One To Two Hours Before The Test:
Empty your bladder. Do not empty your bladder again until after the test is done.
If you have a bladder catheter, this should be clamped 1-2 hours before the test.
One Hour Before The Test:
Drink four, eight-ounce glasses of fluids.
What To Expect:
Ultrasound is usually painless. However, you may experience mild discomfort.
A typical ultrasound exam takes 30 minutes to one hour.
Gel is put on the skin and a scanner is placed on the area, or in the vagina, to get a picture using sound waves.

I saw Dr. Jennifer Steines and was very happy with her. She explained my condition and options very well. She gave me a sheet of written instructions and where to purchase necessary items. Her nurse was equally good and was professional but personable. I really appreciate their care for me I give them high recommendations.

I've never had a negative experience at The Group! From annual exams, infertility treatment, the birth of our son, and then treating complications after birth, the providers were amazing. Not once did we feel like a number. I commute over 2 hours to stay with The Group because I've yet to find any other provider that comes close.

Everyone is kind and helpful. By far one of the best medical practices I’ve been to. The environment is very friendly and it is clear they have your best interests at heart! They are also very prompt and clear with scheduling appointments. Been here several times and every time I leave very happy and satisfied with the level of care I’ve received.

Wonderful customer service and very helpful! Wish I could keep going to them but recently moved out of state. Whenever I have called or gone in for an appointment they have always been super responsive and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
