Why We Don’t Do In-House X-Rays

A quick note — we don’t perform in-house X-rays. The reason?
In-house systems often produce poor image quality, and the set-up, positioning, and execution are inconsistent at best.

When imaging is necessary, we refer you to trusted radiology centres in Cape Town that provide:

High-quality digital X-rays or MRIs
Professional reporting by radiologists
Online access to your images, which we can review together

That means you get accurate results, not fuzzy shadows that lead to bad calls.
