Your First Visit

Depending on your specific condition, we may order x-rays or advanced imaging such as MRI or CT. We refer out to several imaging centers in the valley to accommodate your specific needs. Evidence based guidelines and standard of care best practices recommend using imaging studies only to confirm the diagnosis not “see what we find.” Diagnosis should primarily come from a good history and physical examination performed by your healthcare provider. Treatment should be patient focused, not over relying on imaging to direct treatment. In the absence of acute trauma or emergency situations, we only order imaging when expected outcomes and timelines are not being met.
