The highly trained group of radiologists at Desert Radiology includes physicians with a variety of specialties, who have received training at top institutions. Some of the specialties include nuclear medicine, women’s imaging, PET imaging and neuroradiology, amongst many others.

The team at Desert Radiology reflect the highest standards of care by providing their patients with the most advanced radiology procedures and diagnostic imaging available.

In addition to the 3D and traditional mammograms, Desert Radiology performs DEXA Bone Density scans, CT and Ultrasound guided biopsy, 3T MRI, Ultrasound and X-Ray imaging among other services on the most up-to-date equipment on the market. For patient convenience, X-Rays are performed on a walk-in basis at most of our facilities and do not require an appointment. Some facilities offer extended hours to help patients who need care outside of regular business hours.

Desert Radiology also offers an array of interventional and vascular services at their dedicated interventional clinic, Desert Vascular Institute. Their interventional radiologists specialize in minimally invasive image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for cardiovascular conditions as well as a broad range of services for patients with cancer, pain, diabetes, liver, kidney, and other conditions.

In 2016 Desert Radiology is celebrating 50 years of serving their community and looks forward to continuing to provide the highest level of care possible.
