PIKEVILLE, Ky. (November 3, 2026) – Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) is pleased to announce that the PMC Diagnostic Center has been named a Top 5 Diagnostic Center in Kentucky for 2026 by BusinessRate. The recognition is based on verified customer feedback and publicly available Google review data.
BusinessRate’s ranking draws on more than 26 million businesses and 1.7 billion reviews compiled over 18 years. The distinction reflects the confidence and praise of the patients served by the Diagnostic Center each day.
“This recognition belongs to the technologists, nurses, radiologists and lab professionals who care for our patients every day,” said Joni Fields, Senior V.P. Diagnostic Services. “Our patients took the time to share their experiences, and we are grateful for their trust and their kind words.”
The PMC Diagnostic Center offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic services that help providers diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions more quickly. Located beside the PMC Outpatient Pharmacy, the center lets patients who need lab work register and be seen without entering the main hospital. Alongside laboratory services, patients have access to X-ray, bone density scanning and a dedicated PET scanner, as well as MRI, CT, mammography and ultrasound imaging. Experienced radiologists, skilled technologists and nurses support all of these services.
The Diagnostic Center serves patients from across the PMC health system, from routine checkups to advanced specialty care. Providers at the PMC Primary Care Clinics, Specialty Care Clinics, Pikeville Urgent Care & Family Wellness Center and PMC’s other locations rely on its lab work and imaging for preventive screenings, chronic condition management and everyday health concerns. PMC specialists in areas such as cardiology, oncology, endocrinology, pulmonology, orthopedics, neurology, gastroenterology, women’s health
and others order tests to diagnose conditions, plan treatment and monitor progress over time. By offering these services in one convenient location, the Diagnostic Center helps patients take an active role in their health. With upgraded technology and advanced equipment, timely results and more accurate imaging help providers detect problems earlier, which leads to better outcomes.
The PMC Diagnostic Center Drive Thru Lab is a two-bay, climate-controlled facility that lets patients complete tests without leaving their vehicles. With a doctor’s order, services include nasal and throat swabs, blood draws and adult vaccinations. No appointment is necessary.
“Our goal is to make high-quality care easier to access,” said Donovan Blackburn, President & Chief Executive Officer. “Whether a patient is on a lunch break, managing mobility challenges or simply wants a more convenient visit, the drive thru allows them to get what they need comfortably.”
