Was an amazing clinic, very clean and staff were all lovely. They made the experience very relaxed and simple and gave me all the information I needed. I was updated with my results within less than an hour as they were quite serious and recieved my report and images. Would highly recommend Vitalscan to anyone.

I had an Ultrascan at the center and I'd have to say it was one of my best experiences. I was blown away by the service offered from booking the services via a telephone call followed with a well detailed email with descriptions of the center as well as what to expect from the service i had booked. The center itself is very modern with State of the art technology, CLEAN and relaxed atmosphere. I must commend all of the staff on site as they were all BRILLIANT as well as happy to answer all of my questions but most importantly put my mind at ease. From start to finish I had an excellent experience and i'd not hesitate in recommending Vitalscan.

I have just got home after my ultrasound at Vitalscan. All I can say is WOW. What an amazing place! First of all, everywhere was beautifully clean and fresh and it felt very calm. There was an area where you could get a drink - hot or cold - and it felt extremely professional. I was seen by Dr Khalid Enver today who was absolutely brilliant. I was extremely nervous and emotional about the ultrasound but he put me at ease straight away and was kind and calm the whole way through. He gave me my results verbally straight away and was able to answer all of my questions. Jayme (sorry if I've spelt this wrong!) was there to assist Dr Enver and she was wonderful - so kind and reassuring and just the sort of person you want to be around when you're feeling nervous! Thankyou SO much to the team at Vitalscan, I cannot recommend this place enough and it was worth every penny!
