Florida Institute of Ultrasound, Inc. 8826 North Davis Highway, Pensacola, FL 32514

"This place is great. I loved being able to go in and get extra pictures of my baby. The students were very friendly. Quality of ultrasound photos weren’t the greatest, but I loved the extra time seeing my baby. Thank you."

"I was referred here after my 20 week ultrasound since we were unable to determine the gender of the baby due to its legs being crossed. The students there were all really friendly.  It was nice to get the extra chance to see our baby and watch her move around. They took the extra time to explain what the different pictures they were looking at and also let us just watch her move. We were able to go home finally knowing the sex of our baby and got several pictures. Overall we had an excellent experience."

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time while being a volunteer at the Florida Institute of Ultrasound. It was an easy process from setting the appointment to locating the Institute. We loved the fact that the students spent ample time with us looking at our little baby boy and teaching us what were were looking at on the screen. They are generous with the printed 2d pictures. The students were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. You can tell they were excited and happy to be there with us during this special time. While having a professional ultrasound from our Dr. is great, it's unfortunately very fast and we don't get as much time as we'd like. Thank you again, FL Institute of Ultrasound. We can't wait to go back to see our growing bundle of joy!"

"I am so glad I found this place! The military hospital, though my doctor is awesome, does not provide many prints and they do not allow children into the room-- along with many other restrictions. This place allowed all my sisters, my mom, and my husband to watch the ultrasound! I'm so glad that they could have that experience! The students were really nice and very excited:) the instructor came in a few times to help out as well when my baby was being stubborn. I was REALLY surprised I got so many prints (military hospital only gave me three, but the institute gave me nine)! Totally free and an enjoyable experience! Those students were so sweet to me"

"Someone recommended to me that I volunteer at The Pensacola School of Ultrasound as a way to get in a few extra ultrasounds as most insurance plans cover very few through out the pregnancy and I am a SUPER worrier. Let me first say that I could tell that the students really appreciated my time and were very friendly. However, the lady running the place I could not say that much for. She seemed too busy to show any type of appreciation for volunteers.At my first appointment the students hadn't been instructed as to how to lock the bed down and when I went to lay down, the bed moved and I almost fell. At the last appointment I had, the student was doing just fine getting the images she needed when all of a sudden the lady comes in the room and presses way harder than necessary on my stomach. I now have a bruise. It was so painful that I felt a strong urge to urinate. I have never had anyone doing an ultrasound press that hard on me nor have I ever felt the need to urinate during one before. The first time we went we asked for printed images and decided to purchase their thumb drive for 15$ we received no prints. Now, I know full and well that the 2 young ladies took over 20 images. However there were only 9 copied onto the drive- which was done by the lady in charge. The room was barged into several times with the door remaining open sometimes around a minute with zero knocking and what felt like zero privacy all the while my pants pulled down and shirt pulled up. I do understand that the students are just that, students. What I don't understand is why the person that is supposed to be training them for this field has such a lack of personality skills or bedside manner. When my appointment was done (which the lady in charge barged into the room telling the student that there was another appointment she needed to be done with me), the lady handed me my jump drive and didn't bother to ask me back. When I first contacted this place I tried for several weeks until whomever runs their facebook page argued with me about not being able to get in touch with them even after I had left about 5 messages that had not been returned. On their website it states that if you volunteer for 2 2d ultrasounds, you receive a free 3d for providing your time. When we asked about scheduling a 3d today the lady in charge said that they aren't doing them and when they do start back they will be picked at random. That kind of makes me feel like I was not only slighted but wasted time and money. I wouldn't advise volunteering at this place unless rude people are your thing."
