One of our orthopedic physicians will make recommendations for your bone health based upon not only your scan results, but also from your answers to the questions on this form, and your clinical exam. Consequently, we are unable to provide the results of the test over the phone. For this reason, it is important that you attend your follow-up appointment. We would be happy to send these results to your primary care physician. Please inform our technician, and we will send the results, along with a comprehensive letter of our recommendations, after your follow-up visit.
