Appointments:

X-rays are done on a first come, first served basis. We do not make appointments for x-rays.
We try our best to see everyone before closing but may have to stop taking patients later in the afternoon if we have enough patients to keep us going until the end of our day. For this reason we recommend you come in before 3:00 or 3:30 pm if at all possible.

Bone Density and Ultrasound exams are by appointment only. If you do not arrive on time for your scheduled ultrasound appointment we may have to reschedule due to time constraints.

For Screening Mammography please call the Screening Mammography Program of BC - 250-716-5904
