T&K X-Ray Consultants, Inc. began when T&K President Terry Hart was approached regarding x-ray equipment for a Chiropractic office being built in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Equipment was found and it was all to the liking of the coach coordinating the new clinic build for a major chiropractic coaching organization. At the time Terry was working with a regional x-ray company based in Northern Minnesota. After review of the clinic purchase and experience of getting the office into State Department of Health (DoH) compliance, Terry was asked about working with this organization on a National level. Initially Terry declined citing logistics of how you would provide adequate “local” service when you are based halfway across the country! Persistence won the day after Terry determined that he could compile a network of trustworthy “local” dealers to work with and offer volume pricing, while still being able to determine that the clinics would have service in a timely manner. This has grown over the last several years and T&K has been instrumental in the building of over 90 new clinics for one coaching organization alone! The goal is still the same; T&K works as the liaison between the doctor and the dealer to ensure that the doctor is getting the absolute best value when he is in the market for either a full clinic set up, or just the acquisition of digital imaging equipment. We work with chiropractic clinics from the start to the finish when opening a new office or upgrading equipment. We design lead shielding plans to be state code compliant and coordinate with their general contractors, plumbers and electricians. We offer deeply discounted equipment pricing through local dealers and provide direction on which used equipment to buy and which to avoid.
