Most people with osteopenia are initially treated by their primary care provider. However, once the family physician has diagnosed a condition such as osteopenia, he or she will likely refer the patient to an endocrinologist, a specialist who treats metabolic and hormonal conditions. Other specialists like rheumatologists, internists or geriatricians may also get involved in your treatment.
