Since 2009, we have been showing families their babies for the first time holding space for that first glimpse, that first gasp, that first real experience with baby.
That work, watching families fall in love before birth, has shaped everything about who we are and why we do this.
And after all of these years, it led us somewhere we didn’t fully anticipate.
We started asking: what if we could show up for this community in MORE moments that matter?
That question became Diagnostics by First Look.
Same heart. Same intention. Expanded care for the moments in life that deserve to be held with the same warmth and attention we’ve always offered.
We’re so grateful for every family that trusted us to be part of your story. This next chapter is for you, too.

At Diagnostics by First Look, we've always believed the experience matters just as much as the appointment itself.
From transparent pricing to thoughtful communication and a welcoming environment, everything we do is designed to help you feel informed, respected, and supported from the moment you reach out.
Because it's never just about the scan.
It's about feeling comfortable asking questions. Knowing what to expect. Understanding your options. And feeling cared for throughout the process.
Healthcare can feel overwhelming enough. Getting the imaging you need shouldn't.

Most people have no idea what actually happens during an abdominal ultrasound. So let us walk you through it.
Before you come in, we send prep instructions when you book. No guessing, no day-of confusion about whether you can eat or drink.
When you arrive, check-in is quick. Your sonographer will come get you when it's time. No sitting in a waiting room wondering what's next.
During the scan, a small handheld device is moved across your abdomen with warm gel. That's it. Sound waves create the images. No radiation, no needles, no recovery time needed.
Afterward, your images go to your referring provider or directly to you if you're self-referring. The next steps are between you and whoever is interpreting your scan.
If something here made you think of a question, ask us before you book!

First Look Nola is a self-pay imaging center so the path from "I think I need this" to "I'm walking in" is short, clear, and yours to control.
Choose your service. See your price. Pick your time. Show up.
The traditional route works for a lot of people, and it should. But if you're carrying a high deductible, working around limited coverage, or just don't have three weeks to wait.. there's another way to do this.
DM us BOOK to get started.

The hardest part of imaging usually isn't the scan. It's not knowing what the process looks like before you commit.
So here it is:
Choose your service.
1️⃣ Pick your time. Most appointments available within the week.
2️⃣ See your price upfront. Flat rate, no insurance needed.
3️⃣ Show up. 30–45 minutes from check-in to walking out.
4️⃣ Leave with your next step clear.
No surprise bills. No three-week wait.
DM us "PRICE" for the cost of a specific service, or "BOOK" if you're ready to schedule.

Self-pay sounds more complicated than it is.
It means you pay directly for your scan. No insurance involved. No claim filed. No surprise bill showing up six weeks later asking for more.
You see the price. You book the appointment.
For a lot of patients, especially anyone with a high deductible, limited coverage, or no coverage at all.. self-pay ends up being the more affordable path.
At Diagnostics by First Look, the price you see is the price you pay. .
If you're trying to decide whether self-pay makes sense for your situation, send us a DM.

Hi, I’m Sarah.
Boy mom. Sonographer. And the heart behind Diagnostics by First Look.
For over a decade, ultrasound has been more than a career. It’s been a calling that’s shaped me from the inside out.
My years in the hospital, working across Abdomen, OB/GYN, Breast, and Vascular, refined my eye, strengthened my skill, and taught me the quiet responsibility that comes with this work.
The kind that lives in the smallest details. And the moments that matter most.
Moments filled with anticipation, emotion, and everything in between.
Somewhere along the way, this work became deeply personal. Walking alongside a family member through a difficult health journey showed me just how powerful imaging can be between the clarity it brings, the reassurance it offers, and the role it plays in guiding care when it matters most.
That experience, paired with years of hands-on expertise, is what led me to build Diagnostics by First Look.
A space designed with intention.
Where compassion meets quality, and care feels both elevated and accessible.
Where patients are met with warmth, respect, and attention that never feels rushed.
Where affordable, high-quality diagnostic imaging is available to this community in a way that feels both professional and personal.
Every detail here is thoughtful.
Every experience is meaningful.
And every person who walks through the door is at the heart of it all.
We’re so glad you’re here.
