Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging allows physicians to view the inside of your body to help confirm a diagnosis and determine the causes of an injury or illness. This service is also used to see how well your body is responding to a treatment for an illness or injury.
Our Diagnostic Imaging Department treats a wide range of medical conditions and assists in the diagnosis of many more.
Personalized Care
Our talented team of ARRT-registered technologists and board-certified radiologists strive to provide the best patient experience throughout the entire treatment process.
