Sarah Pender

CVT, Clinical Sonographer - Quad Cities and Western Illinois

Sarah joined SVS Imaging in 2019, bringing extensive experience in veterinary medicine and a passion for ultrasonography. A 2002 graduate of the Bel-Rea Institute of Veterinary Technology, she also earned a Certificate in Practice Management from Purdue University in 2014 and became an SDEP-certified sonographer in 2020. With a background spanning general practice, dentistry, ophthalmology, pathology, and emergency medicine, Sarah thrives in fast-paced environments. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, fishing, and archery. She lives in the Quad Cities with her two daughters, several cats, and two dogs, Gus and Mini.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and SVS imaging company. Sarah always tries to make herself readily available and we can often schedule her coming to our clinic within a very quick timeline. The turnaround time to get the report from the radiologist is very quick as well. My clients are very happy that we can go from scheduling an ultrasound to getting results often within 24 to 48 hours. The images she captures and the accurate interpretation of them have been invaluable. The reports are detailed and helpful, often providing suggestions of further testing, and doses of medications that may help my patient's condition as well. Sarah's availability, speed and accuracy of capturing accurate images, turnaround time, and the high quality of interpretive reports are top-notch. I am very happy to have found this company.

Furever Family Veterinary Care Center
SVS Imaging provides a wonderful mobile ultrasound service. Appointments are easy to book and Sarah promptly returns calls. Being able to keep our patients in clinic instead of having to refer them to a specialty hospital has been ideal. Results are available within 24 hours allowing us to streamline our diagnostics and lets us start treatment for patients sooner.
Dr. Narske
Rock Island Animal Hospital
SVS Imaging provides comfort to our clients by knowing they no longer have to travel to another clinic for ultrasound diagnostics, not to mention, their results will be known within 24 hours. Our ultrasound technician, Sarah, is an absolute pleasure to have at our clinic when a patient needs an ultrasound. She is always able to come see us in a timely fashion, is on time and ready to go upon arrival. She is very thorough and always strives to get the most complete ultrasound with the most representative images of each case. The team at SVS Imaging are just as determined as we are to get the proper diagnosis for our clients. SVS Imaging provides us with a detailed report and suggestions that help us better care for our patients. They have helped expand our practice to offer an added service that we have had to refer out for years. We are grateful for their service!
