MRI
We are proud to offer in-office extremity MRI services. MRI is an essential diagnostic tool utilized by our orthopedic surgeons to assist in your diagnosis. It provides a view into the human body to compliment x-rays and other diagnostic techniques. Our MRI is an open system providing for a relaxed and comfortable exam. It has the capability to scan children and adults up to 440 pounds. Patients may bring a CD of their choice to listen to while being scanned. A private dressing room is available and our qualified, compassionate technologist is always present during your scan. Appointments and results for your MRI are usually available within two days. Our goal is to offer MRI services better, faster and less expensive than other MRI facilities in our area. We make patient care, comfort and convenience a top priority.

Community Athletic Programs
Yearly, Orthopedic Associates physicians participate in community athletic programs by volunteering their time to perform athletic sports physicals at both Chico High School and Pleasant Valley High School. OANC physicians also volunteer their time to be the "physician on duty" at both Chico High and Pleasant Valley High football games.

OANC physicians were pleased to be the team orthopedic surgeons for the Chico Heat semi professional baseball team. Dr. Alan J. Azevedo continues to be the team physician for intercollegiate sports at California State University, Chico.
