Please arrive 30 minutes early for your exam
This allows time for check-in, registration, and any necessary preparation. Arriving early helps ensure your appointment begins on time and supports a smooth experience for all patients. Arriving late increases your chances of us cancelling or rescheduling your exam for another day.

- Medication patches
- Insulin pumps and glucose monitors
- Hearing aids

- Sweat-wicking clothing and copper/silver socks

- If you suffer from claustrophobia, talk to your doctor about obtaining a mild sedative before coming to your exam- if you do use a sedative, ensure you have a driver present for your exam.
