While concerns swirl around reimbursement and reform, the majority will continue to do business as usual instead of closing up shop and working for a hospital or conversely, becoming a concierge physician. At [**United Medical Instruments, Inc**.](http://www.umiultrasound.com/index.php) we have pledged ourselves to becoming the premier resource for **[private practice physicians](http://www.umiultrasound.com/ultrasound-specialties/family-practice-ultrasound)**. What does this mean? To us, it means understanding your challenges from an administrative perspective, a clinical view, and a marketing standpoint. We ask ourselves how we can make your life a little easier. In the next year we will be announcing some new programs for our existing customers and for any physician looking for a source of reliable information and education to help grow their ultrasound practice. Currently, however, we offer a consultative approach to physicians interested in ultrasound equipment for their office. Although **[SonoSite portable ultrasound](http://www.umiultrasound.com/ultrasound-machine/sonosite)** systems are easy to use with a quick learning curve for clinicians, we work with you to identify your specific needs and meet your budget. A **[refurbished ultrasound system](http://www.umiultrasound.com/ultrasound-machine/used-ultrasound)** from GE Healthcare or a cart based unit from Zonare may be a better option for you depending on your clinical applications. ![sheild fs](https://info.umiultrasound.com/hs-fs/file-23015897-png/images/sheild_fs.png?width=75&height=87&name=sheild_fs.png)Once a system is purchased, or even if you have an existing ultrasound system, United Medical Instruments, Inc. offers onsite training for your staff, online ultrasound demos, and **[service contracts](http://www.umiultrasound.com/ultrasound-service/service-plans)** to keep your ultrasound investment in good working condition. ![new store collage2](https://info.umiultrasound.com/hs-fs/file-23015925-jpg/images/new_store_collage2.jpg?width=200&height=119&name=new_store_collage2.jpg)While you are busy running your practice, managing your patient load, and keeping up with the latest health care trends, rely on UMI for your ultrasound needs. So pull out your laptop, tablet or Smartphone and shop our online store to keep your practice stocked with necessities such as ultrasound gel, transducer cleaner, and media storage, visit **[www.umistore.com](http://www.umistore.com/)**   Topics: [UMI Blog](https://info.umiultrasound.com/blog/topic/umi-blog) ### Looking for an Ultrasound Machine, Ultrasound Transducer, Ultrasound Repair or Ultrasound Training?
