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.

I have been referred to Professor Reid in regard to treatment for Osteoporosis.
I feel most fortunate. Not only was he most charming but also immensely helpful and unhurried. Everything clearly explained. Next step a bone density scan.

I had a consultation with Professor Reid on October 8th 2018 followed, the same morning, with a dexa scan. What a delightful, caring man. His knowledge of Osteoporosis and all the relevant treatments is second to none. He gave me so much information and I left his clinic knowing so much more than I had ever found out before.I now have to decide the best way forward for me.

My wife Diana saw Professor Reid last Tuesday and felt very fortunate.
Not only was he most charming but also immensely helpful and unhurried,
explaining everything so clearly.

I am full of praise for Professor Reid for his charming, highly professional manners and an extensive knowledge, in my case on the subject of the Paget's disease of the bones.
I very much appreciated his unhurried and very comprehensive explanations, and I feel I have benefited immensely from his expertise. I highly recommend him.
