Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology planning two new locations

Long Island, New York-based Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is opening two new locations in Queens that will create 40 to 50 jobs in the area.

These new locations will have three MRI units and capabilities for PET scan, CAT scan, mammography, x-ray and ultrasound. Their services will also include people on-site who speak the languages of the communities they will be serving.

One office will open this summer, while the second is planned to be open by December.
