I was diagnosed with osteoporosis several years ago, treated it with prescribed medication for nearly 3,5 years, but the recent DEXA bone density scan revealed that the treatment did not work. The report on the scan results had been made by Dr Reid, Reumatology and Osteoporosis specialist. The report was written in a very clear way, I decided to get more information on the further treatment of my condition from Dr Reid. It was very easy and quick to get an appointment for consultation thanks to the Dr Reid' assistant’s prompt work. Dr Read is truly invested in his patients’ health. His enthusiasm for his work is apparent from the moment you first meet him in his office or, in my case, via video link, making for a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. He pays close attention to detail and takes into account a variety of factors when prescribing a treatment plan. Dr. Reid also works hard to keep up with the latest medical advances, including treatments and the best and newest approved medications available to ensure that his patients are receiving the best possible care. He is extremely professional, efficient and took the time to listen to my concerns and worked together with me to come up with the best course of action. He took the time to explain the diagnosis and treatments in detail, making sure I understood all the details fully. On top of that, he has a very calming presence and sense of humour that made me feel at ease during the consultation. He has provided me and my GP with a clinical letter with the detailed description of my condition and the possible way of further treatment. I’m very pleased with my experience and highly recommend Dr Reid, without any reservations, to anyone looking for a top-notch osteoporosis expert.

Professor Reid is a wonderful caring professional. He is one of the worlds leading specialists in osteoporosis and I’m very lucky to have him as my physician looking after my treatment plan for this debilitating condition.

This doctor is outstanding. I have had the pleasure of being treated by him myself and recommending him to my mother for treatment. His clinical skills and knowledge are first rate and at the same time he is a kind, approachable person who clearly really wants to help his patients. For those interested, he is incredibly modest about his colossal research output. If any rheumatology issue comes up for yourself or anyone your care about, I can’t recommend Professor David enough.

Professor Reid was a very pleasant doctor. He put me at ease and had a lovely manner. He was very thorough in his examination and listened to me describe my symptoms with genuine concern. I felt he answered all of my questions and gave appropriate advice.

Profile

Professor David Reid is Emeritus Professor of Rheumatology at the University of Aberdeen and was previous Head of the School of Medicine & Dentistry at the University.

He is a consultant rheumatologist and has been involved in providing specialist osteoporosis services with a particular emphasis on bone densitometry for 30 years. He therefore has a special interest in the use and interpretation of DXA or DEXA the main measurement tool.

He has over 300 original papers and reviews, largely on his research interests which include the utility of bone mass assessment, assessment of risk of fracture, secondary osteoporosis, glucocorticoid osteoporosis and the assessment of long-term disease activity and drug adverse effects in rheumatic diseases.

He was Chair of the Board of Trustees of the UK National Osteoporosis Society from 2008-2012 and has previously chaired their Research Grants Committee and Medical Board. Until late 2013 he was the Chair of the Arthritis Research UK Clinical Studies Group with responsibility for advising on the needs for clinical trials in bone diseases. He has been a member of numerous national committees most recently including the UK Medical Schools Council, the UK Health Education Advisory Committee and Scottish Stratified Medicine Innovation Centre Board.

He is now undertaking NHS locums in rheumatology and practicing privately in osteoporosis and acute rheumatology in London and Aberdeen. He is a great advocate for new and evolving therapies for osteoporosis.
