About the Author

Olaf U. Lieberg, M.D., is a retired board certified orthopedic surgeon, educated and trained at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. For 40 years, he was in private practice in Geneva, New York, taking care of numerous fractures in people of all ages, which sparked his interest in studying osteoporosis. In the mid-1980s, he formed the “Osteoporosis Clinic of the Finger Lakes,” where he lectured locally on many orthopedic topics, including osteoporosis.

Being at one time osteoporotic himself, Lieberg saw the need to educate patients on osteoporosis, the most common disease that will affect us all.

Lieberg, along with his wife Elaine, splits his time between the ocean in Juniper, Florida, and New York. He has a family of seven children and seven grandchildren, who live in Michigan, Massachusetts, and New York.
