Osteoporosis & Metabolic Bone Disease Center
The Osteoporosis & Metabolic Bone Disease Center provides a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis and metabolic bone diseases such as Paget's disease, osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, disorders of calcium and other minerals.
With multiple specialists on staff, the center takes a global approach to preventing, treating and studying bone disease. Wide ranges of metabolic bone diseases are treated, such as Paget's disease and osteomalacia, but osteoporosis represents the overwhelming majority of the cases.
One of the objectives of the Osteoporosis & Metabolic Bone Disease Center is to educate patients and the community about this disease. Since many women with osteoporosis do not even know they have the disease, it is important to know who is at risk, what the symptoms are, and how to take preventive measures.
Physicians at the center have extensive experience with tailoring medication and using high-tech treatments to prevent additional bone loss and promote new bone growth.
