Major osteoporosis treatment centers
Sometimes people want to know where the best places are to get treated for osteoporosis. Of course there are many good doctors, but in terms of "name" programs, I can think of a few. Please add to the list if you know of a good one. For exm
Mayo Clinic, Minneapolis
Johns Hopkins, Baltimore
Hospital for Special Surgery, NYC
Massachusetts General endocrine unit , Boston

Hi @klw123 I'm in NYC. I went to HSS in Manhattan and saw Dr. Joseph Lane. He's the Chief of the Metabolic Bone Disease Service there. I highly recommend him. I also have seen Dr. Nicole Leung at NYU in Manhattan. She's a rheumatologist who specializes in osteoporosis. I highly recommend her as well. Best wishes to you moving forward.
I am in Michigan any doctor recommendations?
I would go anywhere for a good endocrinologist. I havent found one that I really trust, that sees me as an individual. I feel like I'm a number filing through the office and we all get the same treatment plan. How do you judging a "good Dr.?"
I live in SE Coastal Georgia. Would be willing to travel for consultations at an osteoporosis clinic. Recommendations? Was told Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville is not accepting new patients unless you are already established in one department and are referred to another.
My rheumatologist at Cleveland Clinic referred me to a metabolic bone specialist at the Clinic. I have not seen her yet.
Me too! Tampa Bay area
I’m almost 65 years old and have been on Tymlos for almost a year - I’ll do
A dexa next month to see if it is working .
But I really dread the decision of what to take afterwards to maintain bone gains .
All the options sound terrible to me . I live in New Jersey - so I’m not too far from HSS in NY. ( though I’d rather not commute into NY) can you please share with me what the experts told you about reclast versus the other options ?
