Radtech Imaging Services advises owners, physician groups and investors on the sale, acquisition, build-out and operation of licensed diagnostic imaging facilities across Ontario — from a paper licence to first patient.
Most advisors know either the business or the clinic floor. We've spent twenty years on both — buying, selling, building and running imaging facilities in Ontario's independent sector.
Buy-side and sell-side advisory for licensed imaging facilities: valuation, due diligence, deal negotiation, ICHSC licence transfer and Ministry of Health approvals. We know what a clinic is actually worth — and what inspectors will find before your buyer does.
Turnkey development from licence to first patient: site selection, leasehold build-out, HARP-compliant room design, staffing, workflows and accreditation readiness. We've built clinics from bare paper and expanded operating ones without losing a day of referrals.
Needs assessment, vendor negotiation and capital purchasing for X-ray, general and vascular ultrasound, bone densitometry (BMD), mammography and RIS/PACS — through installation, acceptance testing and go-live.
Radiation safety and QA programs under HARP and Safety Code 35, policy manuals, accreditation preparation, and navigation of the ICHSC framework, Ministry of Health and CPSO requirements.
Stabilizing underperforming clinics, staffing and recruitment of technologists and sonographers, referral development, and interim management. Our recommendations come from running two clinics of our own — not from a binder.
A clinic build or acquisition follows a real sequence. Here's how we run it.
Licence review, market and referral analysis, valuation or feasibility.
Deal terms or build plan, budget, Ministry and ICHSC pathway mapped.
Leasehold construction, equipment purchase and installation, HARP room compliance.
Recruitment, credentialing, QA program, policies, accreditation readiness.
Go-live, referral development, and steady-state operations or handover.
Omar Hamid is the principal of Radtech Imaging Services and Managing Director of B.D. Diagnostic Imaging, which owns and operates North Scarborough X-Ray & Ultrasound and Lawrence-Kingston X-Ray & Ultrasound in Toronto.
Over twenty years in Ontario's independent imaging sector, he has advised on more than twenty clinic purchase and sale transactions, built two facilities from a paper licence into fully staffed multi-modality clinics, and renovated and expanded three more.
He remains a registered Medical Radiation Technologist (CMRITO) who still works hospital shifts — so every recommendation is grounded in what actually happens on the clinic floor, not theory.
