The OSNI radiology department offers state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment and leading-edge radiologic software for a speedy and accurate diagnosis, which in turn helps develop the optimal treatment plans. Digital X-rays are available immediately and can be viewed on a computer right in the exam room. MRI results are interpreted by a Board Certified radiologist and are available within 48 hours.
The physicians at OSNI are confident in delivering expert medical care to patients who are being treated for sports or work-related injuries. Rehabilitation services aid patients in healing and recovery so they can return to their daily routines and recreational activities as quickly as possible.
Specialists at OSNI understand how important it is for patients with work-related injuries to be seen immediately. Initial evaluations are scheduled within 24-48 hours, and in some cases, same-day appointments are available. Work status reports and dictations are provided within 24 hours of the patient’s appointment.
As a result of their outstanding training, experience, and care over the last 20 years, OSNI providers have been continuously recognized both for research and patient care. They have been voted #1 Best of the Region for Orthopedics for eight consecutive years, and individual physicians have been honored with Compassionate Doctor Awards, America’s Most Honored Professionals, On-Time Doctor Awards, and Patients’ Choice Awards.
