First View Ultrasound Center

Our experience with First View went above and beyond our expectations. My husband and I are expecting our first and wanted to surprise our family with the gender while we were visiting CO as our Christmas present to them. I was 16 wks at the time of the ultrasound, and Todd was able to find the gender, no problem.
The ultrasound room is very nice, with lots of space and seating for guests. All technology used seemed to be top of the line, and my husband loved being able to see our baby on the huge TV screen.
Todd was extremely personable and professional. He made us feel like we were family and went out of his way to make us feel important and appreciated. We received lots of high quality pictures and multiple CD’s. I would highly recommend First View!

Staff/​Ultrasound tech was amazing. Very personable, friendly and made the whole experience comfortable. LOVED the experience. Would certainty go back and or recommend to others

My husband and I are expecting our first child, and when we decided to get a 3D/​4D ultrasound, my OB recommended Todd @ First View. I am a radiologist, and my OB must have known that I needed an extremely experienced sonographer (so that I would not end up micromanaging the entire experience).
Todd was very professional, friendly, prompt and courteous. Baby was unfortunately not cooperating for much of the ultrasound and kept hiding his adorable face behind his chubby hands and feet, but Todd was very patient and had me reposition several times and used sound to have baby move his extremities out of the way. I was really impressed with how successful Todd was in obtaining pictures despite an uncooperative baby.
We were overjoyed to meet our son face to face and I cannot recommend this service more highly.

My wife and family just had a great experience here… The room was very comfortable for everyone and Todd was especially patient with us. The baby kept putting his hands and feet in front of his face but Todd was still able to get good positions for the right pictures. Thanks so much for making this a wonderful experience and for going above and beyond.

We just had the most amazing experience at firstview ultrasound! we were just treated like royalty by Todd, we got a lot of pictures of our little one! Excellent Service!
Don’t look any further for your ultrasound!
Thanks Todd for the first view of my Boy!!!

My husband and I just couldn’t wait to find out what we were having so we made an appointment with First View and got in the same day! Although the office isn’t the fanciest, the room that you go into to have the ultrasound done is quiet and cozy. The owner, Todd, is SO nice and made us feel so comfortable! He didn’t rush us, answered all of our questions and offered us both tissue when we burst into happy tears upon hearing the news that we were having a boy. He truly seems to love his job and took his time making our little guy show us the goods. He’s done 20,000 ultrasounds and it shows! We were so happy that we did this and will definitely go back if we have more babies! Thank you, Todd!

My husband and I went in for an ultrasound to find out the gender of our baby. The technician was really nice and did a great job. We loved the pics and the video, and will be back for the 3D ultrasound later in the pregnancy. The environment is relaxing and spacious and we had a great overall experience.
thanks!

I recently went in this past week for a 3d/​4d ultrasound at 27 weeks pregnant. I purchased the Gold package which was listed as $ 159.00 but totaled out to $ 175.00. PRICEY! I figured it would be worth it, so I paid and was quickly escorted to the ultrasound room. The room was really nice, and I liked that the lighting was dim and they had a comfortable couch in the room for my husband and son. Unfortunately, I felt rushed. My daughter wasn’t cooperating, and the pictures were surprisingly blurry! My pictures came out nothing like the pictures that are posted on the website! I drank over 8 glasses of water the previous 2 weeks, and it still didn’t help. I feel that the man that performed the ultrasound didn’t quite know what he was doing. I was told when I scheduled the appointment that I would receive 2 big 3d pictures of my choice, but the man decided he would pick which ones, and the ones he picked weren’t clear at all and weren’t what my choice would have been. I think next time, I will not be doing a 3d/​4d ultrasound at this place. The dvd was nice but I don’t think 28 minutes of blurry pictures with limited variety of positions was worth almost $ 200! The ultrasound tech didn’t even bother to ask me if I was satisfied with the pictures or how my experience was. Like I said, I felt very rushed and was mostly disappointed. :/​And I wasn’t alone in that feeling, my husband felt the same way.

We had to wait a while for the current group to finish up and leave before we could go in. The couple who had an appointment after us arrived for their appointment while we were still waiting (I don’t know if they came in early, or what). There was only one room/​tech available at the time, which I think is standard for this place.
During the ultrasound, my daughter apparently wasn’t cooperating. When the tech was preparing our prints/​CD, I could see the list of other customers. We had the least amount of pictures taken, and our session was the shortest. I was really upset about that, and I regretted not speaking up and asking for another session at a later date, in hopes that my daughter would cooperate.
In all, if/​when we have another child, we will strongly consider coming back to First View, and if I am not happy with the results, I will be sure to speak up about it. I would recommend them to others.
**Edit: Originally my review was for 3 stars, as I felt this particular visit was «A-​Ok.» I received a message from the owner (tech mentioned) and he brought up the fact that if I wasn’t happy at the end of the visit, I should have mentioned it and they would have corrected it. The tone of the message was sincere and very nice. Due to that fact, I am raising my review up a star. He cares about his company, and admittedly I didn’t give him a chance to make things right at the time. So kudos, Todd, for taking the time to write a nice, respectful message in response to my review. That speaks volumes.

I made an appt here for an elective 2D ultrasound a few weeks ago (I think the 3d ones are creepy). I wanted to bring the in-​laws to take a peek at their grandbaby. Scheduling was easy, and I got in within a day or two. Everything was clearly explained to me over the phone and also on their website. I was 28 weeks pregnant at the time of the appt.
I showed up a bit early for my 3 pm appt. We had to wait a bit, as the appt before ours went a bit late, so we didn’t get started until 3:18 pm (I checked the clock on the ultrasound machine).
The ultrasound room is more like a movie screening room– there’s a table for the mama and chairs/​couches for the guests. The ultrasound is projected onto a screen for all to see, which was cool– no neck-​craning for me to be able to see what everyone else was looking at on the tiny ultrasound machine screen.
The u/​s machine was much higher tech than ones I’ve had used during my normal doctor appts. Even in 2d, it gave much clearer pictures. He switched over to 4d for a second and that was cool to see as well.
The in-​laws LOVED the experience of seeing their little (or not so little) granddaughter moving around. They were on cloud 9 for days. I’ve had 7 ultrasounds so far with this pregnancy, so I have a few comments:
I paid $ 107 for what amounted to a barely 15-​minute ultrasound. I got a disk of the images taken (around 70, with many taken in quick succession so they look like previous ones) and a video of the whole shebang. They offer online viewing for out-​of-​state family members to watch, and I think they also post the pics online for a limited time.
The owner, who gave the ultrasound, was very good about pointing out what was what. However, he kept the wand moving so that you couldn’t really watch her movements. I know he was trying to highlight certain body parts (heart, profile, etc.), but I would rather have had him leave the wand in one place and let us just watch her for a bit. This would have made it very tricky for anybody viewing online or watching the video later to keep up– lots of jerky movements of the wand so you don’t really know what you’re looking at without the «guided tour.»
I feel like the ultrasound could’ve been a bit longer given the price, but my in-​laws were so over-​the-​moon ecstatic, I can’t complain too much. And it was awesome for me to have an ultrasound that was so relaxed! I left with a ton of pics to share and with 2 very happy grandparents-​to-​be, so it was well worth the $ 100 price tag! And if I change my mind about the 3d/​4d, I can go back for another u/​s at a discounted price!
