Come join our Osteoporosis Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) where you’ll have extended quality time with two experienced practitioners: primary care physician Amy Culver, M.D., and rheumatologist Brent Culver, M.D. These doctors offer two separate, back-to-back 45-minute appointments to tackle questions and concerns surrounding low bone density (osteopenia) and osteoporosis.

During this 90-minute SMA, discussion topics include:

• Calcium, vitamin D and supplement intake.
• The role of exercise in bone health.
• The normal course of bone loss over time.
• Who needs treatment, why and for how long.
• Risks, benefits and safety of medication management for osteoporosis.

Note: These are two separate back-to-back appointments. You will be billed for each visit.

Locations: Palo Alto Medical Foundation, South Bay, Santa Cruz.
