Personalized Treatment Plan
The right osteoporosis treatment plan tailored to your age, gender and unique health needs can prevent injuries and even halt the disease’s progression. Our doctors carefully evaluate the causes and severity of your bone loss, which helps us choose the most effective treatment for you. Our team includes physical therapists and nutritionists who work with you to develop an exercise program and calcium-rich diet.
Doctors Read Your Bone Density Results
At many facilities, a technologist performs your bone density test and a radiologist flags any abnormal numbers a few days later. Here, the physician overseeing your treatment will work with the radiologist to interpret your bone density test results. This leads to a more informed and accurate diagnosis.
Expertise with High-Risk Patients
We specialize in treating the unique health needs of patients who have bone loss or develop osteoporosis after an organ transplant surgery or breast cancer. We also see a high number of male patients with risk factors such as liver disease.
Highly Specialized Team
Our collective expertise allows us to develop the most effective osteoporosis treatment for you. All of our doctors are board-certified endocrinologists. Our team also includes doctors certified in geriatric medicine and clinical densitometry, which is the study of bone health.
Breakthrough Research
We are shaping the future of osteoporosis treatment through our research work and clinical trial program -- in which you may participate. Duke researchers led the clinical trial on Reclast, and helped to discover that it prevents fractures and prolongs life expectancy in elderly patients.
