— From Booking to Results —
We know having a medical professional come to your home can feel unfamiliar. Here's exactly what happens — step by step — so you feel completely prepared and at ease.
Whether you're booking a single scan, a multi-study package, or enrolling in our monthly membership program — here's exactly how the process works, beginning to end.
Book one scan online — no referral, no wait. We arrive at your home with hospital-grade equipment, perform the study in 30–45 minutes, and deliver your cardiologist-reviewed report by email within 24–48 hours. $397 all-inclusive.
View Individual Scans →Choose a multi-scan bundle — Stroke Prevention, Heart Failure, Diabetic, Vascular, or Comprehensive Cardiovascular. All scans are performed during a single appointment (1–3 hrs), reported together by Dr. Gandelman, and delivered as one complete clinical picture.
View Packages →Enroll in BlackPoint Concierge to receive one cardiovascular scan per month at your home — at a permanently locked rate. Pay a one-time activation fee at signup, then month to month with no commitment. Cancel anytime.
View Membership Plans →For most scans, no special preparation is needed beyond wearing comfortable clothing and clearing a small space in your home for the sonographer to work. For abdominal aortic (AAA) and kidney arterial scans, we ask that you fast for 4–6 hours beforehand — food and gas in the abdomen can obscure ultrasound images. Water is always fine to drink.
None at all. Ultrasound imaging is completely non-invasive. The only sensation is the transducer (probe) being moved gently across your skin with a small amount of ultrasound gel — similar to lotion. There is no radiation, no needles, and no compression.
Loose, comfortable clothing that's easy to lift or adjust. We provide everything needed for modesty and privacy — gowns for cardiac imaging and disposable draping for lower extremity scans. You will never be asked to be more exposed than is necessary for your specific scan.
Absolutely. Spouses, family members, or a support person are always welcome to stay in the room during the scan. We want you to feel completely comfortable and informed throughout the visit.
Our sonographer will not provide a diagnosis on-site — all interpretation is performed by our reviewing cardiologist. This ensures your results carry the clinical authority of a specialist's written report. You'll receive your full report by email within 24–48 hours of your appointment.
If our reviewing cardiologist identifies a finding that warrants prompt attention, we will contact you directly and can help coordinate next steps with your primary care physician or a specialist. Your report will always include clear, plain-language recommendations for follow-up care when appropriate.
The appointment process is identical — we come to you, set up, and perform all ordered scans in sequence. The difference is time: a single scan takes 30–45 minutes, while packages run 1–3 hours depending on the studies included. You'll still receive one unified report covering all findings, typically within 24–48 hours of the appointment.
After enrolling, you book your monthly scan through our scheduling system — same process as a one-time booking, but your rate never changes. Your sonographer arrives, performs the scan, and your cardiologist report arrives within 24–48 hours. You choose a different scan each month if you'd like. You are month to month from day one — no contract, cancel anytime.
