I went to a spinal surgeon almost 2 months ago. I couldn't get x-rays of my spine done at that time. No one is helping me here to find the right place to have them done. I NEED my back fixed soon. They are taking too long. Any websites I can look up?

I know to have the doctor tell me where, but they are having problems finding the right place theirselves.

If the hospital can't help you (either because of a waiting line or lack of insurance), try a Chiropractor. I've been to a few different Chiropractors, and they all have X-Ray machines. However, most of them have a much lower cost on their X-Rays than hospitals have, so if it's an issue of cost, they'll likely be cheaper... if it's a matter of waiting time, most of them can see you within a week or so for something that simple.
Call around and ask questions based on your situation (which you didn't mention, so we can't say). Good luck!

You have to have an order from a doctor to have x-rays. It's like a prescription - just like you can't walk into a pharmacy and ask for drugs, you can't walk into a radiology department and ask for x-rays without the order from your doctor. Your doctor's office can tell you where to have them done.
