Medical tests

Often a number of medical tests, such as x-rays, blood tests and other lab tests, must be performed to determine your exact problem. Our emergency healthcare team waits for the results before the doctor can make an accurate diagnosis. Sometimes the process can take several hours, but Saint Joseph’s advanced radiology services have enabled us to cut the time significantly.

Filmless, digital x-ray equipment, the latest technological breakthrough, lets us look at x-ray images immediately on a TV screen. Since there’s no waiting for film to be processed, your emergency doctor can review your condition and make appropriate treatment decisions right away. No matter how long or how short your wait, you will be kept comfortable in the Emergency Department. Please ask us for assistance if you feel you’ve been kept waiting too long.
