OUR SERVICES

Going Beyond Imaging

Our service is one of our biggest assets. San Luis Diagnostic Center has a highly skilled, efficient staff. Patients are pre-registered by phone or fax before their appointments. On the day of their examination, all they need to do is check in with the receptionist so that they can be directed to the correct area in our facility for their examination. We pride ourselves with our on time service record. 95% of our patients are seen within 5 minutes of their scheduled appointment time.

The advanced technology of our equipment allows us to offer the fastest examinations anywhere. A CT scan that might take 30-45 minutes on an older piece of equipment takes just minutes at San Luis Diagnostic Center. Our Siemens Ultra High-Field 3T, Open MRI, which has the shortest imaging times available, provides the most detailed images of the body ever seen! At San Luis Diagnostic Center we know how hard it can be waiting to find out the results of an examination. So once a patient’s examination is completed, our radiologist interprets the study that same day. If the physician has requested it, our radiologist calls him/her with the results. Otherwise, the report is sent to the referring physician electronically or by fax later that day.

Patients scheduled for an interventional procedure, such as a biopsy, first meet with our radiologist to discuss the procedure. This gives the patient an opportunity to ask questions and have any fears alleviated. We have a private consultation room specifically designed for this purpose.
