Pregnancy Scan

At Insight Medical Ultrasound our aim is to capture those special once in a lifetime moments of your baby in its own environment and to help reassure you.  We have the time to spend with you and your partner or family and friends, nothing is too much for us, we understand your excitement. Nothing gives us more pleasure than to share this exciting and precious moment with you, and to see the look on your face when you see your little ones features and expressions, whether they are yawning, smiling, having a look around or just looking content asleep.  We pride ourselves on bringing you all this using a top of the range ultrasound machine, the Voluson 730 expert by GE who are the leaders in 3D/4D ultrasound technology.  You will even be amazed at the quality of the 2D black and white images it produces.

We don’t offer set packages, so that you are not paying for something that you don’t really want, but you have to have it because it is part of that package.  We give you the freedom to choose the things you specifically want to take away with you as a lasting keepsake.

Our sonographers are carefully selected to perform our scans. They are sonographers who are dedicated to their work and enjoy their work.  They are committed to ensuring that you have an enjoyable experience with us and take home a souvenir, whether it is a printed photo, a CD-ROM or a DVD.
