Jamestown Radiologists has acquired Jamestown Medical Imaging, the full-service MRI, CT and Ultrasound suite located at The Riverwalk Center, 15 S. Main St.
"This acquisition further enhances the ability of our practice to serve the imaging needs of the Jamestown community and surrounding area," said Dr. Ronald D. Klizek, Jamestown Radiologists president. "Ultimately, we believe this development will benefit the patients who need our services, which is the mission of all providers."
In addition to the Jamestown Medical Imaging office, Jamestown Radiologists provides services at its office location at 31 Sherman St. It is also the exclusive provider of radiology services at WCA Hospital.
Jamestown Radiologists services include simple X-ray imaging, Nuclear Medicine, including PET, Ultrasound, CT, Mammography, MRI scans and other advanced procedures including interventional radiology techniques. Jamestown Medical Imaging provides CT, Ultrasound and Open MRI technology, a design which features the advantages of an accessible open magnet, providing the patient with a more comfortable, less confined MRI experience.
The acquisition of Jamestown Medical Imaging is the second significant announcement made by Jamestown Radiologists in recent weeks. In early September, the practice announced that it had entered into contracts to become a participating provider with the area's major insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York, Independent Health and Univera.
"No issues are more important in healthcare today than access to and coverage for needed services. With our acquisition, we are ensuring the people of Jamestown, the Southern Tier and northern Pennsylvania will continue to have access to quality services provided by dedicated local physicians," Klizek said. "As we move forward, we will announce additional improvements aimed at better serving our patients."
In addition to Klizek, the physicians who make up the Jamestown Radiologists team are Dr. James Dahlie, Dr. Lyndon Gritters, Dr. Brian Meagher, Dr. Bruce Rockwell, and Dr. Dallen Ashby. All are board-certified radiologists and many have fellowship training.
