X-Rays

An x-ray takes a black and white picture of the inside of your body. These images can detect broken bones, tumors, and more. At Bayside Urgent Care Center, we use x-rays to help us identify and diagnose many conditions. If you suspect a fracture (broken bone) or other non-life-threatening health problem, our medical team is ready to help. We are located in Clearwater, Florida, and we’re always accepting new patients. No appointments are necessary.

Finally, bring your primary care doctor’s phone number and address so we can transfer records, if necessary.
