I saw his nurse, Tracy. She was wonderful. She was so patient as she explained the Prolia injection. She advised me on the type of calcium supplement to take and answered all my questions. I will be using this provider from now on.

Seems like he wanted to get as many patients in as quickly as possible. Didn't feel like he listened to me at all. It's par for the course for DMA. I've seen five different doctors in different specialties and they just keep transferring me to another doctor.
