Osteoporosis specialist recommendation

Post new topic

Hi Everyone!

My name is Talab and I am looking for a recommended Osteoporosis (bone thinning) specialist for my mother since I want to bring her to Singapore for treatment.

I am in touch with Mt. Alverina but it seems most their specialists are into sports injuries and surgery, etc.

Any doctors you would recommend for the bone thinning condition (Osteoporosis)?

Thank you so much!

If Osteoporosis is bone cancer (at least I think so), try the Oncology department of SGH or the National Cancer Centre.

Thanks a lot Beppi!
My mother has bone thinning, when bones become thin from old age, etc.

Cheers,
Talab
