Safe, non-invasive diagnosis and treatment

Diagnostic medical imaging is often essential for correct diagnosis and, in some cases, treatment of a variety of health conditions. Ongoing technological advances enhance our ability to detect the earliest stages of illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, allowing you and your doctor to start treatment sooner rather than later.

Our radiology team includes radiologists from Central Oregon Radiology, radiology technologists and registered nurses with specialized training in radiology procedures, who are all dedicated to helping you get the right diagnosis and treatment.
