Services

We provide both ultrasound and radiographic services on a daily basis. Many ultrasound procedures have special instructions (full bladder, fasting) that require the patient to be scheduled. We provide services to all ages of patients from newborns to geriatrics in the Triage and the Outpatient clinics. We constantly strive to provide the very best service for our patients. We also keep current on the latest technology in the imaging field.

Procedure for Obtaining X-rays

After the provider orders an x-ray; the orders are brought to the department by the nursing personnel. Please be seated in the lobby until your name is called. The technologist will retrieve orders and patients are then called to the x-ray department to have their x-rays done.

Your x-rays are interpreted by a radiologist. That report will be given to your provider explaining the findings of the x-rays.

Procedure for Obtaining Ultrasound

Check in at registration for your ultrasound appointment. Please be seated in the lobby until your name is called. The Sonographer will call you to the Laboratory, where your ultrasound will be done.
