Picture quality
Please have reasonable expectations regarding this scan. Do not compare your scan with any other peoples' scans. Each person is different. To obtain perfect images we need a combination of at least 20 elements related to your pregnancy like: Specific pregnancy data scan, good body position, large amount of amniotic fluid between baby face and placenta, no face or hands over baby face, not a large frame mammy, thin layers of adipose tissue (fat) between transducer and placenta, no umbilical cord between legs, etc.
SO: If you do not image well and the baby does not cooperate we will establish another 1 TO 3 extra appointments, free of charge.
MDs
The elected procedure does not substitute any MD diagnostic or indication for ultrasound: we do not provide measurements or determine due dates.
Hours of operation
We are open 7 days a week from 9AM to 8 PM, mainly by appointment. Sunday 9AM to 5PM, some discounts will apply for some weekdays.
How many guests may I bring?
We welcome your family and friends to share the joy of this once in a lifetime experience. We have comfortable seating for 5 to 12 additional adults (depending on the location).
Children are welcome but with VERY FEW exceptions become restless and bored very quickly. Many parents cannot really enjoy seeing the new baby while wrestling with a crying toddler, trying to entertain a preschooler, etc.
Baby shower scans
We can come to your house with all our equipment including the HDTVs.
Gender
We will determine your baby's gender by week 17, only by request.
Time
Many expectant parents schedule an ultrasound at around 28 weeks to see a cute little face and much of the body. They return at around 33 weeks when the finest details of the face can be seen. Women with twins should visit around 27 weeks.
The Services
Are provided by Sonograph graduates from Medical Academies with solid medical background and experience.
Same day appt
We can frequently accommodate same day appointments.
Refunds
If we decide that nothing can be done to obtain reasonable pictures, we will refund your payment, LESS a $30 reservation FEE. Thank you for understanding.
cancelation policy
We are a busy office, so we PREFFER a 48 hours cancelation policy.
Safety
The Ultrasound Experience is safe for both mother and fetus, with some restrictions. In the 40 years since the ultrasound has been used and with billions of scans made, no maternal or fetal harm has been shown.
Forms
We provide forms to mothers and physicians/midwives with clear written statements regarding the services offered.
The Sessions
The sessions last between 15 to 45 minutes. However, we require 10 minutes for registration/eligibility and 15 minutes after the scan for printing pictures and formatting the DVD/CD.
Insurance & Payment
This elective procedure is not covered by insurance. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard and debit cards. NO CHECKs or INSURANCE.
Equipment
The private business status and the care for our clients offered us the possibility to purchase the latest ultrasound technology, usually more modern than that used in many hospitals or major medical practices, a fact that brings more safety and better quality to our work.
