Bone Density Testing

Bone density testing is a quick and painless way to assess your bone health and risk of fracture. We provide bone density testing using dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technology. This technology is considered the gold standard to provide information necessary to diagnose and treat osteoporosis and measure treatment effectiveness.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to complete registration information. Bring your insurance card, photo ID, and copay to the appointment.

If you wear loose fitting clothing without metal (snaps or zippers), you will not need to change into a gown.
