Frequently Asked Questions

I have a valid OHIP card, do I need a referral from my doctor to book my ultrasound appointment?

Can a sonographer discuss the results?

How do I book an appointment?


You can email your requisition form to hamiltonultrasound@hotmail.com or have your doctor fax your referral form to (905) 522-2280, as soon as we receive the referral we are going to give you a call to find a suitable date and time for you to come to our clinic. You are always welcome to give us a call at (905) 522-2220.
