Hi, I am a young adult who has suffered with "calcified tumors" and calcium deposits in mass amounts on my femur bone and the muscles surrounding my hip for 12 yrs now. I now know what Type of doctor I need. MY Question is where can I find a Directory that lists doctors practicing in Othopedic Onocology?? IS there a Website that lists Onocologists by practice?? --- If you know of a Directory or helpful link Please List them for me.

Snowbunn, there is no type of oncologist that only does benign orthopedic tumors. I'm a medical oncologist (retired now). We diagnose and treat malignancies - mostly with chemotherapy.
There are surgeons who specialize in cancer surgery, but it
sounds like you simply need a good orthopedic surgeon as well as a primary care physician. The good news is that with a 12 year history, you do not appear to have an acute life threatening malignant disease.
