Why choose The Focal Zone?

At The Focal Zone, we take the precious time of the doctors and support staff into consideration.

Our certified technicians, Kelly Reschny, RVT & Crystal HillRVT, will come to your clinic, perform the ultrasound on your patient, and provide you with a comprehensive report. The report will include sonographic findings and internal medicine treatment recommendations with annotated images identifying any pathology or areas of interest. If needed, they can perform ultrasound-guided needle aspirates, abdominocentesis or pericardiocentesis.

The Focal Zone will help you get the answers you need quickly all while keeping your cases in-house. You will receive routine reports within 24 hours of case submission; STAT reports within 6 hours.

Diagnostic Ultrasound has become the modality of choice for non-invasive investigation of soft tissue, including the abdomen, heart, thorax and small parts such as thyroid and musculoskeletal structures. The results of high quality, advanced techniques in ultrasound yield a great deal of information in the diagnostic work-up for the general practitioner and specialist alike.

Our sonographers are a collaboration of talented minds hand-picked by Dr. Eric Lindquist and reflect his same style of sonography and approach to veterinary medicine as a whole.

Dr. Eric Lindquist, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice), Cert. IVUSS, CEO of Sonopath, a mobile veterinary ultrasound service, fuels The Focal Zone with Kelly Reschny, RVT & Crystal HillRVT.
