Patient Instructions
How
to prepare: Please drink at least two glasses of
water
within
the hour prior to your appointment and do not empty your
bladder. Wear loose fitting clothing that will allow your abdomen to
be
exposed for the ultrasound examination.
Video
Tape & 3D: We do not videotape examinations.
Our
staff will make every effort possible to provide you with keepsake
images.
3-D ultrasound is for diagnostic purposes. We will not use
this
technology routinely on examinations unless clinically required.
Small
children: We do not allow unaccompanied children
under 6
years
old in the sonogram room. Our office staff will not be able to
watch
your children during the ultrasound. Please make the necessary
arrangements
to have your child supervised at home or at the office.
If
they do not have supervision, you will be required to reschedule.
What
to bring: Insurance card, drivers license,
pre-authorization
and/or
referral number at the time you sign in.
If you do not have the
necessary
information you will need to be rescheduled.
Medical
Records: We only receive medical records from the physician office scheduling your visit.
If you feel that records from other physician(s) are beneficial for us to provide quality care for you and your pregnancy,
please make every effort to have them available for us prior to your scheduled visit.
Food:
Please do not bring food to your appointment unless you have a medical condition requiring you
to do so.
