Endocrinologist in Florida
I live in a small town in the Panhandle of Florida. I have Osteoporosis and only have a GP who is adamant about Prolia. Does anyone know of an endocrinologist in North Florida or in Alabama that specializes in Osteoporosis. I'm searching on- line, but it's so difficult to find a specialist in this area.

I found my endocrinologist who treats osteoporosis patients at a large academic medical center.
Just wondering, why is your GP adament about Prolia?
The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL might be a consideration.

Thank you! I have another appointment with him to discuss again. On the phone, his nurse went to ask for an alternative and he said he was only recommending Prolia and it was my right to refuse medication.

You can put in the specialist, the region, the state, etc.. you will have a list of all the endocrinologists. You may even be able to search by osteoporosis as a sub specialty.
