Gallatin Valley’s sonographer-owned ultrasound clinic.
Sound Diagnostics is an outpatient imaging facility offering OB, vascular, echo and general ultrasound to the greater Bozeman area, committed to quality care, integrity and compassion.
Our founder
Chalah McPherson worked for more than ten years as an ARDMS-registered sonographer at hospitals in Missoula and Bozeman before seeing an unmet need for expectant mothers in the Bozeman community. She founded Sound Diagnostics as the Gallatin Valley’s first privately owned outpatient ultrasound imaging center, providing diagnostic ultrasound for men and women.
Chalah holds a bachelor’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, with a minor in business, from the Oregon Institute of Technology. She is registered with the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography in obstetrics and gynecology, abdomen and small parts, breast and vascular imaging.
Our sonographers
All of our sonographers hold degrees specifically in ultrasound, are nationally recognized with ARDMS, and are board-certified in multiple areas, including abdomen and small parts, obstetrics and gynecology, breast, echo and vascular studies.
