Lance Hughes, Mike O'Neal, and John Relic
Ahead Diagnostics is the brainchild of the partnership of Lance Hughes, Mike O'Neal and John Relic. They have been involved in the development and management of medical imaging and diagnostic facilities for over 20 years. In fact, Mr. Hughes and Mr. O'Neal were integral in bringing the first MRI to Austin! They felt Austin was a great location to introduce the volumetric scanner and apply their medical imaging expertise to the lower face and head. (left to right) Mike O'Neal, Lance Hughes.
