Streamlined Immigration Services with AOMS

At AOMS, we prioritize your convenience by offering comprehensive immigration services under one roof. Unlike other medical immigration clinics, we conduct in-house blood tests as part of our inclusive pricing, eliminating the need for additional appointments and allowing you to simplify your immigration journey.

CHEST X-RAY

While chest X-rays are facilitated through Nova Scotia Health, requiring a separate appointment, we’ve streamlined the process for your ease. If you’re traveling to town for your appointment, maximize efficiency by scheduling both your chest X-ray and AOMS visit on the same day.

After your X-ray has been booked call our office (902)469-2667 to book your Medical. We will make every effort to you schedule you in on the morning of your X-ray. This will help you so you don’t have to make multiple trips into the city. Note this cannot be guaranteed. Please make sure to leave your return phone number when leaving messages. Book your separate chest X-ray online at www.Bookings.NSHealth.ca preferably on Wednesday or Thursday afternoon. 

 

Remember to pay for your X-ray at the hospital in advance. So arrive 15 minutes early and pay for your X-ray before going to the radiology department.

Choose one of the following locations for your X-ray appointment:

  • Dartmouth General: 325 Pleasant St, Dartmouth, Monday to Thursday, 8 am to 2 pm (by appointment only). Payment for the X-Ray is made at the Dartmouth General Business office inside the hospital.
  • Victoria General Hospital: 1276 South Park Street, Halifax, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm (by appointment only). Payment for the X-Ray is separate from medical costs and is handled at the Victoria Hospital,
