Elective ultrasounds are optional, non-medical scans designed for bonding, keepsakes, and gender reveals — not for diagnosis or treatment. They are NOT covered by insurance.
Medical ultrasounds are diagnostic and ordered by your doctor to monitor your baby’s development and health. While they are typically covered by insurance at the Doctor's office, we unfortunately can NOT accept insurance.

Yes, elective ultrasounds are safe! All our scans, including 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D/HD Live imaging, are conducted by trained professionals and adhere to FDA guidelines. We ensure scan times are within recommended limits.
The best time for detailed images is between 26 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Earlier scans may not show facial features clearly, while later scans might be limited by baby’s position.
Absolutely! We offer gender determination ultrasounds starting at 12 weeks and early gender DNA blood testing as early as 6 weeks with 99.5% accuracy.
No referral is needed for either entertainment / elective ultrasounds or medical ultrasounds.
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to improve image clarity. A light snack 30 minutes before your scan can sometimes help wake baby up!
Yes! We welcome all your loved ones to share this special moment—our cozy, family-friendly viewing room is designed to accommodate everyone you’d like to bring, so you can enjoy the experience together in comfort and style. It's the perfect setting to make memories that last a lifetime.
At View A Miracle, we want you to leave with special pictures you’ll always remember. If we can’t get clear photos of your baby’s face during your first visit, we’ll invite you to come back one more time within 1–2 weeks for a re-scan(this doesn’t apply to special deals). We’ll do our very best to get those adorable shots!
There is a $75 sitting fee that you pay at your first visit. This fee is non-refundable and is part of our 3D / 4D / 5D / HD Live ultrasound packages. If we get good pictures at your second visit, you’ll just pay the rest of the package price. But if your baby is still hiding and we can’t finish the session, you don’t have to pay anything more.
