Dr DeSapri seems competent and likable, but I think there needs to be another doctor who also specializes in women's bone health. Her staff isn't very responsive when trying to make an appt. As I understand it, Dr DeSapri is only in the office to see patients a couple of days a week? As already mentioned, I waited 1 hour past my appt time before seeing her.
