Quick answer
AVA Médica has X-rays at the same clinic where you see the doctor, in Piedras Negras. X-rays help check injuries, possible fractures, bone and joint problems, and other conditions the doctor needs to see. That way you handle the visit and the study in one trip. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm availability and cost.
What an X-ray is for
- Checking falls and injuries, and ruling out or confirming a fracture.
- Looking at bone and joint problems when pain won't go away.
- Other conditions the doctor needs to check with an image.
Is it safe?
An X-ray uses a low dose of radiation for a very short time. Tell the doctor before the study if you are or might be pregnant: in that case they'll consider whether another test is better.
Doctor visit and X-ray in the same trip
After an injury, the most practical step is a walk-in visit: the doctor examines you and, if an X-ray is needed, you get it right there and leave with clear guidance.
If you're coming from Texas
If you're coming from Eagle Pass, Del Rio, or South Texas, message us before you cross: we'll give you the exact cost and guide you on the Medical Lane at International Bridge #1, which cuts the trip back to the U.S. to about 15 to 20 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a doctor's order for an X-ray?
Usually the doctor orders it during your visit, which needs no appointment. If you already have an order, send us a photo on WhatsApp.
Can I get an X-ray if I'm pregnant?
Tell the doctor before the study. They'll decide whether it's necessary or whether another test, like an ultrasound with no radiation, is better.
How much does an X-ray cost?
It depends on the area being checked. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll give you the exact cost.
