Dale Skrnich, Chief Operating Officer and Phillip Fortenberry, M.D., PresidentM&S is an independent physician group offering a range of on-site and off-site radiology services for outpatient imaging centers, hospital systems, standalone ER hospitals, and minor emergency clinics, covering all imaging modalities. Its comprehensive subspecialized diagnostic and interventional services include body imaging, breast imaging, musculoskeletal radiology, neuroradiology, pediatric radiology, and vascular and interventional radiology. Adding to this is its extensive teleradiology network that offers medical imaging programs tailored to the unique needs of healthcare facilities.
“As we do not have a cookie-cutter approach, we can provide seamless coverage to all kinds of facilities, from urgent care facilities with low acuity, fast-paced imaging to facilities with highly subspecialized higher modality imaging,” says Phillip Fortenberry, MD, president of M&S Radiology.
M&S provides rapid, concise, and accurate interpretations of all standard general radiology examinations round the clock via its teleradiology technology platform, along with detailed system-specific results from its large team of subspecialty-trained radiologists in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, and body imaging.
“What empowers us to achieve these feats is our organizational structure and the people behind it,” states Dale Skrnich, chief operating officer, M&S Radiology.
As an organization wholly owned and run by radiologists, M&S’s laser focus falls on the needs of the contracted facilities and patients. The group has brought together a network of prominent adiologists, an expert administrative team, and industry-leading technical support. The facilities have direct access to M&S’s teams, enhancing the speed and quality of imaging services. M&S also has an in-house quality assurance team that assists facilities with quality metrics and improvement programs.

How M&S aids different healthcare facilities with its vast expertise can be best reflected in a recent client success story. An urgent care facility recently sought the help of M&S to implement a cost-effective full-featured imaging system. The client had their PACS that clinicians used to view images. When that system was down with technical issues, M&S went above and beyond to provide services that weren’t initially contracted, including image archiving, image sharing, and disk burning for patient images in a HIPAA-compliant manner. Thanks to their partnership with M&S, the client didn’t lose a single patient image. This also shows how M&S offers solutions and services on the fly while partnering with clients.
M&S is swiftly becoming the go-to radiology service provider for healthcare facilities. The company’s broad expertise in the imaging domain can be a game-changer for facilities looking to adopt a distributed radiology model.
