For many families, the fear of cancer is not abstract — it is deeply personal. It is a story they have witnessed through a friend, a neighbor, or someone they love. Bionicc Body Screening exists because one physician believed there had to be a better way than waking up one day to a stage 4 diagnosis.

Founded in 2022 by the late Dr. Ringold following his own battle with advanced cancer, Bionicc Body Screening was born from both medical expertise and lived experience. After retiring from 40 years in family medicine and becoming a partner in an MRI facility, Dr. Ringold was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, with hundreds of tumors throughout his chest and abdomen. Though aggressive treatment led to remission, the cancer later returned as a brain tumor. Through a groundbreaking clinical study, he ultimately became the longest living patient on record with his specific recurring cancer.

Through it all came one profound realization: he could have scanned himself 12 to 18 months earlier — when the disease may have been stage one.

That realization became a mission.

Today, Bionicc Body Screening offers proactive full-body MRI screenings without requiring a doctor’s referral. These non-invasive scans evaluate from the top of the head through the reproductive organs, assessing hundreds of potential abnormalities including tumors, spinal disc disease, fatty liver, aneurysms, cysts, arthritis, stroke risk, and more. Unlike CT scans and X-rays, their MRI screenings emit no ionizing radiation.

Traditional recommended screenings — such as mammograms and colonoscopies — detect only a portion of cancers. Many occur in areas without routine screening protocols, creating significant blind spots. A full-body MRI helps close that gap, offering clarity while individuals still feel healthy.

The most common concern clients express is simple: peace of mind. Some have recently lost a loved one to late-stage cancer. Others want to establish a baseline or rule out fears tied to unexplained symptoms. What they consistently experience afterward is relief — and a renewed sense of control over their health.

In some cases, the impact is even more profound. One client who felt completely healthy underwent a screening that identified a thyroid nodule, later confirmed to be cancerous. Surgery revealed no residual disease. Another rare cancer was also detected before metastasis. “It is likely that your service allowed these conditions to be detected early enough to prevent serious consequence later,” the client shared in a message of gratitude.

Stories like these fuel the team’s purpose.

Now led by Dr. Ringold’s son Ryan — a Michigan State University graduate who brings decades of marketing expertise to raising awareness — the organization continues the founder’s legacy. The team includes experienced MRI technologists, front desk professionals, and an office manager dedicated to providing a seamless, five-star experience. Clients frequently highlight the wide-bore MRI machine, designed to reduce claustrophobia, and the detailed reports delivered by board-certified radiologists.

Google reviews describe the experience as “top tier,” “relaxing,” and “the best medical experience I’ve ever had.” One nurse of 22 years noted she would give the establishment 10 stars if she could.

Rooted locally, the family behind Bionicc Body Screening mission remains deeply personal: serving Michigan families with proactive care that empowers rather than reacts. The advice they share is simple but powerful: annual checkups are essential, but they leave blind spots. The best time to gain clarity is while you feel healthy — not when symptoms appear.

For Oak Pointe families who value information, preparedness, and peace of mind, Bionicc Body Screening offers an opportunity to take agency over one’s health before crisis dictates the path.
