Reviews
I visited Mr Naqui with what I could only describe as a 'claw hand' (Dupuytrens Contracture), it hampered my work and day to day activities shaving etc. and was quite an embarassment when it came to hand shakes!! Running my own business time is always difficult to take off but in hind sight I wish I had gone much earlier. Mr Naqui and his team did a fabulous job, my right hand is totally straight now with the full functionality in my last three fingers which were totally bent over. The operation was carried out on the 30th July and I was back at work carrying out plastering etc with the hand a month after. Thank you again Mr Naqui, as I said I just wish that I had had it done years ago. Should I have any other problems with hands or wrists I shall not hesitate in contacting you.
I injured my right thumb skiing, and was referred to Mr Naqui for surgical repair. This was definitely the right course of action for me. Mr Naqui has been utterly charming, caring and informative at every visit to see him.
My thumb is good as new, and I am able to resume a rather active lifestyle. He and Laura are both consummate professionals - up to date with the latest research, friendly and approachable. it has been a pleasure being treated by them!
