What patients are actually saying
Staff are excellent. Responded immediately and with caring to my urgent situation following a post MRI diagnosis and scheduled a follow up CT scan within a day of contacting me. Outstanding group.
I had a CT scan as I did not want to wait six months for the hospital to call me. I would gladly pay to relieve my anxiety. Canada Diagnostic was excellent! Very clean and professional centre with lovely friendly staff. From the receptionist to the technician, all were caring and welcoming. I definitely would go there again as it was 100% worth the money.
Got an MRI here today cause I was going to have to wait 6 million years to get one with MSP. I have to say that if you haven't heard a magnet scream, then you are missing out. For the same price as a concert ticket you can lay down and relax in a delightfully cramped and unnecessarily noisy metal tube while getting a part of you scanned. The service here is top notch, everyone was polite and professional. The best part (apart from the musical styling of the magnetron) were the pjs they had me in for the scan. Would recommend, would get scanned here again. If you are in the area...go get a scan! Just get an appointment first.

Frequently asked questions
Does Canada Diagnostic Centres accept MSP?
No — this is a private-pay clinic. It is DAP-accredited (the same quality standards as MSP-billing clinics) but its ultrasound is not billed to MSP. A doctor's requisition is still required.
How much does an ultrasound cost here?
Pricing is not published — call ${clinic.phone} for a quote. Class B clinic ultrasound costs typically range $150-$400 for diagnostic, $400-$700 for specialty (echo, vascular Doppler).
How fast can I get an appointment?
Private-pay clinics typically offer same-day to 1-week appointments — often much sooner than the MSP path.
Will my extended health benefits cover this?
Some extended health plans (Sun Life, Manulife, Pacific Blue Cross) cover private ultrasound. Coverage varies by plan — confirm with your insurer. The clinic may or may not direct-bill; ask before booking.
Do I get the results sent to my doctor?
Yes — the clinic sends reports to whichever physician you designate (your GP or specialist). For your own records, ask for a copy at the visit.
