Weakly positive ANAs - best rheumatologist?

All, just want to say thanks to everyone for their advice. My raynauds is getting worse and I’m getting weird spontaneous bruising on my fingers and face aswell as some other symptoms. I posted a month or so ago and was advised by lots of lovely people to go to my GP. Well finally a GP has taken me seriously and did loads of blood tests. Apparently everything came back normal except I’ve got weakly positive ANAs so she said that, and my symptoms, merits referal to a rheumatologist. I’m lucky enough to have private healthcare insurance through my husband’s company so am wondering if anyone knows of a good rheumatologist in the Reading/Wokingham area?

Thanks to everyone that encouraged me to go to the docs, as I had been fobbed off a few times and was at the point of giving up!
