Veterans now have more direct access to the Radiology scheduling team, making it easier than ever to manage their imaging appointments.

By calling the main facility line at 918-577-3000, selecting option 2 to make, change, or cancel an appointment, and then option 5 for Radiology, Veterans can speak directly with scheduling staff.

This streamlined process is designed to reduce wait times, improve access to care, and provide a better overall patient experience. Direct access to Radiology scheduling is part of the facility’s broader efforts to deliver prompt and efficient healthcare services to Veterans.
