Our imaging center offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic services designed to provide detailed insights into your health.

Patients typically visit an imaging center at the recommendation of their physician to help investigate a wide range of health concerns. Common reasons include evaluating persistent pain in areas like the back, neck, or joints; assessing injuries from accidents or falls; investigating symptoms such as unexplained swelling, shortness of breath, or neurological changes like headaches or weakness. We also support routine cancer screening programs, such as mammography, and provide essential imaging for managing chronic conditions like heart disease. If your doctor has suggested imaging to gain a clearer view of what’s happening inside your body, our center is equipped to provide the precise pictures needed to guide your next steps.

Your first visit to our imaging center is designed to be straightforward and as stress-free as possible. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our front desk staff who will verify your information and assist with any necessary paperwork. A member of our clinical team will then meet with you to explain the specific procedure you are having, answer any questions, and ensure you are properly prepared. This includes instructions about changing into a gown if needed and details on what you will experience during the scan, such as the sounds of the machine and the importance of staying still. After your study is completed, a radiologist will interpret the images and send a report directly to your referring physician, who will discuss the findings with you.
What insurance plans do you accept? We accept a wide range of commercial insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid. Our billing specialists are available to help you understand your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs before your procedure. It is always a good idea to confirm your specific benefits with your insurance provider.
Should I bring anything to my appointment? Please bring a photo ID, your current insurance card, and any relevant physician orders or referral forms. If you have had previous imaging studies at another facility, having those images and reports available can be very helpful for comparison. It is also important to inform us if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, are pregnant, or have any claustrophobia concerns, as this may affect your preparation.
