They are fantastic. They picked up both my childrens kidney problems very early on as well as being very thorough with Anthony's scans and bringing us back in for 3 free scans to double check his heart after the anatomy scan when they thought they may have seen some sort of defect.

Also, amazingly enough they were able to fairly certainly tell me at the 13 week scan that Anthony was a boy. I didn't think it was possible, but they were obviously correct, and I know of several other people that have had the same thing happen.

Im sure what they do is fine - they picked up a heart defect when only 40% are picked up before birth - was hard to miss though id say it was huge - I dont doubt they were good - but there manner was rubbish - glad they worked for you though bobbie!]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:37:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923215&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923215 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923211&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923211 Author: Raspberryjam

good luck for your scan RJ Yes, sounds like the same place on Dominion Rd! There were a few of us who went there at about the same time, and all of us had terrible experiences, so I'm really glad to hear they aren't doing the diagnostic scans anymore. I only went there for the 3D/4D technology (also thinking therefore their machine might have better resolution), but next time I'd probably skip it!

Bonus!! Im too impatient to wait!! and I have a heart babe so wnat a very good check on the new one

We went to dominion road last time - at 19 weeks - when we were diagnosed with Millas heart condition - it was a 4.30 appointment - was clearly obvious there was someting wrong - at 5 to 5 they said oh yeah your baby has a whole in her heart , didnt really explain it at all and then said well we close at 5 so you will have to talk to the specialist about it and basically kicked us out - do not recomment them -
Is that the same place as you blondy?? The apparently arent doing diagnoistic scans for anatomy anymore - just growth scans and 4d cosmetic pics

Hijack away Kalimerella - you can get them at the hospital - but its usually when tehy thing something is wrong or mum has a pre exisiting condition - or you have a sick babe before like us - we are going there but just to check our babys heart.

I would have got the package deal had I have known about hem in the begining but now that im 17 weeks and may not even bother with a growth scan i figured $95 for one was worth it

Cant wait to fond out if its another girl!! I hope soo!!

There is a horizon I think at AUT on akoranga drive I *think* that does 4d but insight do them too..

If you think you are going to have more than 3 scans might be worth paying for the package.....

I cant believe how expensive the growth scans are now!! Trying to encourage people to take the package obviously!

I think they are worth the money, we are skint but will still be going there over other radiologys.]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:29:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923104&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923104 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923085&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923085 Author: blondy

I went to Auckland Xray services for anatomy/4D scan (terrible experience, so wouldn't go back), but from memory was only about $40 for a CD of heaps of photos, plus a DVD of the 3D/4D imaging. All my other scans (pre-NT, NT and scan at 41 weeks) were done through Horizon radiology and all free of charge. The anatomy one would have been free there too I believe (I think if you want a CD etc you have to pay more). Horizon were totally fab.

Thread hijacking maybe a little, but in Wellington we paid $40 for our dating scan and got a picture and disc with it, for the anatomy scan I was booked in at the hospital so it was free. In Auckland is it not possible to go through the hospital for the anatomy scan?
For my next growth scan it will also be at hospital and therefore free.
Is it choice to go to an independent radiologist and have to pay?]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:02:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923070&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923070 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=923062&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#923062 Author: Bobbie

How did you have to pay so much!

I just phoned them and they said $95 for growth and $95 for anatomy.

I think I might just go to a place that charges $50 since I will already be getting a foetal echo at starship,

You will need a referal... but they are AWESOME!

This is based on prices 08/09....

Pre NT scan free unless vaginal (I actually got a disc and a couple of pics for free too.. might have been cos DH wasnt there and poss mc)

NT$95 including pics and disc (follow up if needed free but if another disc wanted $30)

Anataomy $95 including pics and disc (follow up if needed free but disc $30)

Growth scans $35 (extra for discs but i got free prints and he tried really hard to get me some good 4D ones everytime but Jake would hide!).

Given that it was 9-15months ago they have probably gone up a little... the $250 would have been great considering I ended up having so many scans.... We spent about $300 with them....

They are all so lovely.. Richard can be a little off putting but he is considered one of the best in the country....

We go there and they are great! I am very overweight and they've never had an issue getting some measurements like another place I went to did.

They have a package deal now which is something like $250 for all the scans you need during your pregnancy. Really worthwhile if you need more growth scans, etc but because you're already past your NT scan it may not be worth it for you.

I think you need a referral but not 100% sure there and you get given pictures of the scans and a dvd of it (not for a dating scan). They do 3D scans as well so you usually get a 3D pic and vid of bub also.]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:35:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=922232&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#922232 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31339&PID=922194&title=insight-radiology-takapuna#922194 Author: Mama2two
