Most clinics operate Monday to Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. The Springfield Diagnostics clinic also opens Saturdays 8:00 am - 1:00 pm. The Springfield Radiography service is open 7 days, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.

We offer a comprehensive range of cardiac investigations, including echocardiograms, agitated saline bubble echocardiograms, exercise stress echocardiography, exercise stress tests, Holter monitors, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and electrocardiograms (ECGs).

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart that allows our clinicians to assess the structure and function of your heart. This includes the chambers, valves, and pumping ability and is performed without any radiation or invasive procedures.

A Holter monitor is a small, wearable device that continuously records your heart's electrical activity over 24 hours or longer. It's used to detect irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not show up during a standard ECG.

Yes. We provide lung function tests (spirometry) to assess how well your lungs are working. This is commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma, COPD, and other respiratory diseases.

We offer home-based sleep study tests, which allow you to complete your sleep investigation in the comfort of your own home. We also offer a CPAP Trial Program for sleep study and peri-operative patients.

Our radiography services include X-rays, CT scans (Computed Tomography), and CT Coronary Angiograms (CTCA). Bulk-billed CT and X-ray services are available at our Springfield location, open 7 days.
