It’s always a good sign when you see the radiologist and you don’t feel like just another number, or like they’re trying to rush you in and out of your appointment. A good radiologist is invested in you and takes the time to understand any issues you may have.

Detailed & Thorough

When it comes to medical imaging, it’s crucial that your radiologist pays attention to detail. After all, the images they take are needed to make an accurate diagnosis.

If you find your radiologist taking multiple images, this is a great sign they’re being thorough — the more images they have, the more accurate your diagnosis can be.

Knowledgeable

Having a good idea of medical conditions, especially common ones in radiology, is also important and can make the patient experience much better.
