Vascular Screening Services and Their Benefits

$125 includes

• Carotid Artery Ultrasound

• (Carotid Doppler)

  • Benefits:

    • Detects plaque buildup and arterial narrowing that increase stroke risk

    • Noninvasive, painless, and quick (typically 15–30 minutes)

    • Guides treatment decisions (medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical referral)

    • Useful for patients with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking history, or family history of stroke

• Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound

• (AAA Screening)

  • Benefits:

    • Identifies abdominal aortic aneurysms before rupture

    • Simple, noninvasive imaging; typically completed in 15–30 minutes

    • Enables monitoring of aneurysm size and timely surgical referral when needed
