  5. The patient’s contact phone numbers.

If mammography:

  • When was the last mammogram done and where?
  • Is there a concern or is it routine?
  • If it is a follow up, is it a 3, 6 or 12-month follow up?

If ultrasound:

  • Obstetrical:

We will then give the physician's office the appointment date, time and the location where the appointment is booked.      

We ask that physician's offices fax the completed requisition to 306-522-4311.

Please remember to provide the patient with any preparation instructions required for the exam. Patient preparation information can be found on this website under 'Services'.
