Lower fees are much more likely for common exams. We have only one price for what we do – hospitals usually charge separate for radiology services and facility usage. Drive up and park right next to our DIS centers – no crowded parking garages or large medical complexes. Results get to your doctor usually within one business day – often sooner. So relax.
