Flushing, NY Xray Duplicating
While working as a radiographer in a busy New York x ray department, a personal injury lawyer asked me, "Why does it take so long to get x-rays copied at a hospital?" It was this question that inspired me to start Legal X-Ray Duplicating in 1996, and it is still the most frequently asked question by new clients.
Having worked in overworked and understaffed New York xray departments, I knew the answer was simple - Priorities. X ray in New York hospitals is all about performing as many procedures per day as possible. Xray Techs are instructed to copy xray films when there is slow day or they have free time - two things that are practically non-existent in NY xray departments. As a result, xray copy requests pile up rather quickly. A request for special services like digitizing x-ray films can take even longer or in some cases is not even offered.
Lawyers spend more time waiting for x-ray copies than any other professionals. Many times they must wait weeks to get xray copies from hospitals and clinics. This wait sometimes causes court postponements or even the need to subpoena the films. Such a wait is totally avoidable. Legal X-Ray Duplicating makes these x ray copies within hours, not weeks. Unlike hospitals and clinics, x-ray copying is our highest priority. So rather than going back to the hospital and waiting weeks, our clients send their films to us for quick and professional x-ray duplicating, saving them time, money and aggravation.
When I was first asked "Why does it take so long to get x-rays copied at a hospital?" my response was, "Aren't there any private companies that copy x-ray films?" The answer was "No." I then said, "There soon will be." It was then that I decided to start a company that would specialize in copying medical film.
My initial goal was to take what New York x ray departments considered their lowest priority and to make it my highest. Since then, Legal X-Ray Duplicating has evolved into New York's premier full-service medical imaging company. Offering film to film copying, scanning of medical films onto disc, printing films from disc, blow-ups for presentations and many other specialized services, we now do it all.
What was started as a NY xray service for personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys has grown to include hospitals, medical facilities, medical accessing companies, insurance companies and individuals from all over the United States. All of these clients had one thing in common; they needed a fast, secure and professional way to copy medical films. Since 1996 we have grown to meet our clients' needs and we hope to service all of your x ray duplicating and medical imaging needs as well.
