Professor David Reid, Consultant Rheumatologist, is a leading specialist in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis. From August 2025, his clinical focus will be dedicated to patients concerned about osteoporosis and those seeking expert interpretation of DEXA scans, an area in which he is internationally recognised. He offers self-pay consultations remotely (via Zoom or Teams), as well as in-person appointments at 25 Harley Street and King Edward VII’s Hospital in London. He also sees patients on demand at HCA Hospital at The Shard in London and at Albyn Hospital in Aberdeen.

Prof Reid graduated in Medicine (MBChB) from the University of Aberdeen in 1975, where he later became Professor of Rheumatology before retiring in 2015. He now holds the title of Emeritus Professor. His distinguished career includes serving as Chair of the Board of Trustees for the National Osteoporosis Society and continuing to advise the Royal Osteoporosis Society as a Senior Medical Advisor and Fundraising Ambassador.

Awarded an MBE in the 2021 New Year Honours for his services to osteoporosis and charity, Prof Reid has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers. His pioneering work in bone density measurement, DEXA technology, and novel bone-building therapies continues to shape best practice in osteoporosis care.
