What can you do to reduce your Ontario diagnostic imaging wait time?
/Waiting for your diagnostic imaging appointment can be stressful. Here are a few options for reducing your wait time.
Talk to your family doctor about how you may be able to reduce your wait time. You can:
tell your doctor you’re willing to go for an appointment in the evening, night or weekend – those appointments may be available sooner
tell your doctor you’re willing to travel to a hospital or imaging centre with a shorter wait time
see if there is a cancellation list you could be added to, if you can be available on short notice when last-minute openings become available
make sure you follow any instructions about what to do before your appointment ( e.g. limiting what you eat or drink for a period of time) so you don’t risk having to reschedule
