Our Scan Appointment

What to expect at your appointment:

Most appointments last around 45 minutes, depending on complexity. Depending on your symptoms and with your consent, the scan may include a transabdominal scan over the lower tummy and a transvaginal scan for higher-resolution detail. You are always in control, and the scan can be paused or declined at any stage.

Preparation

You may be asked to attend with a comfortably full bladder for the first part of the scan. If an internal scan is performed, you may then be asked to empty your bladder. Full preparation details will be included in your booking confirmation.

Your report and next steps

You will receive a secure digital report, a clear explanation of the findings, and guidance on next steps if further assessment is recommended.

I had an amazing experience — very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. She was super helpful, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly professional throughout. She made me feel completely at ease. Such a down-to-earth lady that you can feel genuinely comfortable with. Her prices are so reasonable and very affordable too. I highly recommend Andrea
