Our clinic started working with SVS in 2020, and we really weren't sure what to expect having never done something like this. What we go was extremely professional service with thorough detailed reporting that is often received much faster than we expect. Our clients have enjoyed being able to have these services done within the walls of their "home" clinic and being able to have their cases handled with veterinarians they already have relationships with. If we have had questions on a invoice, or need to get a payment made, they make it smooth and easy! We have used their services more often than we ever expected to and could not have been happier! From a personal standpoint - one of my cats was diagnosed with HCM and we've had 3 studies so far. He isn't exactly the best, and doesn't enjoy being held still. With their help we determined the best sedative options for his future studies to keep his stress levels low and still allow Sarah, the technician, to get the data she needs. She is incredibly patient, thorough, friendly and professional. The reports are extremely thorough, including medication recommendations and sedation restrictions if needed. When we've called to consult for additional questions, they have taken the time to answer them as well. What a great team!

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!
Dr. Yerkey

SVS has been a pleasure to work with. We have been using SVS for our Ultrasound needs for over a year now. We always receive professional service at a reasonable cost. Our reports are detailed and always on time. I would recommend SVS to any veterinary clinic. It has been a great way to keep the revenue in our own clinic rather than referral to specialty center.
