Rheumatology Associates of North Jersey has been a premier center for osteoporosis for more than 10 years. We have perfomed thousands of Bone Density Scans (DXAs) on the latest and best equipment. We scan both hips and have the capabilty to perform a Lateral Vertebral Assessment, a scan of the side of the spine. This scan is used to evaluate abnormalites seen on a regular scan to ensure your spine has no fractures.
In addition, your scans are read by experienced rheumatologists who:
have read thousands of scans
are certified by the International Society of Clinical Densitometry, the only
organization responsible for ensuring excellent standards of DXA readings
are able to read your scan at the time of visit and discuss them with you
are consulted with daily for osteoporosis evaluations from across the state
lecture around the tristate area on osteporosis
We are experienced with all therapies related to osteoporosis including the use of Reclast, the once yearly medication for osteoporosis. We are often able to give this infusion in our comfortable infusion suite, the same day as your office visit. This procedure is usually fully covered by your insurance.
