Preparation depends on the type of ultrasound. For abdominal ultrasounds, you may need to fast for a few hours. For pelvic ultrasounds, a full bladder may be required. Specific instructions will be provided when you schedule your appointment.

For certain ultrasounds, like abdominal scans, you may need to fast. For other types, there may be no restrictions. Follow the specific instructions given by our staff.

Most ultrasound exams take about 15-30 minutes. Color Doppler studies may take slightly longer, depending on the complexity of the examination.

Ultrasound and Color Doppler exams are generally painless. You may feel slight pressure from the transducer, but it should not cause discomfort.

The exam is performed by a trained sonographer or radiologist. They are skilled professionals specialized in diagnostic imaging.

You can schedule an appointment by calling our office, visiting our website, or speaking with your referring doctor who can assist in setting up the appointment.
