At OakBend Medical Center, we understand that your weekly schedule can fill up quickly. We are proud to offer Imaging Services on Saturdays and Sundays in order to meet your health needs on your timetable. Radiology Manager Mary Chambless, RT(R), shares that these weekend imaging offerings will do away with the inconvenience of taking time off of work or rearranging weekday plans to prioritize your health. Since OakBend Medical Center is committed to offering quality healthcare close to home, patients can undergo imaging tests at their convenience.
Why is it important for people to make time in their busy schedules for imaging and radiology testing? Early detection of any medical condition is the key to getting the best possible diagnosis, which can ultimately lead to better treatments and better patient outcomes. Our highly trained staff is here to assist in the critical detection of health conditions. We are prepared to meet your imaging needs by utilizing MRIs accredited with the American College of Radiology, our 64-slice CT, our advanced Ultrasound, and other state-of-the-art equipment.
For patients planning to schedule an imaging test, there are several things that can be done in preparation of the appointment. Upon arrival, don’t forget your medical information, insurance card, and ID card for registration purposes. Make sure to alert the technologist administering the testing if you are pregnant, have any known allergies, or are suffering from any medical conditions. To create a more relaxed atmosphere, patients should dress in comfortable clothing and avoid wearing metal. If you have any concerns about radiation or the general testing process, please contact your doctor with any questions.
To schedule an appointment, you may call 281-633-4022 or fax the physician order to 888-341-4803. Our Admissions Department will take care of the pre-certification process and scheduling upon request. To learn more about our Imaging Services, please click here.
