I have had 3 REMS tests in Naples FL. It is called screenmybones. I do not recommend going there. They don't seem to know much, and were not able to compare scan results. I had to figure out myself what my results meant and what changes were significant. Also, I don't know if I can even trust the REMS results, as they were so different from my DEXA results.

Thank you for the heads up. Wouldn't it be nice to have functional doctors who consider the whole body,nutrition, etc. , and time to treat the cause instead of just medicate?
My experience was different. Very knowledgeable and explained in detail.

Just getting started on this info journey, but wanted to share a couple thoughts. Am reading Great Bones and author said there is more than a 90% error rate in DEXA tests between the tester, equipment, and radiologists. I’ve also read from an ob-gyn that there is a 2% variability in a DEXA scan, even on the same equipment by the same personnel and with the same radiologist in rapid succession. Finally, it is my understanding that DEXA scans show bone strength, which can be fooled by some bone drugs, and TEMS shows bone quality. Would love for others to chime in!
