The doctor specified a location for the scan? I know it's recommended to use the same machine, same tech, etc., but I went elsewhere b/c I wanted to get the TBS reading. If you are paying out of pocket, I don't understand why a doctor would not simply write the order. What does it matter to him?

I got mine at UC Health Anschutz in Aurora, CO.

Where do you live?

@babs10 I do see him again later this month; blood work for my second reclast infusion (without knowing if the first one is working or not - regardless of BTMs - for my mental health I need to see my bone density numbers with TBS). So will do a bit more research on different places to get DEXA/TBS and ask him to refer me to one of those centers. He told me it is not of utmost importance, just preferred, to get same machine, same tech. Of course, techs quit, machines are relaced, and patients move so how important is it exactly.
