The active involvement of Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg radiologists in both outpatient and hospital imaging, along with working closely with referring physicians, means that patients receive the most appropriate imaging studies in the appropriate environment. This helps to ensure our patients get the high-quality care they need and deserve, without paying for unnecessary testing.
