As more Cantabrians seek high-quality, affordable medical imaging, one local provider stands out for its commitment to service, accessibility, and patient care.
“Trust in healthcare is built through expertise, consistency, and a genuine commitment to people. At Beyond Radiology, that commitment has seen increasing numbers of patients travel from throughout Canterbury to the Merivale clinic for their imaging needs,” says practice manager Serena Hitchings. What started as a single clinic just four years ago is now one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing radiology providers. By 2026, Beyond Radiology will have expanded to six clinics nationwide, while remaining proudly New Zealand-owned and clinician-led.
That growth has been built on delivering an exceptional patient experience at every stage of the journey. “While healthcare costs continue to rise, Beyond Radiology has remained focused on keeping essential imaging accessible,” Serena explains.
ACC surcharges remain just $20 for X-ray and $40 for ultrasound, providing patients with affordable access to high-quality diagnostic imaging and helping remove barriers to timely care.
Convenience is another reason patients choose Beyond Radiology. The clinic’s online X-ray booking system allows patients to quickly and easily find an appointment time that fits around their schedule, making the process simple from the very beginning.
high-quality medical imaging.
Seamless systems
“From the moment patients walk through the door, they are welcomed by a warm and friendly front-of-house team dedicated to ensuring every visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.” Their highly skilled medical imaging technologists and sonographers guide patients through every step of their examination, taking the time to explain procedures, answer questions, and alleviate concerns.
Once imaging has been completed, a team of highly skilled and vastly experienced radiologists carefully interpret the images and produce the reports, that provide the clarity and confidence patients and referrers need.
“As a clinician-led organisation, we understand that excellence is about more than advanced equipment. It is about combining expertise, compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care to deliver the highest standard of service for every patient,” Serena says.
“As the company continues to grow across New Zealand, its focus remains unchanged: providing accessible, affordable imaging while delivering a quality patient experience built on trust, expertise, and integrity.”
