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.

I saw Mr Naqui for wrist pain and subsequently had an arthroscopy for treatment. I found Dr Naqui and his team very professional and efficient. Everything was well explained and the procedure went well.

Wrist Injury
I just cannot thank Mr Naqui enough for the diagnosis, the operation and physio you provided for me; and eight weeks on, my wrist is so much stronger. I have used my splint which Lindsey made for my thumb, but have not just decided to have it fused. I have written to the hospital explaining how successful my operation had been and the marvellous treatment I had received from you all. Again very many thanks.

Scapholunate Reconstruction
A little over 6 months ago I was referred to Mr Naqui as I was suffering from pain in the back of my hand and wrist that my GP had been unable to diagnose. I was finding simple things like holding a glass of water painful. On the first meeting he was friendly and polite and relatively quickly assessed that it was most likely damage to my Schapolunate ligament and advised I had an MRI. Around a week later I saw him again for the diagnosis based on the MRI results. Mr Naqui was able to explain to me in terms I understood the damage that was done to my schapolunate and also that my scaphoid bone had turned and needed correcting. He advised that while I could manage the pain it would not heal correctly on its own and to avoid any onset of arthritis he recommended surgery.
Around 10 days later I was admitted into The Spuire as an over night patient. In the morning Mr Naqui visited me and once more ran through the procedure he planed to carry out, the required blockers/pain relief and completely putting me at ease. I had my ligament repaired and 2 pins placed on my wrist to hold everything in place. After surgery he visited me again while still at the hospital to check how I was recovering post anesthetic. After the first surgery I wore a custom fitted splint and only worked on regaining the movement of my fingers. One month on from my first surgery I returned to have my pins removed, again under a general and Mr Naqui visited me in the morning before the surgery and I was also visited by my physio Sarah Keogh.
Post surgery was a long recovery but it was as expected. I continued to wear the fitted splint for a number of weeks while taking it off at various times to complete a set routine of task set by Sarah to rebuild the strength and movement in my wrist. Over time I’ve been delighted to get a full range of movement in all my fingers and I continue to work on improving all angles my wrist can reach, however for me most importantly I feel no pain in my wrist anymore and can continue with every day things you take for granted, like lifting items or pushing open doors. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Naqui not just for his friendly personable approach but also for the expertise and knowledge he has shown throughout my time in his care. I would also like to mention Candice who made setting appointments with Mr Naqui very easy and gave me a number of options when picking time for my surgery and also Sarah who worked closely with Mr Naqui setting goals for my recovery.

Dupuytren’s Contracture
Mr Naqui, has operated on my hands on several occasions to correct dupuytrens contracture. On each occasion his explanations and calm manner have allowed me to make a fully informed decision. On the day of the actual operation he seems to find the time to spare that extra moment despite a busy list. The results have been on each occasion excellent and after 10 operations in total I know what I am talking about. If you need to see a hand specialist he is the one.

Dupuytren’s Contracture
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.

Boxing Injury
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.

Hand Surgery
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.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
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.

Finger Injury
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.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
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
