Professor Hector Chinoy 2020-08-01 Person 5 5 0

After suffering for 5 weeks with painful swollen hands and feet, which our GPs could not diagnose, we had a consultation with Dr Hector Chinoy. Immediately we felt at ease as he listened intently, asked relevant questions followed by a through examination of all the affected areas. Following further discussion and explaining his thoughts he arranged for bloods to be taken immediately after our visit. A DECT scan was also arranged at the Spire, Didsbury for the following week, the results of which would provide the diagnosis whether the problem was Gout or Rheumatoid Arthritus. This gave us great confidence and we looked forward to our appointment with Dr Chinoy in 2 weeks time. Wonderful news - Gout and not Rheumatoid Arthritus, Dr Chinoy went through the scan results with us, gave us information from UK Gout Society to show foods which would help to reduce the purines in my system and foods which I should not eat. Medications for the future were suggested and Dr Chinoy will liaise with my GP, detailing the meeting sending a copy to ourselves. Dr Chinoy is brilliant and would recommend him as a great rheumatologist. Gordon and Ann Lyon
