In response to Westlake's rapid growth and the lack of centers specializing in out-patient radiology services, RBA Medical Imaging was founded in November 2001 by Drs. Russell, Berkebile, and Associates. Their mission is to provide their patients with the lastest in imaging technology combined with a level of convenience seldom found in the medical profession. We stopped by RBA Medical Imaging recently and listened as Adminstrator Darin Wiswell outlined their concept and their services;
RBA Medical Imaging offers out-patient radiology services in a very comfortable and conenient location. From mamographies and ultrasounds to CAT scans, MRIs, and diagnostic x-rays, our center performs a full range of medical imaging services in a patient friendly, home style atmosphere. Our location is close to the hospital, highway accessible, and we have plenty of parking right outside our front door.
Hospitals, naturally, give first priority to their emergency room patients and their in-patients are their second priority. Out-patients, even with a scheduled appointment, are third on their priority list. At RBA Medical Imaging, though, out-patients are our first and only priority. We strive to eliminate the cumbersome procedures encountered at the hospital by providing our patients with flexible scheduling and a level of convenience that can't be found elsewhere. You can park right outside our front door and within ten steps be talking to our receptionist and filling out your paperwork. You have your imaging done, minutes later you're on your way home, and your doctor has his report the next day. Our goal is to make our services every bit as convenient as stopping by the store to pick up an item needed for that night's family dinner. We often receive compliments on how quickly we take care of our patients and how easy it is to use our services.
We believe that we're "your best choice" in out-patient medical imaging, emphasizing that you actually have a choice in where you go for medicial imaging services. With a prescription from your doctor, your choice of imaging center is completely your decision. By choosing RBA Medical Imaging, you're guaranteed to receive prompt, professional, and courteous service.
RBA Medical Imaging utilizes a short bore MRI unit to accomodate patients who are not comfortable with full length MRI units. With a length of only four feet, our unit enables you to remain outside the scanner with only the body part being examined placed inside. Our state-of-the-art mammography unit automatically determines the optimal pressure when the compression plate compresses the breast tissue, resulting in a much more comfortable scan. In addition, we also provide bone density testing. The test takes less than ten minutes, but can compare your bone density with that of a healthy young adult, as well as that of people your same age.
At RBA, we combine a warm and inviting atmosphere with the latest in technology. Our highly experienced staff excels at making your experience a pleasant one. We do this because we want RBA to be your first choice in outpatient diagnostic medical imaging.
RBA Medical Imaging couples full service medical imaging, a convenient location, and flexible scheduling to provide you with maximum convenience for all you medical imaging needs. Call or stop by RBA Medical Imaging today and don't forget to tell them that The Advocate sent you!
