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.

I find it unbelievable that a doctor should prescribe any medication of this magnitude without an in person visit. It's a good way to get sued. I had an oncologist who preferred to rely on staff rather than in person visits. I moved on to a different oncologist. I was put on Prolia because I have osteopenia and am on a drug (Letrozole) which is known for causing bone loss. It's every 6 months, and been working decently. I'm transitioning off to another drug in 6 months as I will have completed my time on Letrozole by then and Medicare will no longer cover it (for osteopenia). By all means, get another doctor.
