Mammoth has a small hospital and clinic network, and residents who need an endocrinologist usually face a trip to Reno or over the passes to the Valley. Treatment is matched to fracture risk. Lower risk may mean calcium, vitamin D, weight-bearing exercise and fall prevention. Higher risk calls for medication with real evidence behind it: bisphosphonates by mouth or infusion, denosumab injections or bone-building therapies such as teriparatide and romosozumab.
About Osteoporosis Treatment
Follow-up is on a schedule: repeat bone density at the right interval, calcium and vitamin D monitoring and a check that the medication is tolerated and working.
Stable patients from Mammoth Lakes can often do follow-up visits virtually between scans.
Spring Endocrinology sees patients from Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Bishop, Crowley Lake and the rest of Mammoth Lakes. Mammoth Lakes is reached over Tioga Pass in summer or via Highway 395 and 178 the rest of the year, and most Mammoth patients combine an in-person visit with virtual follow-ups.

Both mean lower than normal bone density on a DEXA scan; osteopenia is milder. Treatment depends on your overall fracture risk, not the label alone, which is why we calculate that risk for every patient.
Not everyone does. If your fracture risk is low, calcium, vitamin D, exercise and fall prevention may be enough. If it is high, medication substantially lowers the chance of a hip or spine fracture.
The jaw and femur side effects are real but very rare, and for people at high fracture risk the benefit far outweighs them. We screen for risk factors, coordinate with your dentist when needed and plan treatment breaks.
