We are able to determine the baby's gender to a very high degree of certainty. Depending
on your baby's gestational age we are able to accurately determine the gender. If we are
not able to tell with certainty at your first visit you will be invited to reschedule at no charge
for a quick peek at a more favorable time.

Many factors affect the quality of the images including fetal position, amount of amniotic

necessary to repeat the scan at a later time when the position has changed. We want you
to be happy with the quality of the exam and we encourage you to share any concerns with
us prior to leaving your session.
