We partner with Carilion Clinic for most of our pediatric x-rays. They have several locations available. Often you can just walk in and get the x-rays taken, it can make it faster though to make an appointment. Also, if you call to pre-register that will get you in and out faster too. Some of these can take 1-2 days to be read by the radiologist and come back to the office.
If you would like to use a different imaging center that is closer to your house just let us know. The doctor can give you a printer x-ray prescription to take there. Many free-standing imaging centers have a minimum age of 14.
We partner with Carilion Clinic for the bulk of these tests. We will order the test and send it to Carilion and then you call to schedule. They all have to be scheduled beforehand. Often they take 3 or more days to have results come back. Don't be shy about calling us if you haven't heard anything for a while though.
They could tell you to go to any one of several imaging locations or may give you the choice for where you want to go.
Some CT scans and most MRIs will require prior-authorization from your insurance company before they can be done. Please do not wear clothing with any metal fasteners or buckles if you are going for an MRI.
