The Toms River X-Ray Difference

X-Ray, CT, and MRI Center was founded in 1981 and is the oldest and the largest privately owned imaging center in the area. The practice began when Radiologist Dr. Parviz Khorrami decided to leave the hospital system and open his own practice. He opened a small office on Route 37 with a single X-ray machine. Dr. Parviz Khorrami has slowly built his practice up over the last 30 years to now having over 40 employees and offering all imaging modalities.

The team at Toms River X-Ray is now run by his son, Dr. Cyrus Khorrami, who completed his Radiology residency at Cooper University Hospital. Patients will immediately feel a different level of comfort when treated at Toms River X-Ray, CT, and MRI Center. Large corporations or hospitals run most radiology practices, but Toms River X-Ray is a family-run practice. There used to be lots of privately owned radiology centers. Over the years, it because harder and harder to stay independent. Those other family run, privately-owned centers either closed down or were absorbed by larger radiology groups. It is a story we have all seen a million times. The family owned stores cannot compete with the corporate chains.

Family Run

“My father founded our practice. My mother has been the office administrator for many years. I serve as the medical director. As with any family-run business, we take pride in what we do and work hard to provide the very best service possible. In my experience, larger corporations have less flexibility and less a person touch. We try to be as helpful and understanding as we can. We care deeply for our patients and strive to treat each and every one like they are a part of our family. I believe that is the reason we are able to prosper.”

Continuing to Advance

Dr. Khorrami enjoys the field of radiology because there are constantly new technologic breakthroughs and advances in imaging happening. He adds, “It is extremely important to have the most state-of-the-art methodologies and to hire and retain the bests staff.” He makes it a priority to keep in close contact with the referring physicians he works with. “All doctors should work together as a team to provide the very best and most complete care for our patients.” Part of his responsibility involves working closely with other referring physicians to help guide diagnosis and treatment for his patients. Once he is able to help figure out the cause of a patient’s symptoms, he can quickly direct appropriate treatment. This can potentially result in catching life-threatening illnesses as quickly as possible.

All of their radiologists are highly trained and have many years of experience. Almost all of them have advanced subspecialized training from top academic centers. This allows them to provide the type of quality care seen at any university hospital while still providing the personal attention and level of service of a family-run business.
