1st Glimpse Inc.

After my doctor informed me they don’t do 3d 4d ultrasounds, I decided to research places so I could have it done.
This place had good reviews, close to home and the best prices around… win win win. I came in at 32 weeks which I think now was too late to do it. My baby is already in position and might just stay there till the big day. I was only able to get her profile which was fine but was hoping to get her entire face. Other than that, I was glad she was doing great in there and her heartbeat was good.
The location is busy but I found parking out front with no problem (meter parking). The place is clean and smells great. The staff is friendly and welcoming which is nice. The room which they do the ultrasound is big with a good size couch for up to 5 people to come and join you when you have this done. The tech was very nice and was helping me try to see if the baby would move to get a good angle. They allowed me to go outside and get something to drink with the hopes she moves and tried again.
From my experience here are some tips:
Try to come before 32 weeks. The baby might be in position and you probably won’t see the entire face. Also it’s tight in there by this time and the placenta might be in the way like my experience.
Drink a lot of water before hand for clearer imaging. Some say days before.
Start to drink water about a half hour before your appointment. You need your bladder full but you don’t want it overly full because it will be so uncomfortable and hard to hold during the ultrasound.
Carry something sweet like soda or candy in the event the baby is not cooperating and needs a pick me up.

I had such a wonderful experience with the 4D sono of my twins. I was a little nervous about whether or not we would get good pictures becuase I was already 28 weeks and with twins, that’s pretty late making it difficult to see clear shots of the babies. The tech was super sweet and friendly. Very welcoming to my husband and I as well as my mother and mother in law. The room was big enough for everyone and the viewing screen made it easy for us all to see what was happening. The process is longer and more tricky with twins but the tech didn’t rush us and took her time to get us the best photos. I would recommend and go back in the future.

One of the reviews for this place tried to imply that the employees wrote the reviews. I don’t know how true that is. Sucks some of you had such a «terrible» experience. My wife and I absolutely had the best experience when we went on Saturday. The guy at the front desk was very welcoming. The waiting area is a comfortable one. Our tech was Shai. I hope that’s how you spell it. Pronounced shy.
She made us feel even more comfortable than we already were. She was chatting with us, explaining things very clearly etc etc. Not once did we feel uncomfortable. I have my off days at work as well. We all have, and will continue to. Maybe that’s what the situation was for some of you. But, remember… sometimes we as the customers can be difficult to deal with as well. I give this place a full 5 stars. Well deserved and keep up the good work. I hope your business continues on with great success. And the heartbeat sounds great to me. Stop complaining about the sound. It’s not a Bose recorder. PEACE!!!

I really had a very good experience with them. you can make appointment online and choose ur package. they were prompt, professional and very sophisticated. the décor of this place is far better than any beauty salon or spa’s in new york. they have a beautiful room for ultrasound there is a seating place for ur partner and family members. they play shooting music the whole time. All in all it’s a gem and highly recommended.

I previously reviewed this business thinking they were a different business (clear image).

Very nice place. Extremely satisfied with the visit. Has a big room if you want to bring family. Our baby wasn’t cooperating, and the technician did not give up. She was very patient. The lady at the reception desk told us we can walk around till i feel the baby moving or come back next week since our baby did not move her hands of her face after trying for 30+ min. Thank you 1^st glimpse for a good experience.

I’m usually not one for writing reviews but my motivation for this review stems from the god awful experience my wife had while performing the procedure at this office this past Saturday morning. This was a very happy day for us as we were looking forward to seeing our child for the first time and to our surprise when we walked into the office there was a woman dressed as a technician or a nurse sitting in a chair playing with a handheld video game completely ignoring us while gentleman behind the counter was quick to ask for his hundred dollars. While following the technician into the room she continued to play with her game ask my wife to sit down rudely and then continue to play her game telling us that she did not know how to pause it and that we will begin in a few minutes. Granted most of these visits depends on the babies cooperation is well but we kinda felt that this woman did absolutely nothing to help out. I would never recommend this place to anyone save your money. The outcome was a DVD that was incomplete music was not working and a very bad taste in our mouths.

I am one to read reviews on EVERYTHING before I buy or before i try somewhere new. Honestly, I think this place wrote these reviews themselves. Was not a good experience at all for me and my husband. We were very excited about our 3D/​4D ultrasound scan but this place just ruined the experience for us. As soon as we walked in the ultrasound room, the technician was pretty rude. Not even a «Hi» «How are you»…just a «Lay down». She seemed like she had better things to do and she was not friendly at all. She made rude comments and did not say much unless she complained about the positioning of the baby. I get that’s not her fault but at least be a little more friendly! Also, the TV to view the ultrasound was not clear at all. It was blurry and there were colored vertical lines on the tv… definitely need to upgrade their equipment. The colored pictures printed nicely but the black and white ones look as if they were almost out of ink.
Overall, not a welcoming environment; If you’re looking for an enjoyable experience, which I’m sure anyone who’s doing a 3D sonogram expects, then please don’t go here. Look elsewhere. The only think I’m happy with is the teddy bear with the baby’s heartbeat, but even that sounds distorted and loud. Wish I had a better experience here!

Great place, very comfortable great setting for mom and dad. While I’m on the table dad is on the sofa watching it on the big screen. The tech was so sweet sorry I didn’t get her name. Nice young woman. She made sure we got clear images.

Great place! Parking on Sunday wasn’t an issue. The guy at the front desk was very nice and so was the sonographer. My husband and I had a great experience. They have several packages with a wide range of prices ($ 35 — $ 300) with ‘add ons’ if desired. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We got the $ 120 package: A 15 minute DVD of the 4D Ultrasound, a CD with 37 digital photos, 6 print out photos, and a stuffed elephant (or teddy bear, or Monkey — your choice) with the baby’s heartbeat inside! The session was about 30 minutes. Would love to do it again and would recommend without hesitation. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for this experience!!!

Great place to come to if your super anxious about finding out the sex of your baby. I made an appt for the gender reveal at 16 weeks and I was told it was a boy! My own doctor confirmed it was indeed a boy on my scheduled 20 week anatomy scan. They even give you a little surprise at the end of your ultrasound :)
The 1^st Glimpse office is super chic and modern. They have rooms big enough in case you want to bring family members who want to be a part of the experience and a huge flat screen TV so no one is squinting.
I am hoping to go back in once I’m further along for a really good 3D experience!
