Receive your REMS results.

Your results will be posted into your secure patient portal account, with graphic interpretations to help you understand your risks. See a sample patient report.

4

Discuss your results and next steps toward bone health.

Schedule an optional in-person or zoom meeting with Dr. Bush to talk through your report, receive a more personal explanation of your results and ask questions, and discuss recommended courses of action or beneficial lifestyle changes based on your results. Consult appointments have an additional fee, so look for the scheduling options when making your appointment.

My scan was non-invasive and was not a stressful process. I was in and out quickly, and the consult with Dr. Andy really helped me understand more about my bone health. I was pleasantly surprised!

The scan was very professional and the information provided the perfect baseline to monitor bone health. Will have it done annually and so recommend the Echolight REMS technology!

I was not interested in the prescribed treatment from previous bone density tests. Now I have a better understanding of my physical situation and can act accordingly.
