I think if someone is looking for someone who specializes in osteoporosis treatment, the best search is "metabolic bone specialist."In general, I would agree that an orthopedist is probably not the best option, but my first specialist was an orthopedic surgeon who is Chief of the Metabolic Bone Disease Service at HSS in NYC. I was referred to him - otherwise I never would have found him. My endocrinologist is not current on osteoporosis treatment and isn't interested in becoming so. My new doctor is a rheumatologist who specializes in osteoporosis and I love her.

Totally agree re: Prolia.
