Highly Skilled, Credentialed And Experienced Ultrasound Professionals.
The quality of an ultrasound is not dependent solely on the advanced technologies being used. Ultrasound exams must be performed and interpreted with expertise, knowledge and skill.
Alaska Family Sonograms’ ultrasound technologists are all highly trained professionals and registered diagnostic medical sonographers, some of whom have additional advanced credentials. Having conducted many thousands of ultrasound studies of all types, they possess the knowledge and experience — and the unsurpassed commitment — to provide excellent care and obtain accurate diagnostic results.
Plus, AFS’ exams are interpreted by a highly experienced diagnostic radiologist. In addition, our doctor and sonographers are supported by a team of compassionate, caring people dedicated to patients’ needs and best health.

Member: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine“I decided to become a radiologist when, as a child, I fell in love with the field because of a personal healthcare experience I had with a radiologist.
All these years later and after interpreting the scans of more than 10,000 patients, I still love what I do, especially the intersection between technology and helping make a difference in people’s lives. People are sent for ultrasounds for a number of reasons, all of them having to do with answering specific medical questions. I love being able to answer those questions. Yes, I am presented with challenges each and every day. But I welcome them with determination and true compassion for every patient.”

Member: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nuchal Translucency Quality Review
“I spent more than a decade as a radiological technologist before deciding to focus on ultrasound. This was back when ultrasound was new, and it was a really exciting development. Ultrasound suddenly gave us a new way to evaluate and ‘see’ human anatomy, noninvasively and without using radiation. Quite importantly, it provided new diagnostic information that other imaging modalities couldn’t provide. And I really appreciate that I’ve been able to participate in all the advances in ultrasound since then to improve diagnostic reach and accuracy. But after more than 30 years in medical imaging, I know that diagnostic excellence depends not just on advanced skill and capability but also on a total commitment to compassionate, highly communicative interaction and to always doing what’s right and best for each person.”

Graduate: Burwin Institute of Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Member: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nuchal Translucency Quality Review
“From the first moment that I saw ultrasound being used in a medical setting, I was fascinated by it. And I have been for nearly 30 years. I’m intrigued by not really knowing what we’ll see inside the human body, and I’m excited by the challenge of using ultrasound to unravel that mystery. At the same time, I really enjoy interacting with patients and making their experience comfortable and easy, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. I am compassionate and caring to every patient, and I want them to always feel comfortable and know that I sincerely care about them and their well-being. This includes not making assumptions or guess about their medical situation. For me, ultrasound is about caring enough to insist on accuracy.”
Sonographer

Certification: Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (Ob/Gyn, Abdomen), Registered Vascular Technologist, American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers
Graduate: Ultrasound Program (accredited), Southwest Missouri Allied Health Institute, West Plains, MO
BA: Computer Science, University of Alaska, Anchorage, AK
Member: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nuchal Translucency Quality Review
“Originally working here at AFS as an IT technician, I had the opportunity to see what ultrasound was all about, especially as it is delivered with expertise and genuine compassion. Ultrasound’s capabilities made me want to become a sonographer. In particular, I was drawn in by the ability to track down anatomical problems in real time and ultimately answer the diagnostic question being posed. My goal is to be the mechanism by which people get answers, including directly answering their questions during the exam… and easing their concerns and fears.”

Member: American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography
“I’m a sonographer because I’ve always wanted to do something that helps people. I’ve also found that I really love medical imaging. I like that we are basically medical detectives. It’s our job to find the problem and image it so the radiologist can make a complete and accurate diagnosis. Also, having done this for more than a decade, I really love interacting with people, which I find interesting and enlightening. Like everyone here at AFS, I want to give my patients a great experience, including the hope and comfort they need… and the best ultrasound exam they can get.”

“I started here at Alaska Family Sonograms as a fill-in, but I soon realized that this is a business that really makes a difference in people’s lives… and that I enjoyed being a part of that. Not everyone who comes here is experiencing ‘happy times’ (such as pregnancy), but I know that we can help everyone by providing a vital service with compassion and understanding. And it is important to me that we make each person’s experience the best they could hope for.
