Radiology practice opens newest L.I. location

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, the largest private radiology practice on Long Island, opened its newest location in Levittown on Oct. 31. The new office is located at 3235 Hempstead Turnpike, making this their 7th location in Nassau County, and 18th location overall.

This office brings patients the latest diagnostic technology, including 3T MRI, CT, PET/CT, X-ray, 3D mammography and bone density scans.

“We wanted the outside to portray the quality of technology that is on the inside, such as our MRI machines and CT scanners.” Said Catherine Masci, the building’s designer, about the modern look of the building. The new office is at the site of the former Israel Community Center, which closed in 2008 and was demolished in 2013.

“The development of this property which has been vacant for so long is worth celebrating,” said Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray. “That an innovative and thriving business such as Zwanger-Pesiri has chosen to come to Levittown makes this even better.”

Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is a patient-centric practice and has become well known for their fast turnaround time of results. They employ over 50 subspecialty-trained radiologists who only read studies within their field of expertise. According to CEO Dr. Steven L. Mendelsohn, this leads to 90 percent of the studies being read within one hour. The results and images of exams performed at any Zwanger-Pesiri facility are posted on the Patient Portal for the patient to access at his or her convenience. Patients can then securely fax or email their information to additional physicians with just a few clicks.

“We are excited to add this new facility and staff to the Zwanger-Pesiri organization,” Mendelsohn said. “Our goal is to provide easily accessible, superior, outpatient imaging to all of Long Island, and this office takes us one step closer. We are eager to bring our professional expertise and paramount patient care that we are known for to the community.”
