New Huntington Office Now Open!

On December 2, 2016, Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, the largest private radiology practice on Long Island, opened its newest location in Huntington, New York.  The new office is located at 326 Walt Whitman Road in Huntington, immediately south of the Walt Whitman Mall and one mile north of the Northern State Parkway.  This is Zwanger-Pesiri’s fourteenth office in Suffolk County and their twenty-second overall.  This office brings the latest diagnostic technology, including 3T MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-ray, 3D Mammography and Bone Density (DEXA) scans to the town which is well known for being Walt Whitman’s birthplace. Whitman is among the most influential American poets and is often credited as being the father of free verse. 

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is a patient-centric practice and has become well known for their fast turnaround time of results.  They employ over 50 subspecialty-trained radiologists who only read studies within their field of expertise.  According to Dr. Steven L. Mendelsohn, Chief Executive Officer, this leads to 80% of the studies being read within one hour.  The reports and images from exams performed at any Zwanger-Pesiri facility are posted on the Patient Portal for the patient to access at his or her convenience.  Patients can then securely fax or email their information to additional physicians with just a few clicks.

“We are proud and delighted to be opening an office with such a convenient location for many people.  We are always striving to make the best imaging easily accessible because we understand how important time is to our patients.  Our 3T MRI system is considered the best imaging tool available and allows for MRI scans to be completed in less than ten minutes,” said Dr. Mendelsohn.  “It is always exciting to open a new office and offer the best services to a new community.”

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

In October 2015, a new era in women’s healthcare began in the United States.  The American Cancer Society released new guidelines, recommending that women receive annual screening mammograms between the ages of 45 and 55, and then every other year after the age of 55.   

This differs from their original criteria, which stated that women should get annual mammograms starting at the age of 40.  The American College of Radiology and the Society of Breast Imaging agree with the original standards, and argue that the new guidelines contradict the research that has regularly appeared in medical journals.  That is, early detection is the best prevention against breast cancer.  Is breast cancer detection continually being undermined by the insurance companies to increase their bottom line, at the expense of early detection?  Are women’s medical rights continually being eroded by the government and insurance companies?  

Ninety percent of breast cancer survivors, as reported in the medical journals, have survived due to early detection.  With new technology, such as 3D mammography and full breast ultrasound, continuously proving to increase early detection and to save lives, we at Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology strongly agree with the American College of Radiology and will continue to recommend that women receive annual mammograms beginning at age 40.
