In September, 2025 Birmingham Radiological Group launched their Vascular & Interventional Specialists of America (VISA) spinoff venture. The location address given is 3570 Grandview Parkway Suite 100 Birmingham Alabama. It is very close to the Grand View Medical Center Hospital off Highway 280.
After a relatively quiet launch, 2026 saw a major branding push in this company and in May there was a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony.
VISA mentions at the bottom of their website they are affiliated with aXisPoint Radiology, a new group based out of Birmingham. Curiously, a look at this roster turns up many names who also work with BRG.
Interestingly, an MRI diagnostic facility (American Health Imaging / AHI), I also had negative dealings with (there, radiologist Angus Baird MD failed to acknowledge broken skull bone and a several inches diameter mass that showed up in the same area as broken bone on the underside of my skull in CT images) is located in the exact same building! American Health Imaging worked with BRG in some capacity in the past although the specifics are not clear. BRG CEO Doyle Stewart told me in a 2022 recorded telephone call they didn't work with AHI any longer although as of 2025 a webpage is still live on the BRG site showing their MD's listed as working with the outfit.
In December, 2024 American Health Imaging, Inc. (“AHI”) and its former founder and CEO, Scott Arant, entered into an understanding with the U.S. Federal government & The State Of Georgia to pay a settlement of $5,250,000 to resolve kickback allegations that they violated the False Claims Act.
3 member doctors of BRG (Julian Patrick Druhan MD, Angus Baird MD and Donald Shane Kelly MD), radiologists, misdiagnosed medical image scans (X-Rays, CT Scans & MRI I had done between 2018-2019 at Saint Vincent's East Hospital (Ascension) & American Health Imaging). I went into the emergency room and to doctors believing I had broken my neck or skull. The doctors took these scans and typed up in official records I had no injury. I obtained the images and written records later and found in them I had broken the basilar area of my skull & several inches diameter of infection.
-I filed complaints against each doctor in 2021 (dismissed and thrown out unfairly by the Alabama Board Of Medical Examiners).
-Attempted to contact the medical practices who refused to put me in touch with the doctors or correct the errors. (Meanwhile I had medical bills worth thousands stacking up from these same visits and the erroneous readings).
-Called BRG CEO Doyle Stewart in a recorded call you can hear in my videos. Told me he could not help me and would not give me the contact information to speak to the offending MD's personally.
-They play major phone games at BRG and use trick voices etc. Becky Burgess who answered the phone in one call was extremely rude and told me I had the wrong number when I wanted to talk to someone about my Angus Baird MD scan for AHI.
