All examinations except standard X-rays are by appointment only. Please bring your health insurance card and a requisition form from your healthcare provider.
Please arrive on time, and kindly call us if you are unable to keep your appointment time. Late arrivals may necessitate rebooking.
We strive at all times to stay on schedule; however, examinations occasionally take longer than anticipated. Please allow plenty of time for your appointment.
Wear or bring comfortable clothing without metal buttons, buckles or zippers, which may overlie the area being examined.
Please inform us of any mobility limitation prior to your examination.
Please do not bring any child requiring supervision during your examination.
Please do not wear any fragrance, as other patients may be sensitive or allergic.
PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS: Stay on prescribed medications. However, if you are diabetic, and your exam requires a fasting or "clear liquids only" diet, request an early morning booking time, and discuss possible stoppage or reduction of insulin with your physician.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS: These limitations apply only to examinations requiring your entire weight on the examination table. Some exams may be performed without putting full weight on the table. Call for more information.
