Professor David Reid took a great amount of time and trouble to explain my current situation, with osteoporosis, showing exemplary courtesy, sympathy and patience, after the radiographer Safaa, who also showed great kindness to me, had performed an up to date scan.
Kate has worked tirelessly to obtain all the information and images needed for this consultation and has been very helpful and always reassuring to me on the telephone. Thank you. I feel very fortunate to have been given the recommendation of Professor David Reid.

Professor Reid and his team responded quickly to my initial enquiry. Prof. Reid was agreeable and approachable, provided timely feedback, and took the time to go through the findings in great details and in a digestible manner.

Professor Reid is amazing!
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I did not know what to do with regards to this until I saw Professor Reid: he put me at ease immediately with his vast level of knowledge and his practical approach. He is very understanding, sincere and funny; I felt like crying initially but he made me laugh!
It was an exceptional experience from start to finish - he is world class!
Kate - his PA - is also very helpful and responds so quickly to questions.
Thanks Professor Reid and Kate.

The doctor was about as good as a doctor can be. Clear, attentive, he was unrushed and very happy to answer all my questions. And above all knowledgeable.

I have been in chronic pain for many years, being passed from pillar to post, without any results.
I meet Professor Reid once in person and once on a teams call, and found out so much in just a short time. I Would defiantly recommend him 100%
