Physician Owned
Advanced Radiology Services, PC (ARS) formed in 1997 when the independent radiology practices serving Butterworth and Blodgett Hospitals in Grand Rapids, Michigan merged. Several mergers followed including the oldest radiology practice in the United States, Kalamazoo Radiology, which began service in 1897. ARS has grown to become one of the largest private radiology practices in the country, performing 2.7 million studies annually and covering a significant portion of Michigan.
As a nationally recognized practice Advanced Radiology Services provides sub-specialized final reports 24/7. The practice is committed to state of the art technologies from clinical procedures to IT infrastructure and clinical applications, placing us at the leading edge of our profession.
STARS, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARS, provides professional administrative and billing services and is led by experts in practice management, information technology and revenue cycle administration. The focus is on delivering tools, processes and support to help the radiologists be as efficient as possible.
