Kerrie M Reed, MD

After receiving devastating news from an orthopedist about the condition of my knees a couple of months ago, I have been on a quest to find a doctor skilled in the use of non-​surgical techniques to correct the issues which doomed my knees in the first place.
I realized after my first appointment with Dr. Reed at Lakeshore Integrative HealthCare that I have found the doctor that I was searching for. Dr. Reed is a Physiatrist (a doctor who specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and Sports Medicine Specialist, so my initial physical exam was more comprehensive than what I had previously from an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Reed observes how you walk and move and she assesses your form, strength, and function. She identifies the mechanical issues in your body that will need to be corrected in order to prevent further decline in your condition. In my case, the next step is physical therapy.
Note: I intend to update this review once I see the doctor again. I know for people with knee/​joint pain such as myself, it is often hard to find the right type of doctor to get you on the road to recovery without surgery.
