What to Expect When You Get an X-Ray

At Saint Alphonsus, we make getting an X-ray quick and easy. In most cases, you don’t need an appointment. If your healthcare provider gives you an order, you can go to any of our clinics and usually be seen the same day.

The cost of an X-ray depends on the type of exam. If you have questions about pricing, we recommend calling the clinic before your visit. In general, getting an X-ray at one of our clinics is less expensive than going to a hospital, while still providing high-quality care.

Before your visit, wear clothing without metal, buttons, or heavy stitching near the area being examined. These can affect the X-ray image. If needed, we will give you a gown to wear during the exam.

If you are worried about radiation, X-rays use a very small amount, especially with today’s modern equipment. Our trained staff work carefully to keep radiation as low as possible while still getting clear images.If you’d like to learn more, you can visit xrayrisk.com for details.

Our goal is to make your visit fast, comfortable, and stress-free so you can get the answers you need.
