"The acquisition of East Bay Medical Imaging is a key to the growth of our imaging network in that it complements our current, strong Northern California presence. Our management had previously identified the East Bay area of Northern California as a key market for growth and expansion. This acquisition allows InSight to further expand its footprint in this important market," noted Louis S. Schnierer, Jr., Ph.D., InSight’s area vice president – enterprise development for Northern California.

"Furthermore, this acquisition allows us to forge an important partnership with Drs. Riley and Chen. These skilled and well respected radiologists truly understand and value the importance of delivering quality, integrated radiology and consultancy services; and, it is these services that have differentiated them in the San Ramon marketplace to date. Their consistently high quality imaging interpretation and consultancy services focuses on the importance of the patient and their referring physician. Now, we will work together to grow the business even further based on their personal and consultative approach," Schnierer concluded.

Dr. Chen added. "Our foremost priority is making certain that the physicians and patients that we serve are appropriately cared for and receive the attention they deserve. We recognize that the service we deliver is as important as the technology we employ to obtain results. By partnering with InSight in San Ramon and Pleasanton, we can enhance the offering we bring to doctors and patients through the provision of personalized service and novel technologies. We look forward to establishing a long and productive relationship with InSight and to better serving the East Bay medical community."
