Rajesh K. Jain, MD, specializes in endocrinology and focuses on metabolic bone diseases. This includes osteoporosis, osteopenia, calcium disorders (including hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism), Vitamin D deficiency, Paget's disease, and other metabolic bone disease. He is certified by the International Society of Clinical Densitometry to read and interpret bone density testing.
Dr. Jain conducts research in a variety of areas within osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease. Some of the areas he conducts research in include trabecular bone score, the effects of physical activity and body fat on bone, diabetes-related fracture risk, and differences in fracture risk factors in racial and ethnic minorities. He is also an investigator for clinical trials in hypoparathyroidism.
