Rescan Policy

Unfortunately, not every ultrasound session produces textbook perfect images. However, using the best technology available and experienced sonographer, we do our best for every client to obtain the very best images possible!!! The quality of your images are determined by many factors and are outside of our control, some key factors are the position of the baby, tissue density, and amniotic fluid levels. For these reasons we do provide a $75 rescan session for several of our packages if we are unable to complete your package that day. Please understand that it is our goal to try and complete your package the same day and give you a great experience with memorable pictures to take home, if a rescan is warranted, the fee is solely for the extra time we have set aside for you and baby.
