Testimonials

“As the Senior Director of Radiology at a large, multi-facility organization, including a level 1 trauma center, I cannot speak highly enough about our partnership with Direct Radiology. We have been working with Direct Radiology for over three years, and have used them for both fast turn around emergency cases and non-emergent subspecialty reporting– sometimes on short notice. Their commitment to delivering high-quality interpretations is evident in all the work they do. Their culture of highly responsive service starts at the top with their three radiologist owners and is consistent throughout the organization. They excel at listening to our needs and leave no stone unturned in delivering workable solutions that make our lives easier and enhance our relationship with them. We consider ourselves truly fortunate to have found Direct Radiology as our teleradiology partner.”

“These days healthcare is all about quality and value. That is what Direct Radiology represents for us. Quality reads, zero downtime, and the best price you can get in teleradiology. If you need back-up support, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”

Matt DesRosiers
Practice Administrator
Radiology Group, VA

“When our search began for a new teleradiology group 10 months ago, one name kept coming up as being an exemplary organization in the ever expanding field; Direct Radiology.  Since making the switch to Direct Radiology for all of our final reports in CT and diagnostic radiography, every indicator has improved immensely.  Turn-around time, accuracy of reports, system ease of use, uptime, availability of radiologists for consultations; every aspect has been excellent.  I would whole-heartedly recommend Direct Radiology without hesitation”

Scott Mitchell
Radiology Director
Cascade Medical Center, WA

“My wife and I cannot express enough how thankful we are to the entire exceptional team at Direct Radiology. In my twenty-five years in and around the medical field, I can state without hesitation that I’ve never seen a more concentrated collection of high-caliber professionals assembled under one umbrella. These guys have somehow managed to defy convention and hire an ‘all-star‘ for every position. The stellar growth they have experienced in recent years would have come with client-cringing quality issues were it not for the decisions made by the three owners and operations management as their customers poured in. Like many people who prize accuracy as they measure in millimeters for a living, it’s safe to say we’re ‘particular’ individuals. I’ve done the research. Delivering unbeatable overall value, Direct Radiology currently has no equal.”

“When we started planning our mobile ultrasound company, we expected that setting up a relationship with Direct Radiology would be very difficult. We were wrong! Our setup was easy and affordable. Direct Radiology was able to customize their process every step of the way to make it work for us. They have also been very accessible and willing to make changes or “tweaks” to our reports or workflow. Our ordering physicians have been very happy with the quality of the reports and the timely manner that the reports have been completed. Even our stat ultrasounds have gone smoothly. Direct Radiology is fairly priced, and their customer service has been better than we could have imagined. We are growing quickly, and Direct Radiology shares in that success.”

“Our partnership with Direct Radiology began over a year ago when we opened our imaging facility and we are 100% satisfied with our decision.  From day one, they have been completely responsive to our needs and are always available to help day or night.  The IT setup was easy, straightforward and our technologists were trained and pushing exams quickly with their user-friendly PACS platform.  The interpretations are timely, which is crucial to our model, but more importantly they are accurate and very comprehensive.  The interpreting radiologist is always available to consult for any questions regarding the report.  Direct Radiology also provides quarterly QA reports that helps us track internal metrics and meet regulatory requirements.  Everyone I’ve interacted with has been professional and quick to respond to any issue that has surfaced. The bottom line: Direct Radiology has redefined the industry standard for teleradiology services by assembling a first-class team that delivers the best service possible on every level.”

“We just wanted to let you know that we couldn’t be happier so far with Direct Radiology.  The reports are great and the IT support is too.  You guys have been a big step up.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Direct Radiology. The staff has always been courteous, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to fulfill all of our requests. They have provided excellent and accurate teleradiology service, including furnishing daytime MSK coverage, in addition to our overnight coverage, when we needed help. Furthermore, Direct Radiology has provided all of this with excellent turnaround times.”

Nicole Pickens
Practice Manager
Radiology Group, ID

“Direct Radiology transition went according to plan. Reliable, always had follow up to check on our expectations and progress. Easy to use for techs and PACS administrator. Instructions given with available assistance. Connectivity was as simple as your own IT makes it. Turn-around time is noticeably improved compared to our other providers.”

Radiology Group, IL

“We reached out to Direct Radiology when we were ready to start a new business providing mobile Ultrasounds in Arizona. Our business relies on quick Turn Around Times and an above average level of customer service for our clients. We have been able to grow our Ultra Sound case load by 600% in six months due in no small part to Direct Radiology’s quality reports, fast Turn Around Times and excellent customer service. The IT team has been quick to respond and the Tech Support has been a pleasure to work with. We have been very happy that we chose to use Direct Radiology for our Ultra Sound reports.”

Michelle Morgan
Owner
Ultra Sound Group, AZ

“We left another teleradiology provider who could not even get us past the setup process for a whole month. From our first phone call to Dan, he was able to give us all of the information needed and answered all of our questions. You guys have been prompt and efficient in every way! We were setup and ready for training within days. The system has been straightforward and very easy to use. We are very impressed with the report quality and turnaround rate, which is well within contracted time. We are so happy to have found such a great team and would recommend Direct Radiology without hesitation. We here at Urgent Care3D thank you and the staff for being so wonderful!”

