OSSEM | Orthopaedic Surgery, Sport & Exercise Medicine

I had a double hip replacement in Sept 2022 and have such a great result. The recovery surgery pain was nothing compared to the pain I was in before surgery. Many friends were in awe that I was getting both hips done at once, but as they were both so bad, I would not have been able to rehab well if I had done just one at at time. My recovery went extremely well and I was very careful to follow all recommendations and post-op exercises. The care at Ramsay Private hospital was excellent and I can highly recommend Professor Mike Reid for his skill and expertise in completing this surgery. The staff at OSSEM have been wonderful to deal with over the past couple of years with initial and follow-up appointments. My husband decided to go ahead with a knee replacement after accompanying me to my initial consult with Dr Mike. He too has had an excellent outcome and we are both so very thankful to Dr Mike and his team at OSSEM for their skills and care. I continue to be mindful of the contrast with how I was hobbling around with a stick just 2 years ago to my newly regained mobility and I am so very grateful!!!

I had a full knee replacement operation performed by Dr. Mike Reid of OSSEM. From the moment of first consultation through to post operative care, Dr. Reid and his team were excellent and ensured that my recovery was swift and effective. Any questions I had were answered and support was provided throughout the process. I had no post-surgery issues and my knee is functioning with nil pain!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Reid and his fantastic team.

My whole experience with OSSEM has been brilliant! Dr Michael Reid is incredibly knowledgable in his field and professional throughout all my consultations, surgery and post-op visits. The team at OSSEM are second to none! Nurse Sue and Receptionist Di could not do enough for me and were certainly able to answer all my questions and provide me with so much information and clarification of what was going on and what I needed to do in the follow up process. What an incredible team! Can't express the depth of my gratitude!

OSSEM is a great clinic. I have been working with Dr. Lynne Reid for a number of years now for multiple different sports injuries such shoulder injuries and finger injuries, rib injuries and have always achieved a great result. A very patient, knowledgeable and experienced sports doc - she's always my go to.

I 100% recommend Dr Mike Reid and his team at OSSEM if you need any orthopaedic work done. His attention to detail and information provided is second to none. The level of post operative care is incredible and he, and his team, are always available with any questions you have. Nurse Sue is lovely to deal with when cleaning wounds. And last, but definitely not least, the admin team are extremely helpful and do not hesitate to help with anything you need!

Magic Mike, what an amazing, compassionate and truly caring man ! He is a doctor that actually listens to you about your concerns. A rare gem in this world. I unfortunately got an infection in my surgical wound when I was recovering at home and I was extremely worried. Dr Mike looked at the infection and as he was about to leave he stopped and said “ You know I’ll look after you “. Simple statements like that make patients feel so much better already.
Dr Mike always stops and takes time to answer your questions and doesn’t quickly rush you out the door because your time slot is up. For me I know he spent time calculating what the best medical approach was for me and my double hip replacement.
The OSSEM team are all incredible. With the receptionists nothing is too much trouble for them. Nurse Sue comes with years of experience in the orthopaedic recovery field and has a very approachable personality.
I asked Dr Mike why he was an orthopaedic surgeon and he replied “because he likes to help people “. That’s the best answer any patient would love to hear.
So if your knee or hip/s require a fantastic surgeon, look at all the comments on this page.
Thank you Dr Mike, my teaching career will be back on track for a few more years which has made me a very happy person indeed !!

A big thank you to Dr Mike and Lynne Reid for everything they have done for my son since his knee injury. From moment of his injury to his operation they have gone above and beyond our expectations. They both have so much knowledge and their care for my son during this time I have never experienced better anywhere. I highly recommend OSSEM for any orthopaedic surgery or sporting injury.

Staff anticipated my needs and took action without being asked.
Polite, considerate personal service is way above the norm.
My diagnosis and treatment was very simple and effective.

Amazingly kind and compassionate Doctors & staff. Very efficient & friendly. Everyone at OSSEM go above & beyond to ensure the highest quality of care. We are always cared for exceptionally. We can not recommend OSSEM highly enough. Thank you Mike & Lynne & all the staff at OSSEM for everything you do.

Dr Lynne and Prof Michael Reid are passionate about sports and being regular runners, cyclist and have sporty kids of their own, have a great understanding of the journey - from diagnosis, providing options in tackling the problem through to healing. Their clinic is a great space and centrally located in Cairns. Staff are helpful and friendly.

I would like to express my gratitude to Prof Reid, Dr Lynne Reid, and the rest of the administration team at OSSEM for your help, support, and professionalism for the surgery I had yesterday.
I feel that you show genuine compassion and run your business very efficiently with a very high level of care.
Collectively you are leaps and bounds ahead of most other health care professionals out there.
Keep up the good work guys! And thanks again.

Highly recommend OSSEM. Dr Mike Reid and Dr Lynne Reid have provided management for both my husband and our daughter. The team are professional, extremely thorough and caring.

I cannot be more thankful for the medical advice and support provided by Dr. Reid and the whole OSSEM team. My son who is a middle-long distance runner felt some pain in his foot early this year and Dr. Reid diagnosed his condition straight away and treated him promptly. He is recovering now and has since been back running. Without OSSEM's support, his injury would have been much worse. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend OSSEM! Dr Mike Reid performed ACL reconstructions on both of my knees and I am so happy with the end result. I suffered for years with chronic instability and now I am back running after a toddler, playing social netball, even doing burpees and skipping at the gym - something I hadn't done in 7 years!

The process was seamless between Dr Mike Reid's office and the Cairns Private Hospital. He also had great recommendations for knee braces and a physio post op.

He has a really friendly and caring bedside manner, and I felt well informed through the process. Highly recommend!

I couldn't have had a more wonderful experience with Dr Mike and Dr Lynne Reid and all their staff. Mike knew exactly what to do with my situation and I wouldn't trust anyone else - will be back for my next knee! :)

I'm walking pain free again thanks to the team at OSSEM. A very Professional and helpful team throughout my treatment.

Such an amazing team. The level of care and concern with treating our sons sports injury was incredible. I highly recommend them and thank you again for your help.

Wow. This is what every patient wants, friendly, fast, professional service. They certainly have not disappointed me. Oh what a high standard of professional service, right from the reception to seeing the specialist. Would highly recommend OSSEM..
