S.K. Diagnostic Centre, Srinagar Dr. Khalida Salim · Wazir Bagh
If you are looking for a female radiologist in Srinagar, S.K. Diagnostic Centre in Wazir Bagh may be one of the centres you are considering. Its location opposite L.D. Hospital makes it recognisable to patients visiting this part of the city.
But choosing an ultrasound centre involves more than finding a doctor's name or a nearby address. You may want to know who will actually perform your scan, whether the radiologist you came to see is available, how easy the premises are to reach, and what facilities you can expect when you arrive.
This page brings together the available public information, photographs from a visit to the premises, and practical questions worth asking before setting out. Where online details are inconsistent or a matter could not be independently verified, that is stated clearly.
S.K. Diagnostic Centre: Essential Details
Use these details to identify the centre and plan your visit. Please confirm time-sensitive information before travelling, particularly if you are coming from outside Srinagar.
👩⚕️ Radiologist
Dr. Khalida Salim is publicly listed as a radiologist associated with S.K. Diagnostic Centre.
🩻 Main Service to Enquire About
Ultrasound (USG). Confirm the exact examination you require and whether it is offered on your intended visit date.
🕙 Visiting Hours
The available online listings are inconsistent. Information supplied from a visit indicates that activity begins around 10:00 AM. Call or verify locally before travelling; this is not a confirmed official schedule.
☎ Publicly Listed Telephone
01942310092 appears in an online directory. We have not independently confirmed whether the number is currently active or answered by the centre.
♿ Access
The photographs supplied for this guide show a staircase leading to the clinic area. Lift access was not apparent in the photographs; patients with mobility needs should confirm access arrangements directly.
Information note: Public listings can be outdated or incomplete. The details above should not be treated as confirmation of current services, contact information or operating hours.
Finding the Entrance and Clinic
The photographs below show the entrance, approach, staircase and waiting area as captured during the visit. They are included to help patients understand the physical setting before deciding how to travel.
These are visit photographs, not a formal building inspection or an assessment of clinical performance. They show the premises at one point in time.
Who Is Dr. Khalida Salim?
Dr. Khalida Salim is the radiologist publicly associated with S.K. Diagnostic Centre in Wazir Bagh, Srinagar. Her name appears on the centre's signboard and in online doctor directories.
👩⚕️ A Female Radiologist
For many women, the gender of the doctor performing an ultrasound is an important part of choosing where to go. This can be particularly relevant during pregnancy scans and pelvic or other sensitive examinations.
A female radiologist may help some patients feel more comfortable discussing their concerns and undergoing an examination. Individual preferences differ, so patients should be able to ask who will perform their scan before registering.
🎓 Qualifications and Experience
The displayed signboard identifies Dr. Khalida Salim as MBBS, M.D., with PGI Chandigarh, MRCR (U.K.) and MIIUM (USA) also printed on it.
These are transcribed from the signboard, not independently verified credentials. Patients who need to establish her exact postgraduate qualification, professional registration or current clinical role should confirm those details with the centre or the relevant professional registration authority.
Her association with radiology is supported by public directory listings. However, the information reviewed for this page does not establish a verified number of years of experience. We therefore do not publish an unconfirmed experience figure.
🩺 Why the Reporting Doctor Matters
Ultrasound is not simply a matter of producing images. The examination must be appropriate to the clinical question, and the findings must be interpreted and documented correctly.
Patients should know which qualified practitioner performs the examination and who interprets and signs the report. If you are specifically visiting to consult Dr. Khalida Salim, ask whether she will personally perform and interpret your particular scan on that day.
A useful question to ask before visiting
“I want my ultrasound to be performed and interpreted by Dr. Khalida Salim herself. Will she be available for my examination, and whose name will appear on the report?”
There is nothing unreasonable about asking this. Patients travelling a long distance deserve clear information about the service they are booking.
Does Choosing a Female Radiologist Make a Difference?
For some women, yes. Having a female doctor conduct an intimate or pregnancy-related examination can make the experience feel more comfortable. However, the doctor's gender is only one part of a satisfactory ultrasound visit.
🔒 Personal privacy
Patients should have an appropriate examination room, reasonable privacy while changing or preparing, and protection from unnecessary entry during a scan. Ask about the arrangements if you have particular concerns.
🗣️ Clear communication
Before the examination begins, you should understand what the procedure involves, what preparation is required and whether any additional assistance will be present in the room.
👩⚕️ Know who is scanning you
If you made your appointment specifically to see a named radiologist, ask the staff to confirm her availability before the scan begins. A centre's association with a doctor does not, by itself, establish who will perform every examination.
📄 Know who interprets the findings
Ask who will review the images, interpret the findings and sign the final report. If another practitioner assists with the examination, the arrangement should be explained accurately.
Our view: A comfortable patient experience depends on privacy, clear communication, appropriate clinical expertise and transparent information about the person responsible for the examination. No single factor should be treated as a substitute for the others.
Will Dr. Khalida Salim Perform Your Ultrasound Herself?
This is worth checking if you are travelling to S.K. Diagnostic Centre specifically to consult Dr. Khalida Salim.
In a diagnostic setting, the person who performs an ultrasound and the person who interprets the findings may not always be the same. Their respective roles should be explained clearly to the patient.
During the visit documented for this page, the centre's signboard identified Dr. Khalida Salim. The information supplied to us also raises a question about whether another female practitioner may conduct some scans. We have not independently established that practitioner's identity, qualifications, registration, scope of practice or the examinations she performs.
For that reason, we cannot responsibly state that every patient is scanned by a different practitioner, or that a particular practitioner is less competent. Those would be clinical claims requiring evidence.
