My consolation with Professor Chinoy was perfect his attention to detail both in my examination and his recommendations as to the best way forward with treating my knee condition was second to none my follow up consultation was also excellent. Peter Ogden

Prof Chinoy has excellent patient care skills. He actively listened to all my concerns and responded in a focused, individualised way rather than merely following protocol.
His knowledge and clinical skills were very apparent.
He summarised our discussion very clearly and outlined the next steps so that I understood exactly what would happen next.
Follow-up paperwork was very timely.
I would highly recommend this lovely, calm and caring doctor.

Professor Chinoy is the loveliest man. I have seen him on numerous occasions with both my husband and my daughter who both have complex rheumatological conditions, which require careful management and ongoing care. Professor Chinoy is caring, knowledgeable and highly qualified in the latest developments surrounding rheumatology. He is a caring, dedicated professional and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. He makes time to listen to you and takes onboard your concerns, helping to reassure and allay fears when you are at a vulnerable time emotionally. Thank you Professor for your ongoing support.

I had multiple scans in various joints to investigate the extent and location of the problems I have been experiencing. Professor Chinoy explained in detail and very clearly what the images revealed. I was given good advice in layman's terms that I could easily understand, and feel that Professor Chinoy is a very personable and genuine character and took a holistic approach to other conditions that could be related to the problems above. I was seen on time and my appointment was not rushed - the main thing was to get to the root causes of my problems with advice on how to alleviate them.
I had an excellent experience.

I saw Dr Chinoy as a private patient. I am baffled by the positive reviews on this website. I found him to be dismissive and curt. I wanted to have some time to ask questions about my condition but he simply said that he couldn't give me any advice as he didn't have access to my records. I left feeling humiliated and guilty for taking up his valuable time, even though I had paid £8 a minute for the privilege of being in his company. I've no idea to this day why he was so unpleasant to me.

Professional profile
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 is also employed by The University of Manchester, where he is actively involved with research and the education of medical students and doctors, and is Programme Director for the Clinical Rheumatology MSc Programme. Professor Chinoy has authored over 130 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals, has presented multiple research abstracts in national and international conferences, and is considered to be a global expert in inflammatory myopathy. He has edited an Oxford Rheumatology Library textbook on Myositis.
Professor Chinoy firmly believes in the importance of clear, open communication with patients and sufferers of musculoskeletal conditions. He sees a wide range of rheumatic diseases at Salford Royal and closely works alongside a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and podiatrists. Many rheumatic diseases cannot be cured, but accurate diagnosis and focused management/treatment can help significantly to improve pain, disability and quality of life.
On completing his medical degree at the University of Nottingham in 1996, Professor Chinoy carried out medical training in Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. 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. In 2009 he became a Consultant Rheumatologist and in 2010 was awarded a Senior Clinical Lectureship in Rheumatology. He was awarded a Chair at The University of Manchester in 2019.
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. Dr Chinoy is also chair of the Euromyositis Registry, a web-based consortium which collects standardised clinical data in over 20 countries. He is a reviewer for a number of peer-reviewed journals and an Associate Editor of BMC Rheumatology.
