Christine Stoskopf
- Christine Stoskopf has served as medical director at Ultrasound Institute Medical Group Clinic (UIMG Clinic) for the past five years. She is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School where she did her residency in Diagnostic Radiology and received her board certification. Following that, she did an additional two-year fellowship in Pediatric Radiology before she and her husband settled in Phoenix, Arizona to practice.
Dr. Stoskopf has a long work history in Phoenix, Arizona. Before UIMG Clinic she began as a pediatric radiologist at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and also did adult radiology at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center for seven years. Following that, she spent 17 years with Valley Radiologists, which is a large office and hospital-based radiology practice that serves the west end of Phoenix.
Coming to West Coast Ultrasound and working at UIMG Clinic was a natural next step, which allowed her to focus on a passion for teaching in addition to performing quality Diagnostic Radiology. Her commitment to teaching is reflected by her three sons who presently attend post graduate programs in medicine at The University of Southern California Medical School, in sociology and teaching at Michigan State University, and in molecular biology at Princeton University.
Her goal is to maintain a practice of high level sonography at the UIMG Clinic. There is a commitment to producing quality work while guiding the sonographers who staff the Clinic. In addition, she gives daily conferences to the externs, during their externship, as a final step in their training at West Coast Ultrasound.
Producing quality diagnostic imaging through ultrasound and teaching the sonographers and externs, at UIMG Clinic, allows her to play-out this commitment, as she continues to serve the community of Phoenix.

Samanthali Hernandez
- My name is Samanthali Hernandez, I am ARDMS registered and have been in the medical field for 15 years now. In the summer of 2006 I began my exciting career in ultrasound at West Coast Ultrasound Institute located in Ontario, CA. I graduated in 2008 and received my diploma for Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. I relocated to Phoenix, AZ to pursue my ultrasound career where I worked for a privately owned medical facility as their lead sonographer and medical billing assistant. In February 2011 I began to work for Ultrasound Institute Medical Group in Phoenix, AZ. I started as a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and was later promoted to clinic manager.
In April 2014 I was transferred to Ontario, CA. I am currently the clinic manager and the day sonographer. I work with the clinic director in organizing and arranging health fairs that UIMG participates in where we provide free non-diagnostic ultrasound screenings, such as Carotid ultrasounds and breast ultrasounds. I am all for providing excellent patient care and customer service to all our surrounding communities, referring midwives, and referring physicians. I love the team I work with here in Ontario they make my job very interesting and exciting every day.
In my 15 years in the medical field I have learned one needs to be humble, do your work well and smile even if you are having a bad day, be patient with all your patients, treat everyone how you wish to be treated, treat all your patients as if they were a member of your family, and don’t give up no matter what the situation may be, eventually everything happens for a reason. During my spare time I love to spend time with my 12 year old son and family.
