The staff at Eastside Medical Care wants you to know that there are several reasons why you should get your x-ray at our clinic instead of at the hospital.

Most importantly this is a good idea because it can save you money. When you have x-rays done at your internist’s clinic, you will pay far less than you would if you were to drive to the hospital and have them done in the radiology department.

Another reason to get your x-ray at our clinic would be because we are able to treat our patients faster. If our internist thinks that you have a lung condition, but needs it verified by x-ray, they can take the pictures and then be able to start treating you for the condition immediately. If you’re sent to the hospital, they will have to make an appointment for you to get the x-ray, and then you will have to come back to their clinic after the the x-ray is done before they can start any sort of treatment. If you have the x-ray done in house, you can get treated sooner.

When you see an internist in el paso that does not do x-rays, you have to take more days off of work in order to get well. You would need to take a day off to see the doctor, to find out the results of the test and then you may have to take another to get the results. You wind up taking three days off from work when all of the diagnosis and treatment could be handled in one day if you were at a clinic with an x-ray machine.

In-house testing saves money, saves time, improves your health faster, and makes you a happier person. It is a lot easier to get all treatments done by an internist in el paso in one place than it is to drive all over town.
