Professor Reid has been monitoring my osteoporosis and advising on when to pause and restart treatment. As other reviewers have said, he is unhurried in his approach, takes the time to explain matters clearly and listens well. Whilst my own situation may be relatively simple compared to that others face, I would happily recommend him

Saw Professor Reid for a consultation on New Year's Eve. He spent plenty of time listening carefully to my concerns and examined me thoroughly.
Highly recommended.

I met with Professor Reid on the 7th of December 2018 in Aberdeen to obtain advice on taking Alendronic Acid for Osteoporosis and the effect it has on my dental implants.
Professor Reid was very pleasant and took time in explaining in detail and took away all the fears I had. He is a kind and caring doctor and I thank him for his advice.

I travelled from overseas to visit Professor Reid on 21 November 2018, followed the same day with a dexa scan, the results of which were provided to me less than 24 hours later. Professor Reid is an extremely knowledgeable doctor and a very caring person. His knowledge of Osteoporosis and all the relevant treatments surpassed my expectations. I now feel more at ease with how to cope with Osteoporosis and I shall be returning to his Clinic on Monday to commence treatment. Thank you Professor.
