“A doctor who specializes in osteoporosis”, I can’t find such a thing. I can’t find an endocrinologist who specializes in osteoporosis taking new patients. Very disheartening to me.
I hope it is a big help to you.

I don't know where you live, but here's a link to Johns Hopkins in Maryland. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/metabolic-bone-center/treatment-options
You may also want to look at the Menopause Society website to find a doctor who has certification to work with menopausal women. Some treat osteoporosis. Here's the link: https://portal.menopause.org/NAMS/NAMS/Directory/Menopause-Practitioner.aspx
Finding new doctors is a challenge. I found an endocronologist who has a special interest in osteoporosis, but I couldn't get an appointment until 9 months from now.
As I've said before (and will countless times over and over again), women's health is not a priority in the USA. And, we all suffer for it.

Depending on where you live, you might have better luck with a larger facility (hospital, large medical center) that advertises that they treat osteoporosis. You know - they might have a Web page like "Endocrinology: Osteoporosis program" or some such thing.
