Auckland X Ray Services

Hi Roksana

We had a great experience at Ascot. We didn't end up with any 4D pics cause Oliver wasn't fat enough lol - and that was at 20 weeks. But they tried and then didn't charge us when they couldn't get a good pic. But the normal scan was really good, and we got a CD and a DVD. The lady who did our scan was brilliant!

I have, they were fantastic. We were only 7 weeks so no 4D, but when I was there they had a sign saying 4D was free with 3D... I never even asked when i booked how much the 3D scan was so I dont know. Kindly they did not charge us as it was bad news.

That rates them even higher for me. Both radiologists who saw me were fantastic,,, highly recommend them.

ETA to say that my scan was a month ago...

I went to Insight Takapuna with my first baby - they were good but quick.

I used Ascot for my very early scan this time - apart from keeping me waiting an extra 45minutes with a full bladder they were nice and friendly. I saw their 4D samples and they looked great. I also overheard them talking to another lady and because they couldn't get good shots they offered to either a) not charge her or b) book another time that day or the next to redo the scan. So I thought the service was pretty good overall - just perhaps a bit pricey.

I have used Auckland Radiology in Ponsonby for my 12wk and 20wk scan ($25 a time). The lady (Wendy) is friendly and efficient. The receptionists are lovely. I was not so happy with the quality of the 20wk scan and was considering going back there for he 3D but may change my mind closer to the time.

If I think back to all the ones I've used and rate them evenly - I have liked Ascot the most .. just found them to be pricey.

I had both my scans with Auckland Radiology one on Manukau Road and one in Papatoetoe, both ladies were lovely, very informative, told us exactly what we were looking at each time and we paid $25. We got x-ray scans to take home (which is what I was expecting because I asked when I made the appointment) and a real time DVD as well.

So my experience was good, and I'd definitely recommend ARG.

I had most of my scans with the gremlins at ARG Avondale, and had my most recent one with this bub at ARG Royal Oak and they have always been pretty good. Avondale has 2 rooms and one has much better equipment than the other, but I've never had a prob with the quality of the images (except for when bubs isn't co-operating!)
