Prof D Reid sets a very high standard I wish all consultants were like. My poor mum has had severe osteoporosis diagnosed recently, a total shock to her, and not only did Prof Reid phone her that night to let her know in a kind manner, she then went in for an appointment and he spent the whole hour explaining what was wrong, what it meant and what she could do about it. He is a forward thinking, innovative consultant who has a lovely bedside manner and I too will be having a Dexa scan shortly with complete confidence in the service he offers. And if that's not enough, having digested all of the information we had been given by him, we phoned and contacted him for answers to our questions on top of our consultation, which he has been more than happy to answer. We feel very confident the right plan will be in place for mum. Brilliant!

Professor Reid took the time to understand all of my background and to answer my many questions related to my bone density. He is clearly an expert in his field and I greatly appreciated having the benefit of this expertise.
All of this was done in a charming and personable manner.

Based on my first appointment with him Prof. Reid is not only an expert in his subject matter but also happy to answer questions and concerns and provide you with different options before making his recommendation.
He considers his patients holistically - which is essential.

I found Prof. David M Reid very approachable, a good listener and astute. He quickly picked up that my NHS Osteoporosis FRAX assessment was unusually high and reassessed me, which reduced my future risk prognosis by 50%. Both this assessment and his valued advice has empowered me to make a more informed choice for my future health.
