While ringing in the New Year is typically a time for making resolutions about better health habits, we believe that making a commitment to personal wellness is a worthwhile decision whatever the season. To support these efforts, Washington Imaging Services has developed our Personal Wellness Program. As part of this program, we now offer four wellness imaging exams that can provide a baseline indication of your current physical condition to help you gauge your health improvement efforts. If you are due for a colonoscopy, concerned about your past smoking history, have a family history of heart disease or hypertension, or are thinking about a weight loss program, these non-invasive screening exams can provide you with the insight and the inspiration to take charge of improving your health and your longevity. WIS has lowered our cash price on all of these wellness exams, making them more accessible even when insurance reimbursement is not available. A referral order from your clinician is required for each of these exams.

Virtual colonoscopy is a great alternative for patients who, despite urging, struggle with traditional optical colonoscopy. This procedure can be done quickly, sedation free and without the discomforts associated with traditional methods. More>
