Clifton and Passaic County: Local Context

Clifton is the largest city in Passaic County, with a population of more than 90,000 residents spread across a diverse mix of neighborhoods including Allwood, Athenia, Botany Village, and Richfield. It is one of the most densely populated communities in Northern New Jersey and home to a large, medically active patient base.

Passaic County as a whole has limited access to dedicated outpatient imaging compared to neighboring Bergen County. Open MRI 17 was built to close that gap, giving Clifton residents and their referring physicians a nearby, advanced alternative to hospital-based imaging.

Patients from nearby Passaic, Paterson, Nutley, Garfield, and Wallington also find our Paramus location an easy, convenient drive for MRI, CT, ultrasound, and X-ray services. Many of our Passaic County patients also read our guide on open MRI versus closed MRI before their first visit.
