Mark Beller, M.D.

Diagnostic Radiologist

Dr. Mark Beller obtained his medical degree from New York Medical College in 1995.  After graduating, Dr. Beller did a year of internal medicine at the combined UCLA-Cedars Sinai medical internship program. Subsequently, his five-year radiology residency and fellowship training program was completed at the UCLA Department of Radiological Sciences.

Dr. Beller’s fellowship at UCLA was multi-disciplined, centered upon advanced cross sectional imaging and oncology. His training concentrated upon hepatobiliary imaging including liver MRI and MRCP, genitourinary imaging including female pelvis MRI and CT Urograms, and PET scanning. Immediately out of fellowship, Dr. Beller was recruited by Renaissance Imaging to be part of a subspecialty team that provides the highest quality of imaging services to the Antelope Valley. He has quickly earned respect and praise from his colleagues in practice, as well as the referring physicians in the community.  He specializes in diagnostic radiology at California Health & Longevity Institute.
