Not every doctor’s office have on site X-rays. Premier Family Healthcare does have digital X-rays on site. Because it is digital, we can see the images immediately so we can make the proper diagnosis and start you on the correct treatment right away.
This will save you a lot of time because you do not have to drive across town, then register yourself again, then spend more time in another waiting room just to get an x-ray; then wait some more to have your x-rays read by a doctor.

Infections:
- Pneumonias vs. bronchitis
- Sinus infection confirmation
- Colitis or diverticulitis
