She is incredibly smart and has made a great name for herself, but she doesn’t respond well to questions from patients. I flew from our ski chalet in the western part of Canada to Ontario (4,200 km) for my appointment with her. She kept me waiting for 4 hours then told me our appointment would be by FaceTime! Then when she finally got on the phone, she said I had ten minutes as she had to speak at conference! In her defence, when I told her that was unacceptable as I just flew from British Columbia to see her, she called me on my drive home from her office (not close) and said okay ask whatever you want for how as long as it takes. She wanted me on Prolia, followed by her own method for getting me off of it. When I told her I had no intention of giving up skiing, she said I needed an anabolic. After she did a bone scan (I was taken out by a dog and we were worried about my spine as my back was very sore … but no fractures!), my follow up experience allowed very limited time. I have yet to see her face to face, as I was back in BC. I wish I could see her 3-6 months after starting the bio-similar she is putting me on (I get my first shot with training in April 11), I sent her an email asking about monitoring bio markers, etc, so I’ll see what she comes with back with.

Hi Gently,
I am close to Stanford and would love to know who you see at Stanford.
Please send me a pm. My numbers are severe.
Thank you for posting.
