General Information

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, all ultrasounds require an appointment. However, we offer same-day appointments based on availability. Please call our office to check for openings or schedule online using the form to the right.

Can I bring family and friends?

For elective ultrasound services, up to 4 to 6 guests are welcome.
For diagnostic medical ultrasounds, 2 guests are allowed.
Children are not allowed in the exam room during medical diagnostic ultrasounds unless they are the patient.

Children in the reception area must be supervised by a parent or guardian. For accurate medical ultrasound imaging, a quiet, distraction-free environment is required.

How quickly can ultrasound results be provided to referring healthcare providers?

All diagnostic ultrasound reports are reviewed by board-certified radiologists and delivered to referring providers within 48-72 hours. STAT reports are available for urgent cases.

What qualifications do your ultrasound technologists have?

All of our ultrasound technologists are certified, experienced professionals trained in general, OB/GYN, and vascular ultrasound imaging. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality diagnostic imaging while ensuring a compassionate patient experience.

When is the best time to schedule my fertility ultrasound?

Timing depends on your cycle and reason for the scan. Most ovulation tracking ultrasounds are done around day 21 of your cycle, but some evaluations may be needed earlier. Consult your specialist for guidance.

Is a fertility ultrasound painful?

No, fertility ultrasounds are non-invasive and generally painless. A transvaginal ultrasound provides the clearest images of the ovaries and uterus and is typically more comfortable than a routine Pap smear.

How do I reschedule my appointment?

If you need to reschedule, please call us as soon as possible. We recommend providing at least 24 hours’ notice.

Can I book a preventative screening without a referral?

Yes! Health screenings do not require a physician referral and can be scheduled online or by phone.

Ultrasound Appointment Preparation

How should I prepare for my ultrasound?

Abdomen, Aorta, or Gallbladder Ultrasound: Do not eat or drink 6-8 hours before your exam. If you are diabetic, please call our office for special instructions.
Abdomen & Pelvic Ultrasound (Same Day): Drink 32oz of water but do not eat before your appointment, and do not empty your bladder.
All Exams: Wear a comfortable two-piece outfit. If wearing a dress, bring a pair of shorts.

How can I get the best ultrasound images?

Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water at least 2-3 days before your appointment can significantly improve the clarity of your ultrasound scans.

For 4D and 5D ultrasounds, full-figured mothers should schedule their fetal ultrasound between 28-32 weeks for the best results.

Can you determine the baby’s gender?

Yes, we offer pregnancy confirmation ultrasounds and can determine gender as early as 14 weeks.

If you are full-figured, we recommend waiting until 15 weeks.
Fetal position, developmental stage, and body composition can affect visibility. If we cannot confirm gender, you may return for a rescan at no additional charge.

How much do ultrasounds cost?

We offer affordable diagnostic ultrasounds in DFW at 50% less than the common cost of hospital-based imaging centers. Our no-insurance ultrasound options ensure that OB/GYN, general, and vascular imaging remain accessible to all patients.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

What is your late appointment policy?

Do you accept insurance for elective ultrasounds?

No, elective ultrasounds are not covered by insurance, but we offer affordable pregnancy ultrasound packages with transparent pricing.

Medical & Safety Information

What if a problem is detected during my ultrasound?

If an issue is identified, your doctor will be notified immediately. Choosing a medical ultrasound center in DFW with licensed ultrasound technologists is essential for quality results. Always ask to see the credentials of the person performing your scan, as some facilities claim to use licensed professionals when they do not.

What if there is severe weather?

For the safety of our patients, we follow Arlington Public School closures during severe weather. If schools are closed, our facility will also be closed. If you feel unsafe traveling due to weather, call ahead, and we will gladly reschedule your appointment.

Referrals & Healthcare Provider Information

Do I need a physician referral for a diagnostic ultrasound?

Yes, all diagnostic ultrasounds require a written order from your provider, which must be faxed to our office or brought by the patient before the appointment.

Our board-certified radiologists will review all scans and provide ultrasound reporting and results within 48-72 hours, unless a STAT report is needed.

How do healthcare providers submit a referral?

Providers can submit a diagnostic ultrasound order by faxing the request or clicking the referral order form, and we will receive it via email.
