About Us
Dragon Ultrasound provides a first-class, affordable ultrasound scanning service to the people of South Wales and to all who require our help. For all scans, we accept self-referrals, however, we also regularly receive referrals/recommendations from GP practices and many private healthcare clinics in the region. Our Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging Centre is based in Llantrisant at Edwards Business Park (near Pontyclun and Talbot Green). Just 5 minutes from M4 J34, it is easily accessible for people in Rhondda Cynon Taff, but also for those living in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and further afield.
All Sonographers at Dragon Ultrasound are highly trained, HCPC-registered members of the Society of Radiographers and use the latest high specification equipment, to ensure you receive a first-class examination. Your results will be explained to you and you will get to take away a copy of the report. If required, your report can be sent to your NHS and/or private health-care provider, at no extra cost.
Appointments can be made anytime via our website or by telephone during clinic opening hours. For queries outside of our normal hours, please email us using our website and we will respond as soon as possible.
Free on-site parking.
