I was delighted with my meeting with Prof Hector Chinoy
He put my mind at rest from the beginning
The prompt and efficient manner that he displayed in dealing with my problem was really very professional
I must say that within 24 hours I had an examination a scan and prognosis
He also has referred me further to a Neurologist with whom he has fully recommended
I could not ask for more

I saw Professor Chinoy at a stage where I was almost immobile. He listened attentively to my description of how my condition had started and developed. He was mindful of any discomfort that I experienced during his examination. His explanation of my condition and his diagnosis was clear and concise and he has been very encouraging about my recovery. I can't thank him enough for getting me back to a point where I can start enjoying life again.

Where do I begin. Professor Hector Chinoy is marvellous! He is knowledgeable and cares. He is the only reason I am in such well health now. It has been a long journey and one in which my past, present and future i have been and continue to be in the best possible hands with Professor chinoy. I have a long term chronic illness that causes daily pain and future worries. Professor Chinoy helped diagnosis my illness and has looked after me extremely well since. I am very thankful to be under his care. He listens to my worries, my needs and frustrations. He takes action quickly and efficiently with great care and consideration. I know I will live the best way I possibly can with Proffesor Chinoy looking after me.

Hector Chinoy is a great physician...he listens, explains everything clearly & immediately puts in place those tests necesssary to enable him to resolve your problem
How many consultants would ring you at 3.30 on a Sunday afternoon to check how you were doing after a consultation & steroid injection the previous Friday ?
And to top it all he is a really nice guy with none of the pretentions of an old school consultant
Would not hesitate to recommend him

Professor Hector Chinoy is a Senior Clinical Lecturer and Consultant Rheumatologist. At Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, he looks after about 1,000 patients per year with a variety of musculoskeletal complaints as part of general rheumatology, specialist neuromuscular, combined psoriatic arthritis-psoriasis clinic, and in-patient work. He is also principal investigator on a number of clinical trials. Outside of the NHS, he has private consulting rooms at BMI Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle, and Spire OrthTeam Manchester Hospital, Didsbury, for both general and specialist conditions, on a Wednesday and Friday evening.

He trained in Rheumatology in the North West from 2001-2009. He completed an Arthritis Research UK Fellowship at The University of Manchester, and was awarded a PhD in 2007.

Research interests include immunogenetic risk factors and how these correlate with novel serological biomarkers and clinical outcomes. He is co-chair of UKMYONET, a national consortium which fosters collaborative research in inflammatory myopathy.
