New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics brings quality, affordable diagnostic imaging to patients in doctors’ offices, clinics, and care facilities.
Our customers include an array of doctors’ offices, clinics, care facilities and self funded corporate plans.
Imaging provides the first “look” at a medical issue, so accessing quality imaging is a critical step in a patient’s health journey. Unfortunately, high health care costs, consolidating hospitals, and concerns over COVID exposure mean that fewer people are getting imaging procedures. Our Mission:
New Frontier believes everyone deserves to get their medical questions answered affordably, safely and reliably. Our mission, “Imaging for Everyone,” means getting quality imaging to people where they need it, in a familiar setting, and without it costing thousands of dollars.
NFMD has chosen GE Vivid and Logiq Ultrasound Machines, which are capable of pulsed wave, continuous wave, color, and power Doppler capabilities. A variety of high-quality GE transducers allow a variety of scanning options, including echocardiograms, vascular, abdominal, musculoskeletal.

New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics was started in November 2019 in Kansas City, Missouri. We’re headquartered in the heart of Downtown Kansas City, at 1301 Oak Street.
Our goal is to improve access to care and health equity for patients needing diagnostic imaging care.
New Frontier attracts top quality sonographers by providing them with salary and benefits focused on work-life balance.
Our sonographers are aligned with Interpreting Physicians from Healient Physicians Group, Kansas City Pediatric Cardiology, and TeleRad Connect. We adopted their imaging protocols and integrated their feedback into our ongoing quality assurance processes. We know exactly what physicians will read our studies, and when pathology is found, they are directly available for consult.
In the end, we provide high-quality imaging at affordable rates for patients when they need it, where they need it.
