Tammy Chiesa, M.D. is an internal medicine physician who specializes in bone health in general and osteoporosis in the adult population. For the past 30 years, Dr. Chiesa has been practicing internal medicine in the St. Paul area. She earned her medical degree with the highest distinction from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, followed by residency training in internal medicine at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, where she served as chief resident. “Osteoporosis is very common, especially among postmenopausal women, and it is grossly undertreated. Of those diagnosed with osteoporosis, only 20 percent are being actively treated. We can do better. There is a huge need to look at the underlying reasons why women (and men) have fractures — and to treat them,” she said. “Ultimately, reducing osteoporosis rates, and treating osteoporosis effectively, could really help improve quality of life and reduce morbidity for many people.”.
