Hillsborough Radiology is committed to ensuring the safety and health of our employees, patients and visitors.

We continue to assess the situation and will provide updates on a regular basis.

Hours of Operation

Please contact Hillsborough Radiology at 908/874-7600 for current hours of operation.

Patient Information for Appointments:

We understand you may have concerns and we want to let you know what to expect at your appointment, much of which is recommended by the American College of Radiology.

Wait in Your Car, a Safer Way to Check-In
On the date of your exam, you will receive a text message 90 minutes prior to your exam with a check in link. When you get to the parking lot of the office, please stay in your car, click on the check in link, answer a few questions and you will be checked in. You will be contacted when your technologist is ready to start your exam.

Upon Entering our Facility
At that time, you will come to the office, have your temperature taken and be asked verbal screening questions. Once you pass the screening, you will be taken for your exam.

• You should arrive to the office with a face mask. All employees will be wearing personal protective equipment as well.
• Practice social distancing where possible of six feet apart.
• We have installed sneeze guards at all our front desks for your safety.

A Clean, Safe Environment
All exam rooms will be cleaned before and after your appointment. We have doubled the exam time to ensure that our staff has adequate time to clean the room and all equipment prior to each appointment.

As a licensed healthcare provider, we strictly adhere to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, the American College of Radiology, the New Jersey Department of Health and other agencies in our quest to maintain a safe and patient sensitive environment. We have well-established cleaning protocols already in place, including a professional cleaning company for after business hours, as well as dedicated cleaning personnel during the day in all locations.

Before and After Your Appointment Practice Hand Hygiene
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol which is conveniently located at our facility.
