Our Team and Expertise
While specific radiologists at the Hamilton clinics are not publicly listed, patients are cared for by a team of dedicated and professional technical staff.
All diagnostics are reported by a sub-specialist radiologist from Pacific Radiology's nationwide network of over 80 experts.
This collaborative approach ensures that every scan is interpreted by a radiologist with specific expertise in that area of the body, providing your doctor with the most accurate and insightful report possible to guide your treatment.
Fees & Billing Information
Pacific Radiology operates as a private radiology service. The cost of a procedure can vary depending on the type of scan, whether it is covered by ACC, or if you have private health insurance.
Patients are encouraged to discuss fees and payment options when making their appointment. The team can provide information on estimated costs, ACC co-payments, and any potential surcharges.
It is best to clarify all billing details directly with the clinic prior to your appointment to ensure you are fully informed.
