Q. What is the best time to come in as a walk-in patient for x-rays?
A. This is difficult to say as each exam can take a different amount of time to perform and patients are taken on a first come first serve basis. If your time is limited it is best to make an appointment at one of the following locations - 450 Central Ave., 595 Bradley Ave., 190 Wortley or 1657 Dundas Street.

Q. Why are there no x-ray appointments available at Byron?
A. At Byron there is only one general x-ray technologist. This makes it too difficult to take both appointment and walk-in patients.

Q. Is there parking?
A. At 450 Central Ave., there is a $3.00 deposit. Let our receptionist know that you paid a deposit and we will give you a card for a $2.00 refund. Parking is free at our other four locations.
