Empathic Radiologist Specialized Services Eradicating Patient Anxiety

Medical imaging, commonly referred to as radiology, has witnessed a rapid evolution to play a central role in medicine, supporting the diagnosis of various diseases. With a wide choice of tools and techniques to detect staging illnesses, it provides physicians with actionable insights into a patient’s structural or disease-related changes. Today, it’s safe to say that medical imaging is vital for managing diseases and leading a patient’s care journey to success.

However, despite its numerous advantages, patients are often found “radiophobic” or exhibiting non-pathological feelings of fear and anxiety, preventing them from undergoing medical imaging procedures. Having witnessed how radiophobia hinders physicians from delivering impactful care, Dr. Jorge L. Sarmiento, a radiology specialist, established Professional Radiology to offer highly-reviewed care to patients in El Paso, Texas. A radiologist-owned, patient-centric diagnostic imaging center, it specializes in delivering accurate, meticulous imaging services with utmost compassion and empathy.

With the focus on a hands-on, precise approach deeply embedded in its DNA, Professional Radiology emphasizes patient care by educating them with instructions, relevant information, and guidelines before each procedure to relieve their fear and anxiety. It considers a patient’s comfort the topmost priority and ensures they have a clear understanding of the processes, from scheduling an appointment to receiving test results.

When a patient approaches Professional Radiology, its dedicated team of radiologists promptly gathers the information by listening to them and guiding imaging and care based on their varying needs.
