People on Coumadin should avoid vitamin k, it will reverse their anti coagulation. Just an aside.

Your doctor doesn't sound very up-to-date. He's absolutely wrong about K. Also, a doctor who doesn't answer questions and won't explain things is not a good doctor. Work on finding a new doctor.
This isn't medication we're talking about. I don't see any harm in doing what you want to do with D and K vitamins, assuming you are not taking mega-doses. The usual recommendation for osteoporosis is to take D3 and K2. I personally take 3000 UI D3 a day, and 1000 mcg K2-MK4. Vitamin D is more or less a trial-and-error process for each person to determine what you need to stay in a certain range.
Try it. Maybe take 2000 IU D3 daily. Get a blood test in three months, and see what it looks like. Then adjust D3 up or down by 1000 if needed.
