Why Choose Us?

Genuine qualifications

We are passionate about providing a wonderful experience for you and your family, but the health and well-being of your baby will always be fundamental to our care. Unfortunately, the private ultrasound sector is unregulated, and many practitioners claim to be sonographers without formal qualifications. That’s why we guarantee that you will only ever be scanned by a medical professional with proven ultrasound qualifications and extensive NHS diagnostic experience. 

City centre location

We are located in the heart of Colchester city centre, with excellent transport links and a multitude of multistorey car parks close by. Our location offers the added benefit of having an abundance of local shops and restaurants in close proximity, ensuring that attending your scan appointment can be combined with a day out for all the family to enjoy. 

Safe hands

We want you to have confidence in our abilities. Our founder and lead sonographer is:

Qualified in medical ultrasound, obstetrics and gynaecology
Qualified in midwifery
Experienced in NHS diagnostic ultrasound (10+ years)
Registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)
Fetal Medicine Foundation accredited
A member of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ISUOG)
Regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC)
Committed to continued professional development

Excellent links to the local hospital

Our sonographers continue to work at the local NHS trust, which is why we have genuine links with the maternity and ultrasound services, with robust referral pathways in place. Although all our scans are non-diagnostic, on the rare occurrence that your scan identifies any issues, we will ensure that (with your consent) you will be referred to the most appropriate practitioner directly. This may be your midwife, GP, antenatal consultant, maternity triage, early pregnancy unit, A&E or the local fetal medicine department. 

Longer appointment times

All our standard appointments are a minimum of 20 minutes long*. This ensures that you are not rushed and have at least 20 dedicated minutes with our highly experienced midwife sonographer, who will talk you through the scan and answer any questions.
*Please note that the standard 20-minute appointment time excludes our 2D Tuesday and 4D Friday special offers. These appointments are 15 minutes long. 

Top of the range ultrasound technology

Image quality is just as important to us as it is for you. We have invested a significant amount into state-of-the-art scanning facilities so we can offer you a remarkable insight into the world of your little one at every stage of your pregnancy.

Affordable packages

We offer simple and affordable ultrasound packages for all to enjoy, with fetal well-being checks as standard. Though we recommend booking our scans in advance, we also welcome and accept walk in appointments.

No extra cost for twins

We love scanning twins and recognise that having two children at the same time usually comes with double the cost! This is why we will never charge you extra for growing two babies, or three, or four. If you already know that you are pregnant with twins, please inform us at the time of your booking. This is to ensure that we can allocate you extra time during your appointment.
