Testimonials

I have been in practice for sixteen years and have come to really appreciate consistency, competence, and excellence in the people I work with. While I technically can ultrasound my patients, I much prefer ArkLaTex Imaging for my cases. I can rely on the accuracy and thoroughness of each reading, and I can confidently tell my clients that the results from the ultrasound are correct. Ultrasound in particular needs practice and experience to do them well. I do not practice enough to have images nearly as good. If you want an accurate ultrasound done in a timely manner, contact ArkLaTex Veterinary Imaging.
Sabina Squires DVM, CVA Halcyon Veterinary Hospital (Bossier)
State of the art medical diagnostics with a, "big heart!" That's the phrase that comes to mind when considering calling Hagen Johnson, at Ark-La-Tex Veterinary Imaging. Any practitioner can purchase an ultrasound machine for a reasonable price, but there is no substitute for the experience and insight that Hagen can provide. One of my first patients was my own precious Winston, and as both the doctor and the pet parent, he was so compassionate and patient throughout. Definitely gives you both definitive information and insight.
Becky Kieffer, DVMNatchitoches Animal Hospital
Ark-La-Tex Vet Imaging is wonderful and easy to work with. Hagen has great availability, especially for emergencies. He is able to acquire images efficiently which lowers stress on patients. This also decreases the need for clinic staff assistance. Turn round times for results are good. The reports are easy to read and written by specialist, which are available for questions about the cases as an added bonus.
Dr. Michele Lee Tanner DVMAll Cypress Veterinary Hospital (Marshall)
Hagen with Ark-La-Tex Veterinary Imaging is my trusted mobile ultrasonographer and LVT. He has helped me with many cases that I would otherwise not have been able to improve by myself. He is always on time, available when needed, and very thorough. The referral process is easy, and the turnaround time is unmatched. The Arklatex is fortunate to have Hagen and so am I.
Dr. Tiffany Naar Bossier Animal Hospital
For years I have used another Ultrasound Technologist and found myself in a bind on a difficult case and my previous provider recommended Hagen. He was highly recommended because they had trained and worked together. Hagen was very thorough, personable and professional. I am glad to have two sources for ultrasound diagnostics and highly recommended his services.
Glen A Ritter DVM Riverside Animal Hospital (Bossier)

Dr. Randee MonceauxValor Veterinary Emergency Hospital (Bossier)
I value having Hagen teach labs in the courses I teach; he is an excellent instructor. My own personal expertise lies in having been an echocardiographer and clinical instructor at Colorado State University for the past 4 decades.
