Discover Your Diagnosis
No matter how advanced technology becomes, listening to you, the patient, and performing a physical exam will always be the basis for diagnosis. MRI, CT scans, and X-rays provide additional information that help confirm your diagnosis and guide your treatment plan. If you have X-rays, CTs, and/or MRIs, we will display them on a monitor and carefully explain any findings.
