Do I Need An Order From My Doctor?

Yes, Ohio Law Requires An Order For Medical Imaging

Many doctors offices will provide an order to our office prior to your scheduled procedure. If we have not recieved the order in advance, please bring a written order from your doctor on the day of your visit. You will need a order from your doctor before you can have a MRI, CT, ECHO or Ultrasound.

Why Are Your Prices So Low?

Our Business Model

Affordable Imaging Services developed our business model centered on low fixed costs. We do not have excessive operating or overhead costs like most large hospitals or outpatient diagnostic centers. This allows us to offer individuals who may have no insurance, high deductible or co-insurance plans an affordable medical imaging option without sacrificing quality of service.

Do I Still Receive Quality Imaging With Your Low Prices?

Higher Cost Does Not Equal Higher Quality or Better Outcomes

We utilize the same technology offered in the majority of hospitals and imaging centers throughout the country. We use high quality CT, MRI and Ultrasound equipment. Affordable Imaging Services is committed to providing our patients with the best service at the best price. We employ a friendly, professional, caring staff with years of experience and specialty training. Our radiologists are board-certified by the American Board of Radiology.

Do You Charge Any Additional Fees?

Know Before You Go Pricing

At Affordable Imaging Services, you always know the total cost prior to your exam. Most facilities do not disclose the total cost prior to your exam and have additional hidden fees added on to the final bill. We provide true price transparency with our up-front pricing. We have zero hidden fees.

Who Are The Reading Providers?

Affordable Imaging Services can provide primary reporting by multiple types of approved readers. Most of our primary readings are made by Dr. Eric Brandser M.D. A boardcertified Radiologist by the American Board of Radiology can interpret our MRI scans, CT scans, and Ultrasound images. Dr. Brandser has a 24-hour "turnaround" time on non-emergent reports and can quickly resolve a STAT reading. Some of our referring Chiropractors might be interested to know that we provide them with an initial interpretation not "over-read" by a Chiropractic Radiologist. Dr. Edward J. Dailey D.C. D.A.C.B.R can interpret our spine imaging for our Chiropractic providers and their patients. These reports are detailed to provide a template of reading that goes into the details that provide Chiropractic services what they need to thrive in their practice. Lastly, Dr. Jack Newman is our interpreting physician for ECHO imaging. He has specialized in non-invasive cardiology since 1992. He began telecardiology in 2000 beginning with remote cardiology interpretation and expanded to echocardiograms, EKG and Holter monitors. He left private practice in 2016 to concentrate full time on telecardiology services and now works with numerous companies across 26 states providing full service remote interpretive services. His overriding philosophy has been to combine close attention to detail while concomitantly being attentive to customer care.
