X-Ray
Our in-house x-ray equipment and experienced techs allow our practitioners to diagnose your orthopedic condition more quickly and accurately.
​Digital x-ray machines are available at both our Warrenton and Gainesville offices where orthopedic providers work closely with the radiologic technologists to get the exact views needed of your affected body part. The digital images are available instantly, allowing your provider to review them with you during your visit.​
​
All of our radiologic technologists (sometimes called “rad techs” or “x-ray techs”) are fellowship-trained, licensed, and ARRT board-certified with 20+ years of experience, on average. You’ll be glad to know our skilled and compassionate x-ray technologists are adept at getting images quickly while minimizing discomfort for those who may be experiencing pain or disability.
