Driving from Southern Ontario to Williamsville for a 3D Ultrasound
If you live in Niagara Falls, Ontario, or elsewhere in Southern Ontario, Perfect Preview 3D at 6011 Main Street, Suite 101, in Williamsville, NY is a convenient option for an elective 3D/4D ultrasound just across the border. We’re open daily from 8 AM to 9 PM, offer same-day appointments, and schedule only one family at a time. Before you go, you must already be receiving prenatal care and have had a medical diagnostic ultrasound, and you should check current border requirements on official government sources.
We’ve been welcoming families since 2011, and many of them make the trip from across Western New York and Southern Ontario. This guide covers what to know so your visit feels easy and fun from the moment you leave home.
Where is Perfect Preview 3D, and who visits?
The studio is at 6011 Main Street, Suite 101, Williamsville, NY 14221. Williamsville sits just outside Buffalo, so it’s easy to reach from the Niagara region and the Buffalo suburbs.
Families come to us from Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Amherst, Tonawanda, Cheektowaga, West Seneca, Orchard Park, Hamburg, Batavia, Rochester and beyond, plus Southern Ontario. Whether you’re coming a few minutes down Main Street or crossing the border for the day, you’ll get the same private, relaxed session.
What should Canadian families check before crossing the border?
Border requirements can change, so we don’t give advice on documents or entry rules. Please check the official U.S. and Canadian government border websites before you travel, both for entering the U.S. and for returning home to Canada.
Leave extra time for the crossing
Border wait times vary by day and time. Building a cushion into your plans means you won’t feel rushed if the line is longer than expected. If you’re running behind, give us a call at (716) 632-2229.
Talk to your provider about travel
Most people can travel comfortably by car during pregnancy, but your provider knows your situation best. If you have questions about traveling, ask them before your trip.
Payment and pricing
We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, debit and HSA cards. Our package prices are listed plus tax. If you’re using a Canadian card, check with your bank or card issuer about whether it works in the U.S. and whether foreign transaction fees apply. Insurance doesn’t cover elective ultrasounds.
Can I get a same-day 3D ultrasound appointment in Williamsville?
Yes. Appointments are required for every service, but same-day appointments are available. That flexibility helps a lot when you’re coordinating a cross-border drive, a partner’s work schedule, or grandparents who want to come along.
The easiest way to check same-day availability is to call us at (716) 632-2229.
Is there an ultrasound studio open evenings near Buffalo?
We’re open daily from 8 AM to 9 PM, including evenings and weekends. Many families from Ontario like an evening slot so they can drive over after work or school, or turn the visit into an afternoon out followed by their session.
Who can book an elective ultrasound?
To book with us, you must already be receiving prenatal care and have had a medical diagnostic ultrasound. That applies to every family, no matter where you’re traveling from.
Our sessions are elective and non-diagnostic. They’re about bonding, keepsakes and sharing the moment with the people you love. They complement, but never replace, the scans and care your own provider orders. If you have questions about your health or your baby’s development, your provider is the right person to ask.
Which package makes the most sense for a trip?
Here’s a quick look at our packages. You can see full details, add-ons and payment info on our packages and pricing page.

If you’re coming for gender
Our Early Gender Determination session is available from 13 weeks, with accuracy guaranteed. If you’re curious about how early is too early, our early gender ultrasound FAQ walks through it. We can also seal the result in an envelope so you can save the big moment for your reveal back home.
If you want to see baby’s face
The 3D/4D/HD Live Peek Preview is designed for 24 weeks and later, with a 20-minute scan using our HyperREAL 8K imaging. It’s the session most families picture when they think of a 3D ultrasound.
If you’re planning multiple trips
Watch Me Grow includes three visits spread across pregnancy. It’s a lovely way to follow along, but for families traveling a longer distance, it’s worth thinking about whether three separate trips fit your schedule before booking.
How should I prepare for the drive and the visit?
- Hydrate for 3 to 5 days beforehand. Drinking plenty of water helps image quality. A full bladder is not required.
- Plan your guest list. Our studio comfortably fits 8 to 10 guests, and there are no age restrictions for children, so big siblings are welcome.
- Decide on extras ahead of time. Add-ons include an 8K Enhancement Photo ($24.95 plus tax), a Heartbeat Animal ($39.95 plus tax), a heartbeat recorder with baby’s heartbeat ($19.99 plus tax) and additional 4×6 photos ($5.00 plus tax each).
- Think about your reveal. If you’d like the gender sealed in an envelope, let us know so it stays a surprise until you’re ready.
- Build in comfort stops. Snacks, water and a bathroom break before the border can make the ride more pleasant.
Every package also includes formula coupons and samples, so you’ll head home with a few goodies along with your photos and video.
