@sunnyflower, @lioness, @artscaping,@dappy, I just found a few sites for bone med and specialist rec's that I thought others might find helpful. Healthlines is a site I've used sucessfully in the past because it gives a doc's credentials and also patient named reviews: https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/osteoporosis/find-a-specialist-who-treats-osteoporosis ; https://americanbonehealth.org/bone-density/understanding-the-bone-density-t-score-and-z-score/ ; https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/osteoporosis-treatment/art-20046869 ; https://www.bones.nih.gov/health-info/bone/osteoporosis/find-doctor . Probably more than anyone would want to explore but think I'll be giving one of the highly patient recommended specialists in my city a call for appt. Best to all for a, gulp, Oct 1st already??? day.
