Consultant radiologist-led

Diagnostics & Imaging

Our ultrasound service is led by Dr Christopher Rodriguez, a consultant radiologist with specialist interests in abdominal and paediatric imaging. As the scan is performed and reported by the consultant radiologist, findings can usually be discussed with you at the appointment, with a formal report to follow.
