Digital Imaging for Accurate Diagnoses

When a physical exam isn’t enough, imaging services help us get a closer look. Our diagnostic imaging capabilities include:

  • Digital X-Rays: Provides detailed images of bones, joints, and internal organs for detecting fractures, tumors, or foreign objects

  • Ultrasound: Helps visualize soft tissues, detect pregnancy, and assess heart and abdominal conditions
