Which doctor is best to treat Osteoporosis?

I was treated by an orthopedist for a compression fracture, and he said nothing about getting a DEXA scan, even though I hadn't fallen. My mother always viewed doctors as gods. I have a much more skeptical opinion. 🙂

Not only did my PCP not order one (11 yrs)) with him but later had an xray stating osteopenia, still a flag. Then in 2021 compression fx missed on xray and yr later, vitamin d deficiency all adding up to osteoporosis. You do not get good care anymore. Shoving patients to nurses and practioners and they dont look at bloodwork and get an overall picture of someones health. They just send you to a specialist and have no brains now. Have to beg for an MRI and tell them what you want instead of getting good care !! Looking for new PCP now , hopefully one who doesnt shove his patients to nurses. 😵💫
