Are you at a risk of Heart Attack?
Use this online risk assessment tool from the American Heart Association to assess your risk for heart disease.
Ultrasound imaging is another state-of-the-art
diagnostic tool most commonly used for observing babies inside the womb, another
form is called Echocardiography. This test shows colorized images of the beating
heart.
Ultrasound imaging is a safe, painless diagnostic procedure. It bounces sound
waves off internal organs or structures and then captures the returning echoes
as a photograph or moving image on a monitor. There is no injection or radiation
exposure associated with ultrasound studies.
Here's what to expect during an ultrasound:
-A jelly-like substance is applied to the
skin where the ultrasound will be performed. Gel improves the transmission of
sound.
-A transducer device is slid and gently pressed across the area of
observation.
-Sound waves pass from the transducer through the patient's skin and
bounce back to the transducer.
-These echoes are captured and translate into images.
-Images are instantly displayed on a monitor.
-These images are captured on other media for a radiologist to review and
interpret.
Ultrasound can also be used to examine the arterial and venous systems.
During pregnancy, ultrasound is used for several purposes:
-To monitor the growth, development and well being of a fetus.
-To check the baby's due date.
-To measure the size of a baby's head and determine her age.
-To confirm the number of babies.
We accept most HMO's and insurance programs for care that is covered by insurance. However, in many cases, office visit fees are not covered by health care plans. You are responsible for physician fees that must be paid at the time of the visit. Cosmetic surgery fees are generally not covered by insurance carriers and must be paid at least two weeks prior to scheduled surgery. Surgical procedures performed in the office, in an outpatient surgical setting, or in the hospital will be billed to your insurance carrier. Any unpaid balance will be your responsibility. Should financial hardship exist, our billing office will work with you to reach a satisfactory solution.
