In early 2000, Dr. Reid’s wife, Marilyn, was diagnosed with a benign tumor of the brain. During their quest to find the best surgeon in the world, Dr. Reid was encouraged to explore the tremendous benefits of the microscope by the physician who performed Marilyn’s’ successful surgery. Because of the enhanced information from magnification, Marilyn was skiing 6 weeks after the surgery. The exact same operation performed in 1970, before neurosurgeons microscopes, had an 80% mortality rate.
The desire to be a better clinician inspired Dr. Reid to purchase, train and now use an operating room microscope for all of his procedures. Read more about Dr. Reid's Microscope Pioneer goals here:http://tahoedentalartistry.com/microscope-pioneer/
