The Comox Valley MRI is now open at 1211 Ryan Road in Courtenay B.C., providing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services to patients from North Central Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. It is the first privately run MRI clinic on the Island and offers physicians and their patients a quick local alternative to long trips to Nanaimo, Victoria, or Vancouver. Minimal waiting times and a caring professional staff are just two of the many benefits we provide.

At the present time the MRI Clinic services patients referred from WCB, ICBC, Blue Cross, and other private insurers, who previously had to travel to the South Island or Vancouver. Comox Valley MRI can also take referrals from local doctors with patients who prefer not to wait and are prepared to pay for their own scans. The machine is one of only six private MRI scanners operating in BC and allows local residents the advantage of having one right here in the Comox Valley.
