Which doctor is best to treat Osteoporosis?

I’ve had osteoporosis for about 15 years; my new PCP has referred me to an endocrinologist. Why would that be necessary after so much time I’ve been taking raloxifene without problems

Maybe your new PCP doesn't feel s/he has the expertise to manage it, or after 15 years, thinks it is time for a change (due to your own advancing age) and wants you to see an expert.
Or maybe s/he is a referral queen/king. My PCP sure is -- she feels it is her job to adroitly refer out to specialists.
