Recommend Specialist in Osteoporosis in Charlotte? (gynecologist, health care, nurse)

[DotsOnMyShells]

Can anyone recommend a Blue Cross doctor/provider in Charlotte who could help with osteoporosis?

OrthoCarolina Clinic have recommended finding a primary care doctor who specializes in such diagnosis and treatment. Open to all suggestions, including a gynecologist or nurse with relevant experience.


Thank you for any help.

(Yesterday was Monday --most people's busy day -- perhaps better luck today!)

No suggestions? I am very unfamiliar with the US health care system. Doctors don't seem to know of/refer patients to other practitioners here (?). Without a personal recommendation, what should one do? Google and take a chance on a doctor who may be able to help? Go to a large general hospital (if so, which?) ...

Unfortunately, osteoporosis is not a condition in which doctors specialise, exactly. It's more an area with which they might gain experience, possibly through a specialty like gynaecology or orthopaedics or elderly care.

Again, thanks for any thoughts or suggestions to help in this search .
