Our Private Imaging Center Compared to Hospitals
With the increasing demand for healthcare, hospitals face challenges in delivering personalized medical testing and care. Due to sheer size and high volume of patients they treat, hospitals are not always able to provide the most ideal environment for patients with conditions that require hands-on, custom tailored medical screening. Studies have actually shown that a relaxing and peaceful environment can be instrumental in the healing process, and at Optima Diagnostic Imaging we believe that starts with initial medical testing. That's why we have worked to create an atmosphere that is entirely different from large-scale hospitals.
Patients entering our imaging center immediately encounter a noticeable difference. In contrast to a hospital environment, our aesthetic space and compassionate staff is designed to create a warm, friendly facility with a personal approach for all of your screening needs.
