Imaging for Women State-of-the-Art Care, Same-Day Results, Up-Front Costs

If a mammogram is on your to-do list, schedule your appointment with Imaging for Women. Their doctors are highly trained experts who specialize in breast imaging and use state-of-the-art technology to provide same-day results at competitive prices. Drs. Troy Voeltz, Allison Zupon and Lindsay Miner have built a service-oriented practice that places their patients first. Their goal is getting patients back to living their lives. Whether it is with a routine screening mammogram or a more-targeted procedure, the team at Imaging for Women wants you relaxed and comfortable
while you’re on site and armed with comprehensible results when you’re done for the day, all at an affordable price.

Newest Technology Enhances Timely Care
The unknown can be scary. Thankfully, the Imaging for Women team knows how to use compassion, technology and timeliness to take the edge off a stressful situation. “A patient is not a number,” said Phyllis Fulk, office manager and long-time team member.

From the moment you arrive at the clinic, the spa-like feel of the office invites you to relax. Whether you need a mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy or bone density screening, the entire team makes it known that patient care is their top priority. You’ll be reassured by the warm and welcoming team members who are prepared for your appointment and treat you with competency and care during and after your imaging services.

Imaging for Women strives to use state-of-the-art technology that offers maximum benefits to their patients. For instance, they are the only clinic in Missouri offering contrast-enhanced mammography, or CEM. Dr. Miner, the newest member of the practice and a breast fellowship-trained radiologist, said, “Contrast-enhanced mammography offers similar results to MRIs, in that it finds cancers at a similar rate, but it’s done for a much lower cost and in significantly less time, which makes a big difference for our patients and their comfort.”

Because their team uses the latest technology, Imaging for Women offers the ultimate in compassionate patient care by providing same-day results. Dr. Voeltz said, “We pride ourselves on having patients leave knowing their diagnosis and what to expect next.” To guarantee patient understanding, results are stated in layman’s terms. Dr. Miner also acknowledged how timeliness benefits their patients. “Being able to do same-day workups is huge for so many reasons,” she said. “It decreases the time that patients have anxiety while they’re waiting. It also keeps costs down because, for so many patients to get to the doctor, they have to take off work or make childcare arrangements.”

Your Health and Your Bottom Line
Getting patients back to living their lives is what Imaging for Women is all about. Receiving a clean bill of health is always the hoped-for outcome, but if your results should contain any medical concerns, Imaging for Women does not want you to despair. Although it seems counterintuitive, Dr. Miner said, “It’s a victory to find a cancer when it’s very small, because usually the patient gets to have a small surgery. Then hopefully after a few months of treatment, they’ll resume their normal lives.” Although a cancer diagnosis is scary, treating it and counting yourself as a survivor is a huge success. Imaging for Women throws an annual party for their cancer survivors and celebrates each stage of healing.

In addition to looking out for and celebrating your health, Imaging for Women is determined to look out for your bottom line by providing upfront estimates. Phyllis said, “We work hard to call patients’ insurance and see how much the actual cost of these procedures will be so that our patients know that they’re going to be able to afford their care and not be surprised with the bill later on.” In fact, Dr. Voeltz highly recommends that you “demand a cost estimate in writing prior to proceeding with any examination.” That applies to any medical procedure. Dr. Voeltz is understandably proud that Imaging for Women “has always provided a clarity of costs, and we do our best to keep our prices as low as possible.”

Giving Back
In addition to their daily operations, Imaging for Women also supports under-insured or uninsured patients through Northland Healthcare Access, donates hundreds of free mammograms through Bra Couture KC, and gives time and funds toward many worthy causes such as Hope House, Harvester’s and Kansas City Free Eye Clinic. Their dedication to their patients and the greater community marks them as a worthy organization with which to be associated.
