Do I need a doctor's referral to schedule an ultrasound?

While having a referral or order from your healthcare provider is helpful for specific diagnostic targeting, our direct-to-patient model allows for easy, direct scheduling at our Chicago clinic.

How quickly will I receive my scan results?

Because all scans are performed and evaluated directly by Dr. Farooq A. Syed, reporting turnarounds are fast and prompt. You won't face the long waiting periods typical of larger hospital networks.

How should I prepare for my ultrasound appointment?
  • Abdominal Scans: Fasting (no food or drink except water) for 6 to 8 hours prior to the test is typically required.

  • Pelvic Scans: A full bladder may be needed, so drinking plenty of water before your appointment is recommended.

  • Small Parts & Vascular Scans: Usually require no prior dietary restrictions. Specific instructions will be provided when you book.
