Prof Reid graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a degree in medicine in 1975, the same university where he would later be appointed to Professor. He currently holds the position of Professor of Rheumatology and Head of School for Medicine and Dentistry. He later retired in 2015 and since then has become an Emeritus Professor for the university.

Prof Reid has held several professional positions including being on the board of trustees for the National Osteoporosis Society and Chair of the Board for 4 years.

Prof Reid is an active member of the research community, having published extensively on osteoporosis and DEXA scanning. He has over 400 peer-reviewed articles to his name and was invited to present his findings at conferences around the world. His special focus was bone density measurement and studying new treatments for osteoporosis.

Explanation

Professor Reid is an extremely knowledgeable doctor but does not speak down to you or make you feel stupid. He explained in great detail my test results and my diagnosis' which I was very interested to hear and it answered my many questions. I am so grateful to him for spending so much time as my case is very complex but I did not feel rushed at any point. Both Professor Reid and his secretary had outstanding communication before and after my appointment. I was able to send over scans, reports and letters and Professor Reid read these before my appointment which was very helpful and for me, it was lovely to be able to 'fill in the blanks' rather than having to explain my entire medical history! His secretary gave me extremely prompt answers to any questions I had. I got an appointment quickly and at a date and time that suited me extremely well. I got my clinic letter within 24 hours which was amazing and the advice that Professor Reid has given me and my local medical team is invaluable and has ensured the treatment that I get is the one most appropriate for me and this then means my quality of life is sustained. Thank you so much

Professor Reid's kindness and care are absolutely unparalleled.His manner is gentle, constructive and supportive and this made me feel so much better. On top of that ,not only did he see me during lockdown but he insisted on collecting the osteoporosis medicine from the pharmacy himself in order to minimise any risk to me! Really could not do better.
