Thank you so much for the information. I am in Corvallis. I don’t know why it didn’t come up when I searched Echolight REMS in Oregon. But I put Osteostrong in and got the scheduling info. So appreciate that. I just got declined for my first choice of endocrinologist. Trying to see a rheumatologist or endocrinologist in OR, is near impossible… you have to be really sick to get in. While newly diagnosed with osteoporosis I want to get ahead of this and gather the resources to do so. I even was willing to fly to a Mayo Clinic in Arizona and asked for an appointment and was denied. Either no appointments or wasn’t sick enough. I’ve given my PCP 3 more endocrinologists names to try but am not hopeful. So I’ll get my REMS SCAN and hope the numbers are better so I feel I have time to get into an endocrinologist this year some time to talk meds. Some of the med are difficult and need to be stage with others post or prior for best results plus the side effect. Not sure my PCP has that range. Thanks again for the echolight REMS in OR. At least I have a tool to monitor my osteoporosis without having to get a referral.

I live near Corvallis. I see Dr Cathcart, an endocrinologist based in Corvallis at Samaritan Endocrinology. My primary clinic made the referral.
