@guinivere. Since the Prolia is a prescribed medication by the doctor you refer to I recommend that you contact the doctor. The doses of Prolia scheduled closely together in time may very well be a scheduling error but how will you know if you don't ask? When you call or write on your patient portal I recommend that you get a reply directly from the doctor and not from office staff. Also did you already talk with this doctor about any misgivings about Prolia or osteoporosis medication? If you have questions, again, please ask your doctor.

My experience with my endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic was very helpful in deciding if I should consider osteoporosis medication. The endocrinologist spent almost an hour with me at my first visit (assessment) and then another 30 minutes with me after all the test results were back. I've also written to him on the patient portal and received replies. His availability, information, education, and answering my questions helped me to decide to move forward with Evenity. Evenity was recommended because I had a fracture last year and my doctor said I was already doing everything I could on my own (nutrition and exercise) for osteoporosis. Had I not had the fracture he would have recommended a "watch and wait" for a year. The fracture changed that.

Will you call your doctor on Monday? Or write a note on your patient portal this weekend?

When I first contacted the Endocrinology Dept, I looked at the photos & writeups of staff. Her name wasn't there! When I asked office staff how long she had been there, I got nowhere but I had the impression she was new. I have not seen her or talked to her -l everything has been thru the UW portal or phone from assistants. I don't like this at all. I want to stay with UW but I want a different doctor.

Yes I intend to contact her. I also wrote a message o the portal to the efect that I have been aware of many osteoporosis partients who are able to have conversations with their doctors while I have not met or talked with anyone. All I get are messages.
