What Is The Difference Between 3D Ultrasound And 4D Ultrasound?
3D is a still image while 4D adds the dimension of motion so it looks like a video.
3D and 4D ultrasound use the same frequency as your doctor uses in the normal 2D ultrasound. Ultrasounds have been used for over 35 years and there have been no proven side effects from its proper use. We strictly adhere to the FDA’s standards.
That depends on what you are looking to see. Many mothers like coming in twice, early on, 16-26 weeks, when they can see the baby as a whole, and then again at 25-34 weeks to see a more detailed face. Between 28 and 32 weeks, your baby develops more fat and gets a more defined face. After 34 weeks, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain good pictures since the baby is running out of room. However all babies are different and we have been successful in obtaining great images all the way up to 39 weeks.

At 15 weeks we can determine the gender with a very high accuracy. If you are over 16 weeks and the gender can not be seen, we invite you back for a weekday return appointment and we will rescan you for free within the next 14 days. The need for a return visit is usually due to the baby’s position.

Most doctors recommend maintaining a healthy fluid intake, especially while you are pregnant. This will help to ensure your amniotic fluid is clear as well as full. There are many things out of the sonographer’s control like the baby’s position, the mother’s skin type and build, amount of amniotic fluid, etc.
Drink plenty of water even several days before your appointment to ensure your amniotic fluid is clear. About a half hour before your 3D/4D ultrasound scan, try to drink a fruit juice so that your baby will be awake during your session (unless you are told not to by your physician).
Yes! We encourage you to have your friends and family to share this special moment with you.

Less than 5 minutes after your session has ended.
We do not contact your doctor prior to the scan since this is an elective procedure. We do require however that you currently are under prenatal care and if you have any concerns, you should ask your doctor. Ultrasound technicians in general cannot make a diagnosis.

No. We are an elective service therefore cannot accept insurance.

At 15 weeks we can show you the sex of your baby.

Yes it is! I had a new home built to accommodate a large comfortable private ultrasound studio.

You can bring as many guests as you’d like!

No. I am trained in non diagnostic ultrasound and have been operating since 2013.

If you choose a package that comes with a usb, your photos will be transferred onto your usb at your appointment. If your package doesn’t come with a usb, you can bring one for photos to be transferred or they can be emailed within 24 hours.
