What to Expect When You Visit Us for an X-Ray

At Saint Alphonsus, we make getting your X-ray simple and convenient. In most cases, you don’t need an appointment. If you have an order from your healthcare provider, you can visit any of our clinics and be seen the same day.

The cost of X-rays varies depending on the type of exam, so we encourage you to call the clinic prior to your arrival if you have questions about pricing. In general, our clinic exams are more affordable than similar exams done in the hospital setting, helping you save money while still receiving high-quality care.

Before you arrive, be sure to wear clothing that doesn’t have metal, buttons, or embroidery in the area being examined, since these can interfere with the imaging. If needed, we can provide you with a gown to wear during your exam to ensure accurate results.

Concerned about radiation exposure? General X-rays use a very low dose of radiation, especially with today’s advanced digital technology. Our trained Radiology Technologists take careful steps to keep your exposure as low as possible while still producing clear, accurate images.
