Imaging (X-Ray & MRI)

We are proud to offer industry leading digital X-ray and MRI technology on site. Our orthopaedists use advanced imaging technology to obtain high-quality images that aid in their diagnosis of your orthopaedic injury or condition.

EMG

Electromyography

Our specialists use the latest advancements in Electromyography (EMG) as a diagnostic tool to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control them. An EMG uses tiny devices called electrodes to translate electrical signals into graphs, sounds or numerical values that are then interpreted by a specialist.

I have been well served by the Doctors and staff. The techniques used are state of the art and their facilities are excellent.”

“Amazing doctor and staff! Having to have back surgery was very scary and stressful however Doctor Gasser was amazing! He explained everything to me in detail and with terms I could understand and was very patient with me and my million questions before and after surgery. He continued to check in on me my entire hospital stay. Very professional surgeon/doctor I HIGHLY recommend.”
-Aimee P.
