Established in 1992, Xray Xpress was the first radiographer led diagnostic imaging centre in Harley Street. It was founded with the concept of providing a fast, efficient and professional x-ray and ultrasound service for both the medical profession and the public.
This is a commitment readily demonstrated through our 'walk-in' x-ray service and same day appointments for ultrasound scans, in our maintenance of minimal waiting times, and in our 24 hour turn around for films and reports.
Run by the small, highly experienced team of radiographers Beena Heyer and Helen Wilson (who have over 50 year's radiography experience between them), Xray Xpress is now a leading London diagnostic imaging centre.
Our express service combined with our Harley Street location is particularly convenient for the numerous consultants who practice nearby who find they can send a patient away for an x-ray and have them return within 15 minutes.
Our continuing insistence on medical excellence means we have a team of five top Consultant Radiologists to report on films and scans. It has also meant the recent investment in a state of the art bone densitometer machine allowing us to offer a DEXA scan for osteoporosis screening. In addition, we also offer an orthopantomogram (OPG) x-ray machine for dental work.
