A diagnostic ultrasound is a provider-ordered medical examination used to evaluate specific aspects of pregnancy. Your sonographer obtains the requested images and measurements, which are submitted to a board-certified radiologist for interpretation. The finalized report is sent to your ordering provider.

Yes. A valid order from your OB/GYN, midwife, or other qualified healthcare provider is required before the examination can be performed.

Yes. You may reserve your appointment directly through our online calendar. However, the required provider order must be received before imaging can be performed.

Your examination is personally performed by an ARDMS-credentialed Sonographer x10 years with high-risk/MFM background using advanced imaging equipment. Images are submitted to a board-certified radiologist for interpretation, and the finalized report is sent to your ordering provider.

Available diagnostic exams include:

• OB dating and viability

• OB limited

• OB follow-up and growth

• Fetal anatomy

• Biophysical profile (BPP) without NST

• OB transvaginal

• Umbilical artery Doppler

Availability depends on the examination requested and the indication by your provider. Current services and pricing are listed during scheduling. Please call or email if you have a special service request that is not listed online and Sydnee will do her best to help.

Please bring a valid photo ID so your name and date of birth can be verified.

Call ahead to confirm your provider's order has been received, upload it, or bring a copy. Previous ultrasound reports or images are also helpful when your pregnancy has already been evaluated. The more information our radiologist has, the better.

Arrive with a comfortably full bladder, not an uncomfortable or painful one. There is no need to drink excessive water as advised elsewhere. Simply stay hydrated throughout the day and avoid using the restroom immediately before your scan. Sydnee will let you know when it is okay to go as soon as possible without compromising the examination.

Please also avoid excess sugar, caffeine, and large meals before your scan. Breaks, safe techniques, cold drinks, and sugary treats are available if needed to encourage movement while keeping baby comfortable.

Comfortable, two-piece clothing is recommended for easy abdominal access.

When ordered or clinically indicated, diagnostic examinations may include abdominal and transvaginal imaging for further evaluation. Transvaginal imaging is only performed with consent.

No preliminary interpretations, diagnoses, or medical advice are provided during your appointment by an imaging professional. Exams must first be reviewed by a board-certified radiologist for proper communication of findings. Your ordering provider will receive the finalized report and discuss the findings and any recommended follow-up with you. This is routine practice for medical imaging centers and hospitals unless there is an emergency, then your provider will be contacted.

Reports typically take 1–3 business days, depending on the examination and radiologist review. Turnaround times may be longer around weekends and holidays.

Completed reports are sent to your ordering provider, who will communicate your results, typically through your patient portal or at your next appointment.

Your images are submitted for radiologist interpretation, and findings are documented in the formal report. Your ordering provider is responsible for reviewing the findings with you and coordinating any necessary follow-up. Baby Haven is not an emergency facility. Urgent pregnancy concerns should be directed to your healthcare provider or an appropriate emergency department.

Yes! Gender will not be disclosed in the office if you select "No" or request not to know. However, genitalia may still be evaluated as part of the medical examination and documented in the radiologist's report. I may turn off the viewing screen or ask you to look away during this portion. If you wish to keep gender a surprise, avoid opening your patient chart or reading the report directly.

Diagnostic appointments include a printed photo strip of 5–6 images in your preferred size, along with a digital keepsake gallery delivered by phone and email when applicable. These are keepsakes and do not replace your formal diagnostic report.

No. Photos, videos, and recordings are not permitted during diagnostic examinations so the sonographer can remain focused on imaging, measurements, documentation, and patient care.

This is standard practice in radiology when a medical evaluation is happening. Medical interpretation is up to the radiologist, and keepsakes are provided as a result.

Diagnostic appointments allow mom plus up to 2 adult guests, for 3 adults total. Everyone entering the office must be 18 or older. Children and pets are not permitted.
