Why we built Initio.
Illness does not discriminate. A cancer diagnosis, a complex disease, a scan that doesn’t come back when it should — these are journeys no family plans for, and every family eventually faces one.
Rapid access. Comprehensive tracers. One roof.
We built Initio to be the care we’d want for our own — not as an alternative to Canada’s public system, but as a partner to it, extending its reach with faster access to advanced diagnostics and treatment.
The difference between a good outcome and a great one is often measured in weeks, in clarity, and in how someone is treated on the days they feel most vulnerable. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

As initio, which offers quick access to diagnosis and treatment with more than 20 years of experience, we are ready to answer all your questions.
How do I book an appointment at Initio?
You can book directly with us. Call +1 (604) 678-9274, email info@initiomedical.ca, or use the contact form on this page. Our team confirms your appointment, tells you whether a requisition is needed, and sends written preparation instructions before your visit.
Do I need a physician referral?
For most diagnostic imaging you do not need a referral to book with us. Some scans and all therapies require a requisition from your physician. If yours does, we will tell you when you book and send the correct form for your doctor to complete.
What does a scan cost?
Our prices are published up front, with no hidden fees. The cost depends on the scan or therapy. You can see the current fee for every service on our Booking & Costs page, and our team will confirm the total before you attend.
Do you accept insurance?
Initio is a private clinic, so services are paid directly. Many extended health plans, employer benefit programs, and international insurers reimburse diagnostic imaging. We provide the itemised documentation you need to submit a claim.
Do you see patients from the United States and abroad?
Yes. We regularly care for patients travelling from the United States and internationally, with coordinated scheduling, assistance with travel and accommodation, and reports prepared for your physician at home.
How does Initio work alongside the public system?
We are a partner to Canada’s public system, not a replacement for it. Our clinicians also practise at leading public hospitals. Patients come to us for faster access, and results are sent directly to your referring physician so your care continues without interruption.
What services do you offer?
PET/CT and SPECT/CT molecular imaging, targeted radioligand therapy, MRI and CT, mammography, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), bone density (DEXA), and executive and preventive health assessments — all delivered under one roof.
