Why Choose Us?

Because we know ultrasound, inimitably.

You will always work with the owners of the company, not high pressure sales people.

Because ultrasound is what we know best.

At Priority Medical, you’ll always work directly with the company’s owners and leadership team—not with quota-driven sales reps. That means expert guidance, transparent communication, and solutions tailored to your needs, without the high-pressure sales tactics.

A Commitment You Can Count On

With all the various ultrasound companies on the internet, we know it is hard to choose a vendor.

It seems everyone claims to have the best price, service, or product. However, our customers often tell us of “less than satisfactory” experiences they have had with other companies and make it a point to express their satisfaction after working with us.

We will always provide you with a clear and honest description of our products and will stand behind them. By consistently providing the services and quality of products we do, we have experienced continual growth and have a long list of satisfied customers that use us exclusively for their ultrasound needs.

In the end, it is all about our business ethics and our determination to “do things right”.

We do not make promises we can not keep and we do not deceive our customers. Here at Priority Medical, we believe this is the only way to conduct business.

–- Geoff Updike / CEO

 

A Commitment You Can Count On

With so many ultrasound vendors online, choosing the right partner can feel overwhelming. While many promise the lowest price, best service, or newest products, our customers often share how their past experiences elsewhere fell short—before finding lasting satisfaction with Priority Medical.

We believe in keeping things simple: clear and honest product descriptions, reliable equipment, and a team that stands behind every sale. This approach has fueled our steady growth and built a loyal community of customers who trust us exclusively for their ultrasound needs.

At Priority Medical, our guiding principle is straightforward: do things right. We don’t make promises we can’t keep, and we never compromise honesty for profit. For us, strong business ethics aren’t a marketing slogan—they’re the foundation of how we operate every day.
