Founded in 1953, Wake Radiology is proud to have earned the trust of patients and providers alike.
Patients in the Triangle understand the important role radiology plays in healthcare. In a recent independent study by Public Policy Polling, 95% of adults report they believe radiology is important to overall healthcare, and a large number recognize there is a “significant difference in quality” among the area’s providers. Wake Radiology enjoys the highest favorability ratings of any Triangle radiology practice—nearly twice that of the next outpatient medical imaging provider. In addition to this distinction, adult men and women prefer Wake Radiology to any other group by nearly three to one. Wake Radiology is also a preferred outpatient imaging provider for Triangle providers, which further fuels our commitment to deliver a superior level of care. For 60 years, our physicians have introduced the technologies and delivered the conclusive reports and clinical decision support that can make the difference in routine or lifesaving healthcare decisions.
Wake Radiology understands that people may be tempted to believe that all imaging is equal or that low-cost radiology is “good enough.” As an integral partner in the continuum of patient care Wake Radiology recognizes the importance of quality and value in the services we provide. |
Our radiology offices offer evening and weekend hours and walk-ins are welcome for select exams.
Wake Radiology now has outpatient offices conveniently located throughout the Triangle. Our offices feature convenient, well-lit parking, and many have evening and weekend hours. MRI services are provided seven days a week with early morning and late evening appointments available. Wake Radiology can therefore accommodate appointment requests within just a few days, if not hours. For our screening mammography patients, same-day appointments are available and walk-ins are welcome. We simply require that eligible women have visited their physician within the past 18 months. And routine diagnostic X-rays are also available on a walk-in basis if a patient has a signed physician referral. View our locations
True physician subspecialization and expertise
As the region’s largest radiology practice, Wake Radiology brings together the knowledge of nearly 50 radiologists who perform close to 600,000 procedures each year. Our clinicians are highly trained in their subspecialty—just like our referring physicians—and come from the finest universities and teaching hospitals in the country. Our physicians are board certified by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and highly trained in their subspecialty. Many radiologists hold a Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in addition to their fellowship training, and all of our physicians voluntarily participate in the ABR Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program.
Wake Radiology’s unique breadth and depth of clinical expertise ensure that all outpatient imaging studies that require interpretation by a radiologist who is fellowship/subspecialty trained on that topic occur. For example, all spine MRI studies are read by an expert in neuroimaging or orthopedic radiology, and screening mammograms are never interpreted by a pediatric, neuro or orthopedic radiologist. However, the consistency in our core training enables everyone to deliver skilled interpretations on the more standard diagnostic exams.
