Meeting was informative and the doctor very knowledgeable about the various drug treatments. I was a bit surprised there was not discussion about exercise and weight bearing options...although maybe she felt my situation was more dire and drug options her strong recommendation so focused there. I will do my research and revert back with any questions and/or a decision....I always try to avoid drugs when I can. I also want to better understand how these drugs work to build bone.

I am very grateful for the care I have received from Dr. Vakharia. She has been a great listener and guide as I have been trying to get back on track after a long gap which occurred after my relocation to Massachusetts from the New York area. I had experienced some difficulty with some of my medications in the past, but with Dr. Vakharia's guidance I have been able to reach the optimum dosages that she recommended. I feel that Dr. Vakharia has guided me in a very positive direction.
