My orthopedic dr. tells me there is a spec... - Paget’s Support
My orthopedic dr. tells me there is a special Dr. who treats pagets, can you give me that name?
Sorry think I may have misunderstood your question - I saw my endocrinologist for Paget's. Hope this is what you were asking. Maybe do some research on endocrinologists in your area that specialise in Paget's as they normally specialise in diabetes.
Found this link that might interest you - scroll down to see who deals with what as far as Paget's is concerned.

Those with Paget's are often (but not always) looked after by either a Rheumatologist or an Endocrinologist. However, it will depend on the services in your area. Sometimes there is a consultant in another department with a special interest in Paget's.

I am looked after by DR Keen at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital and he is said to be one of the leading specialists in Pagets - his waiting list is long but he is very good.
Why do you say Dr Keen is very good?How long did he take to diagnose Pagets? What treatment did he recommend? Thank you for your help

Hello Redon. The Pagets Support answer explains its usually a rheumatologist or endocrinologist, depending where you live. If you are in the UK, there are hospitals that are designated Pagets Centres of Excellence. The Pagets Association website is a goldmine of support and research-backed advice about symptoms, treatments, hospitals etc. We drive 3 hours from Dorset to RNOH Stanmore but it’s worth it : )
