Horizon Radiology

Congrats Kaylee

I went there for my first scan about 7 weeks - there was not much to look for but i found them not the best.. rushed thru it.... they were 1 hour late too

The guy that did it was not the best, i can say that now cause had a few more scans.

Maybe it was cause there was not much to see..

Also might have something to do with them being free as well.. I have only had 3 scans and one to come and they are only $25 so not to bad

I have been to the one in Henderson

first scan was fine that was at about 5 - 6 weeks to find out dates, due to irregular cycle. Not much to see but the lady was very nice.

2nd scan at 12 weeks was okay, but had a trainee so then had someone come and check everything afterwards. Had to wait awhile.

3rd scan at 20 weeks again had to wait ages and then the lady was kind of rude when we ask if she could see the gender, she hardly looked and then said "could be a girl....could be a boy" and I thought, well I knew that!

I had to have a lot of scans late in pregnancy due to GD and they were much better but still had a few trainees who had to get someone else to check things.

I went to the Henderson one for Jack's scans (20wk and 30-something weeks) and Ben's scans (12wk, 20wk) and had no problems at all, they were all lovely, polite and friendly

I have been to botany, Manukau and Sylvia park, and all of them have been great, they talked me through the scans, pointed out all the bits they looked at, and even printed off some nice pictures for me to show off. They can also record the scan on video for free, or DVD for an extra cost (I *think* it was about $20)

You can only get scans done there with a referral form from GP or midwife, so you'll need to sort out a midwife first, and they dont generally do early scans (pre-12w) unless theres a history of miscarriage, or if theres discrepancies with your due date


Mine were all free except the 12w one which i paid $25-30 for, and I also chose to do a 4D scan at 26w through Auckland Xray services I think its called, on Dominion Rd in Mt Eden. cost $50 and was defintely worth it! (no referral needed for that one either)

Yes please come and join us! We need more girls to chat with!

Ditto what Jazzy said! And also great to see that you obviously didn't need to use Fertility Plus like you were asking about last week in the Infertility thread. Are you asking about scans because you are going for an early one?

I went there for all my scans , it was fine ,no complaints :-)

Congrats!!!

We used botany no worries - guy there was the one who discovered my bicornuate (so I blame him for costing me $4000! LOL) and also confirmed gender for DH once and for all! LOL!

They were fine and would get me in short notice if need be (I was working fulltime and under pressure for work times etc) - and they are free unless you want the dvd etc...

We used henderson for both

All scan for dd were great

For ds 6 week scan had the grumpy lady who doesn't day boo.

12 week scan had the same lady

20 week scan had the AWESOME GUY who did dd 20 week scan. He actually talked to me !

Ours were all free too

We used Henderson for all of our scans

First at 12 weeks was a really lovely guy, he was fantastic and spent a long time 'looking around' and explaining everything to us.

Around 16-17 weeks we had one, she was lovely and very helpful.

20 week was ok - the lady wasn't too friendly, more business like which was fine.. she did manage to tell us the sex without an issue

Had another at around 28 weeks and she was ok, different lady again.

The receptionists were are SO helpful though, the 16wk and 28wk ones were kind of urgent and they did everything they could to fit me in, even calling me when someone had cancelled to see if the time suited.   All the scans were free too
