History


Keith M. Sterling, MD, President

Association of Alexandria Radiologists, PC (AAR) has been providing comprehensive diagnostic imaging and treatment services throughout the Northern Virginia area since 1970. Our radiologists and interventional radiologists work closely with regional medical and surgical specialties to provide a full range of imaging services. Fellowship-trained organ specialists use all imaging modalities to provide accurate diagnosis, consultation and intervention while utilizing state-of-the-art equipment.

AAR was established in 1970 to provide radiology services at the Alexandria Hospital (now Inova Alexandria Hospital). We have
expanded our practice to other top community hospital facilities, including Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, Inova HealthPlex and Potomac Hospital. Our outpatient centers allow you to receive this same high standard of care in the comfort of a private office. We have convenient Northern Virginia locations in Alexandria and Woodbridge.

Our facilities are staffed with highly qualified technologists and exceptional support personnel. The result is the highest quality images for advanced diagnoses so that you receive the most timely treatment. Rest assured that when you come to AAR for your radiological evaluation, you are in the best of hands.
