How we care for your patient

When you refer a case to us, you can be confident that your patient will be carefully monitored and expertly imaged using state-of-the-art research-quality imaging equipment. Following the exam, your patient will be sent back to you with an immediate call to discuss our findings. You won’t just get images from us, but also a team approach that we refer to as our circle of care, as we work closely with recognized experts in internal medicine and neurology to help guide treatment options for our referring clinicians.

Digital lab services allow for faster decision-making

With our in-house IDEXX lab, we offer a complete range of digital cytology and other lab testing to complement our diagnostic imaging modalities. This allows us to do a wide range of tests and get diagnostic answers while your patient is with us. If additional imaging is indicated, we can do it on the same day, speeding up the process for you and your patient.
