Expanding Cardiovascular Imaging Access & Services in Tallahassee, Florida
Geography: Urban
The Challenge
With only one in-house sonographer, the clinic accommodated just 8-10 patients per day, leading to frequent appointment cancellations. A five-month wait time created additional barriers to access and placed pressure on referring providers. Patients needing vascular exams had to be referred externally, resulting in missed opportunities to serve both new and existing patients. Without formalized workflows or scheduling practices, daily patient volumes and clinical efficiency remained low, further limiting the clinic’s ability to meet patient needs.

The BB Imaging Solution
BB Imaging placed two full-time sonographers and one float sonographer, each with over eight years of cardiovascular experience, while planning for a third full-time placement to support future growth. Within weeks, BB Imaging began working alongside clinic leadership to open a second exam room, optimize scan times, and standardize scheduling practices. The team equipped the clinic with everything it needed to launch onsite vascular services, allowing patients to receive more complete diagnostic care.
By establishing streamlined protocols and clearer communication pathways, BB Imaging helped foster a more efficient and collaborative environment for providers and their patients.