“The service has been exemplary. Absolutely complaint free from our referring physicians. Direct Radiology provides a very high level of observational and analytic expertise with helpful succinct interpretations.”

Steven Johnson, MD
CEO
Radiology Group, MN

“We have enjoyed having the radiologists of Direct Radiology on our team for about 6 months. In that time, the level of service, as compared to the prior teleradiology group, has completely changed for the positive. Not only are the interpretations timely but the accuracy and usefulness of the interpretations to our referring physicians is similar to that which my group provides during daylight hours. As an important added feature, two of the physicians of Direct Radiology have established a relationship with me and my department manager. If we have any questions or concerns, we just pick up the phone and call them and the problem is dealt with. One of the lead physicians recently came to our hospital to meet us and put a face with the name and voice. This is something that I have never experienced in all of my years of working with after-hours radiologists. We now feel that they are part of our team.

In summary, the physicians of Direct Radiology have become an integral part of our imaging team. We look forward to a long relationship with them in the future.”

“Recently, our facility switched radiology groups to Direct Radiology. The difference in overall quality has been immediate and sustained. We have noticed a clear improvement in timeliness of reads, accuracy of interpretations and availability and input by the radiologist. (Direct Radiology) has made it clear they are committed to quality and it shows. I have no reservations in recommending Direct Radiology to any facility considering a change in groups.”

Lance Burns, MD
Medical Director Emergency
Department, TX

“We switched from another teleradiology company to Direct Radiology. Since then our impression of teleradiology has improved dramatically. The report turn-around times have gone down significantly, and the report quality has gone up. Everyone in the hospital has noticed it, and we have received lots of positive feedback. Also, DR’s IT and management teams are extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with.”

Richard Rhee, MD
Radiologist, WA

“I started using Direct Radiology in August of 2012. I started out by trying Direct Radiology while keeping my other radiology group as well. I quickly was impressed enough to drop my other group and switch to Direct Radiology exclusively. Our business does mobile ultrasounds, and all of our studies are done on time. Whenever we have a STAT study, they get them done very quickly; and they call the referring physicians whenever necessary. They are also very cost effective and very easy to work with. I’m glad I switched.”

Jason Russo
CEO
Mobile Imaging, CO

“Overall we have been very pleased with the high quality reads from Direct Radiology.

Thank you for the high quality service you provide and have a great day.”

“We have been using Direct Radiology services for a few months, and I have known Dr. Lawrence Bub for more than 5 yrs. He is not only a superb Neuroradiologist, but also a well-qualified and experienced general radiologist. His reports are to the point, and he has not had a single miss on a case to my knowledge. None of our referring physicians has ever complained about his reports, which is the most important thing to me. In complicated cases, he always calls my imaging centers and discusses the case with me. In difficult cases, when I obtained a second opinion from Dr. Bub, our referring physicians were much happier with the reports than with any other service we have tried. I have no hesitation in giving all my cases to Direct Radiology. You can unhesitatingly count on and trust Direct Radiology for all your interpretations.”

“Excellent quality reports in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Direct Radiology.”

N. Burhari
Manager and Owner
Outpatient Imaging Center, TX

“We’ve had a tremendous experience working with Direct Radiology. Obviously, turnaround times and quality reports are paramount for any radiology group. With Direct Radiology, we are getting high-quality reads with outstanding turnaround times. Their reporting capabilities are exceptional as well as highlighted by a recent comment from one of my radiologists. The radiologist called me after a recent meeting with hospital administrators, physicians and nurses. After presenting data from a Direct Radiology report, my radiologist stated he felt like a “rock star” in the meeting. I would highly recommend Direct Radiology to others.”

Monty Medanich
Chief Operating Officer
Lubbock Diagnostic Radiology, TX

“[Thank you] to Direct Radiology for our successful and virtually seamless transition to overnight teleradiology. This is our first use of an overnight reading service. Your staff was very helpful and patient with our hospital staff. Our hospital overnight technologists, ER physicians and hospitalists have been happy with your service from the get-go. The quality of the reports is excellent and the turnaround time is as advertised. Thanks for your support through the transition.”

Radiology Group President, Colorado

Dr. Breck Howard has been a practicing radiologist for 55 years, and currently heads the radiology department at St. Luke’s Community Hospital in Ronan, MT. He started a solo practice 23 years ago which he eventually built into what is now his current practice at St. Luke’s. He credits Direct Radiology for allowing him to continue operating a highly performing and responsive radiology practice while still maintaining a work-life balance.

“I’ve been practicing in radiology for 55 years – the last 23 solo for St. Luke’s – and if I didn’t have the support of Direct Radiology I couldn’t have lasted as long as I have. It’s a team mentality with consistent communication and support. The primary focus is always about maintaining quality and keeping the best interests of the patient at heart. I just love these guys!”
