Considering surgery can feel overwhelming - and understandably so. That’s why we begin every journey with an open, honest conversation.

Many patients assume surgery is the only solution, but it’s often the last step we consider. We start with understanding your symptoms, exploring non-surgical treatments, and only recommend surgery when it’s truly the best option for long-term relief.

The goal is always the same: getting you back to doing what you love, with less pain and more confidence.

If hip pain is slowing you down - whether it’s a constant ache, stiffness after sitting, or discomfort that wakes you at night - it’s worth getting to the root of the problem.

☑️ Do you find yourself limping after a short walk?
☑️ Is bending down or putting on shoes becoming tricky?
☑️ Has your hip pain been getting worse despite rest or medication?

These could be potential signs of conditions such as osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint issues. The earlier you get a clear diagnosis, the more treatment options you’ll have, and the better your chances of keeping your independence and mobility.

If hip pain is affecting your quality of life, don’t wait until it becomes unbearable. Chat to your GP or book an appointment with Dr. Reid:

If you’ve been to our practice, you’ve probably met Margo before you’ve even seen me. She’s the friendly voice on the phone, the warm smile at the front desk, and the person making sure everything runs like clockwork behind the scenes.

Margo’s warmth, attention to detail, and dedication to our patients set the tone for the care we give. So in honour of Women’s Month, I want to celebrate her - not just for what she does, but for who she is. We’re lucky to have you, Margo!

If your knees are aching, stiff, or swollen more days than not, it might be time to delve a little deeper.

- Are you avoiding stairs or long walks?
- Is your sleep disturbed due to knee discomfort?
- Are pain meds no longer working as well as they used to?

These could potentially be signs of degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis, and early intervention can make all the difference in preventing long-term damage or loss of mobility.

If knee pain is affecting your quality of life, don’t wait. Chat to your GP or book an appointment with Dr Reid:
