What to expect at your BeSound appointment
Getting there
BeSound is located on the second floor at 8550 Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood, within Parsley Health.
Parking
There is a parking structure in the building with an entrance on Santa Monica Blvd. Once you’ve parked, please take the stairs or elevator to the second floor and follow signs to Parsley Health. You can also access the second floor directly from the parking garage if you're parked on that level.
Arrival
Once on the second floor, you'll see Parsley Health's entrance. Walk in, have a seat and make yourself comfortable in the waiting area. Your sonographer will come get you when it's time.
What to wear
Please wear a top that’s easy to remove and any bottoms you’re comfortable wearing for your scan. You’ll undress from the top down and change into a comfortable robe.
What happens during your appointment
- Your BeSound breast ultrasound screening takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.
- After you check in, one of our all-female sonographer team members will retrieve you from the waiting room and take you to our private screening room. She will provide a comfortable robe for you to change into, then have you lie back to begin your scan.
- Your sonographer will apply warm lotion and use a handheld transducer that gently glides across your breast tissue in systematic sweeps. You'll feel light pressure as the transducer moves, but nothing painful.
- The scan typically takes about 15–20 minutes for both breasts. Your sonographer will explain what she's doing and answer any questions you may have throughout.
After your appointment
Within 24–48 hours, you'll receive an email directing you to your results in your secure patient portal. If any follow-up imaging or appointments are recommended, we'll reach out to you directly during that same timeframe.
What to bring
Nothing. Just yourself.
We have everything we need from your online intake, so there’s no need to bring your ID, insurance card, paperwork, or payment method. The payment method on file will be charged after your appointment, so there’s nothing to worry about on the day of your visit.
