    About Fetal Fotos

    In 1994, Board-Certified obstetrician Leon Hansen, M.D., recognized that his patients relied a great deal on their medical ultrasound to better understand their pregnancy.  He wanted to offer greater choices to expecting women, but a physician's time is short, and such requests are rarely covered by insurance.As a result, he created an affordable ultrasound service designed to enhance the routine medical ultrasound experience to better serve the patient's needs and concerns.  He developed a staff of clinical technicians with highly advanced skills in parent-focused imaging and the newer 3/4D technology, with a unique focus on patient education."As physicians, we shouldn't have to choose between providing quality medical care and creating a positive patient experience," says Dr. Hansen. "Ultrasona exists to give providers a resource to better serve their patients without loss of time or resources, and to give patients direct access to more choices in consultation with their provider."
    Fetal Fotos offer affordable access to superior prenatal ultrasound. Fetal Fotos perform limited medical fetal surveys and compliment these services with our HD LIVE 3/4D imaging. Our patients enjoy only the highest quality service and medical standards.
