Ed Swager, chief executive officer for RAF, attributes the practice's recent growth to a number of factors.
"We are expanding services to a growing population while, at the same time, compensating as senior partners have reduced their hours," he said. "RAF radiologists provide 24/7 coverage to Mary Washington Hospital and Stafford Hospital, as well as four medical imaging centers and our outpatient center for Virginia Interventional and Vascular Associates.

"Hiring top medical talent also allows RAF to continue our tradition as an early adopter of proven technologies," Swager added. "Our radiologists introduced virtual colonoscopies to the area more than two years ago, for example, and also were early adopters of digital mammography. Our interventional radiology and vascular specialists perform cutting-edge procedures ranging from uterine fibroid embolizations (UFEs) to aortic stent grafts."
RAF's four newest physicians are Drs. Joseph M. Bestic, Vishal Bindal, John D. Gleason, and Narinder Sethi.
