Services
A complete look at the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and abdominal aorta. For upper abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, abnormal liver enzymes, suspected gallstones or fatty liver. Scanned by a registered sonographer with 15+ years of experience and interpreted by a board-certified physician; report usually within 24-48 hours. No referral and no insurance needed.
PREPARATION: Nothing to eat for 6 hours before the exam. You may drink water or black coffee without limitation, and take your regular medications. No sparkling or carbonated water and no soda. No gum, mints or candy - they put air in the stomach and can hide the gallbladder. Wear a two-piece outfit.

PREPARATION: Drink 20 oz of water one hour before your appointment and do not empty your bladder - a full bladder is required. No fasting needed. If you arrive uncomfortably full, tell us; you can empty partially and we will still get the images.

Real-time imaging of a shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle or Achilles tendon for tendon tears, tendinitis, bursitis, joint effusion, ganglion cysts and plantar fasciitis. Ultrasound lets the joint be examined while it moves - something a static MRI cannot do. No referral or insurance needed.

A transrectal ultrasound of the prostate and seminal vesicles using a small lubricated probe. Measures prostate volume and looks for nodules, cysts, calcifications, an enlarged median lobe and post-void residual urine. Ordered for an elevated or rising PSA, a weak urinary stream, frequency or getting up at night, or follow-up of known BPH. This is a diagnostic imaging study only - no biopsy is performed. Performed at our office only, not on home visits.
PREPARATION: Use a self-administered Fleet enema 1-2 hours before the appointment so the rectum is empty; this is what most affects image quality. No fasting required. Empty your bladder just before the exam. The study takes about 15-20 minutes. Tell us when you book if you have had recent rectal surgery, an anal fissure, active hemorrhoid pain or a colostomy - a transabdominal prostate study is an alternative.

Add a second or third ultrasound exam to an appointment you have already booked, at a reduced rate. Book this alongside your primary exam and tell us which additional exam you want. If you are not sure which one you need, book the primary exam and we will discuss it at the visit.

A complete echocardiogram plus bilateral carotid artery duplex - the screening pair that looks at the heart itself, not only the arteries. The echocardiogram evaluates chamber size, wall motion, pumping function (ejection fraction), all four valves and the pericardium. The carotid duplex measures plaque and narrowing in the arteries that supply the brain. Worth considering if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a smoking history, or a family history of stroke or heart disease.
You receive two written reports: the echocardiogram read by a board-certified cardiologist and the carotid study by a board-certified radiologist. Scanned by a sonographer credentialed in both echocardiography (RDCS) and vascular technology (RVT). One flat fee.
PREPARATION: No fasting and no preparation. Wear a two-piece outfit; you will undress from the waist up for the echocardiogram. No necklaces or high collars. Bring a list of your current medications. Allow about one hour.

Four studies in one visit - complete abdominal ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen), kidneys and bladder, abdominal aortic aneurysm measurement, and a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound. A practical annual check if you want to know what is going on internally without waiting months for a referral. Booked individually these four studies would be $500. One flat fee.
PREPARATION: Nothing to eat for 6 hours before your appointment. You may drink water or black coffee without limitation, and take your regular medications. No sparkling or carbonated water and no soda. No gum, mints or candy. Drink 20 oz of water one hour before your appointment and do not empty your bladder, so the bladder and pelvic structures can be seen.

Three vascular screening studies in one visit - carotid artery duplex (stroke risk), abdominal aortic aneurysm screening, and ankle-brachial index for peripheral arterial disease. The screening set to consider if you are over 60, a current or former smoker, or have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. One flat fee.
PREPARATION: Nothing to eat for 6 hours before your appointment so the aorta can be seen clearly. Drink water freely, but no coffee or other caffeine for 2 hours before - caffeine changes the blood pressure readings used for the ankle-brachial index. No smoking for 2 hours before. Wear a two-piece outfit with short sleeves and loose pants or shorts. No necklaces or high collars.

Five studies in one visit - complete abdominal ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen), kidneys and bladder, transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, thyroid and neck ultrasound, and carotid artery duplex (stroke risk). Our most complete check-up: a good choice if you want a full baseline, have a family history of stroke or thyroid disease, or take GLP-1 weight-loss medication and want your gallbladder and thyroid checked. Booked individually these five studies would be $600. One flat fee. Self-pay, no referral needed. Every study is read by a Nevada-licensed physician.
A complete transthoracic echocardiogram with 2D imaging, M-mode, color and spectral Doppler - evaluating heart size, wall motion, pumping function (ejection fraction), all four valves and the pericardium. Ordered for shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, a murmur, leg swelling, high blood pressure, or monitoring of a known cardiac condition or chemotherapy. Interpreted by a board-certified cardiologist.
PREPARATION: No preparation and no fasting. Wear a two-piece outfit; you will undress from the waist up and be given a gown or drape. Bring a list of your current medications. Allow 30-45 minutes.
