently listened to him and understood how such an injury would impact on his day to day activities, ability to undertake the necessary rehab and overall quality of life. I am confident that under Mr Naqui’s care my dad will be able to build a therapeutic relationship with him, which will greatly improve his overall surgical outcome and recovery. My family and I are extremely grateful to Mr Naqui for his input, patience, kindness and outstanding clinical skill and I look forward to my Dad seeing the benefit from this. I would be extremely happy to recommend Mr Naqui to anyone requiring upper limb surgery

Mr Naqui and his team are fantastic. Very professional and caring a true gentleman! At the consultation Mr Naqui explained what this problem was and what needed to be done. The surgery was explained in full and an appointment was arranged within a few months. I had struggled for months with a rather large pearl ganglion on my middle finger and was finding it increasingly difficult to carry out everyday tasks like writing or opening jars. The surgery to remove the pearl ganglion from my finger was very quick and painless under local anesthesia. I even got to see the ganglion once removed ( I had asked prior to the surgery) Recovery was relatively painless. It didn’t take long for me to be able to use my hand properly again. The follow up appointment was informative too.
Thank you again Mr Naqui !

Mr Naqui has been one of the most kind and caring surgeons I have ever met he’s a very warm person and easy to talk to , from the first consultation he explained everything regarding my hand and wrist symptoms to what the surgery involved and what the after care was. The whole experience was quick and now I have the full use of my hand again . I can’t wait to have my other hand operated on even though I found the surgery painful and coping with one hand for a few weeks awkward. Thanks to Mr Naqui I’ll soon have both hands cooperating with simple daily tasks

Very professional doctor. extremely thorough for a stretched median nerve. I went to 2 other Orthopedics who were not as thorough, until I found Dr. Naqui and straight away, I could tell he was a cut about the rest. The man knows his stuff. 5 stars

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!
