Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

He has developed a specialist interest in contemporary bunion correction techniques and uses modern fixation systems where appropriate. His approach is focused on accurate correction of the underlying deformity, maintaining or restoring foot function and helping patients return to normal activities as efficiently and safely as possible.

Patient-Centred Approach

Mr Nazir believes that good surgical care begins with an accurate diagnosis and a clear understanding of the patient’s goals.

His consultations are designed to provide patients with an honest assessment of their condition and a balanced discussion of both surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Surgery is recommended only when it is appropriate and when the expected benefits outweigh the risks.

His aim is to combine extensive surgical experience with modern techniques and personalised care, helping patients achieve a successful outcome and return to the activities that matter to them.
