At Toms River X-Ray, providing safe, high quality care is our #1 priority. In response to the growing concern over the spread of coronavirus, we want to assure you that our facilities will remain open and will be taking extra precautions to safeguard against the spread of this disease. We are working in close coordination with CDC guidelines, to ensure we have a consistent path to care during this time.

We ask that you alert us immediately if you have been tested positive for COVID-19 so we can effectively triage your care.