Before registration
Ask whether Dr. Khalida Salim is available for your specific examination, rather than assuming that she will be present because her name appears on the centre's signboard.
Before the examination
Confirm the identity and professional role of the practitioner who will conduct the scan. If the arrangement differs from what you requested, you can ask for an explanation before proceeding.
When collecting the report
Check the report for the responsible practitioner's name, qualifications and signature, as applicable. Ask the centre if you need clarification about who performed the examination and who reported it.
Why we include this information: Patients should be able to make an informed choice. Clear information about the person performing and interpreting a scan helps prevent misunderstandings and unnecessary disappointment.
What Ultrasound Services Are Available at S.K. Diagnostic Centre?
Public listings associate the centre with ultrasound services, but the exact current examination list could not be independently confirmed. Contact the centre before travelling to ask whether it performs your required scan.
🤰 Pregnancy ultrasound
If you need an obstetric ultrasound, ask whether the examination requested by your treating doctor is available and which practitioner will conduct and report it.
🩻 General ultrasound
For abdominal, pelvic or other general ultrasound examinations, confirm the precise type of scan and any preparation instructions before visiting.
🩺 Specialised examinations
If you require a specialised scan, such as a particular Doppler examination, do not assume that it is available simply because the centre offers ultrasound. Ask directly.
🧪 Blood tests and X-rays
Some older online listings mention laboratory investigations and digital X-ray services. Their current availability has not been verified through the information available for this page. Confirm before relying on those listings.
Before leaving home, confirm these four things
- Whether the exact ultrasound examination you need is offered.
- Whether Dr. Khalida Salim will be available for your scan.
- Who will perform and interpret the examination.
- The current fee, arrival time and preparation instructions.
These checks are especially useful for pregnant women, elderly patients and families travelling from distant parts of Kashmir.
What Should Patients Know About the Premises?
A diagnostic centre's location and clinical service are important, but so are the practical conditions patients encounter on arrival. The following observations relate to the supplied visit photographs, not to a formal building or clinical inspection.
🪜 Staircase access
The supplied photographs show a staircase on the route towards the clinic. This may be inconvenient for pregnant women, patients with painful mobility conditions, elderly visitors and people who use walking aids.
We could not establish from the photographs whether another accessible entrance or a lift is available. If stairs are difficult for you, confirm the arrangements before travelling.
💡 Lighting and waiting space
The photographs show an enclosed waiting area with daylight entering through windows. The interior appears relatively dim in the supplied images, although lighting conditions can vary with the time of day and camera exposure.
Patients who prefer a brighter or more spacious waiting environment may wish to consider these photographs alongside their own needs.
🏥 Building and approach
The images show a street-facing entrance, a narrow internal approach and adjoining commercial premises. They provide a useful visual reference for locating the clinic.
They do not establish the building's structural safety, infection-control performance or the condition of every room.
🧼 Cleanliness and hygiene
Photographs of an entrance or waiting area cannot establish the cleanliness of an ultrasound examination room or the adequacy of clinical infection-control practices.
Patients can reasonably expect appropriate cleaning of examination equipment and contact surfaces, suitable privacy and hygienic facilities. Ask the centre if you have a specific concern.
Is the centre suitable for a patient who cannot climb stairs?
Do not assume that it is accessible. The photographs show steps, and lift access has not been confirmed. If you are pregnant, have limited mobility or are accompanying someone who needs physical assistance, telephone ahead and ask exactly how the examination room can be reached.
The building photographs are included to help patients plan realistically, not to make a medical judgement about the radiologist or the quality of ultrasound examinations.
What May Suit You — and What You Should Check First
No single diagnostic centre is the right choice for every patient. Your decision should reflect the examination you need, the practitioner you want to see, accessibility and the information you receive before booking.
✓ Potential advantages
- The centre is associated with Dr. Khalida Salim, who is listed publicly as a radiologist.
- The location opposite L.D. Hospital is a useful landmark for patients familiar with Wazir Bagh.
- Patients who prefer a female radiologist can ask about the availability of Dr. Khalida Salim before making the journey.
! Points to check before visiting
- Whether the doctor will personally perform and interpret your examination.
- Which ultrasound examinations are currently available and their fees.
- The correct current opening time and contact number.
- Whether lift or alternative access is available if you cannot comfortably use stairs.
- Whether any additional services shown in online directories are actually offered today.
Our recommendation: If you choose S.K. Diagnostic Centre because you specifically want Dr. Khalida Salim to perform your scan, make that request explicit when arranging the visit. Confirming the practitioner and examination in advance can prevent an avoidable journey and a mismatch between your expectations and the service offered.

Timings, Contact Number and Available Services
Several online listings contain information about S.K. Diagnostic Centre, but the details are not entirely consistent. Here is what patients should know before relying on them.
🕙 Opening hours
An older directory lists 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for both summer and winter. Information supplied from a recent visit indicates that activity begins around 10:00 AM. Neither schedule has been independently confirmed as the current official opening time.
Confirm the time of your specific examination before leaving home.
☎ Telephone number

Ask whether the test is performed at the centre itself or referred elsewhere.
💰 Fees and appointments
We could not verify a current official fee schedule or a confirmed online booking system. Ask about the price of your particular scan, whether an appointment is necessary, and whether the named radiologist will be available.
Important: Avoid relying on old directory advertisements for home sample collection, blood tests, X-rays, opening hours or phone numbers unless the centre confirms them directly.
What Should You Do Before Visiting for an Ultrasound?
A little preparation can prevent unnecessary waiting or a repeat visit. The instructions depend on the type of examination prescribed.
📄 Bring previous reports
Carry earlier ultrasound reports, relevant investigations and the referral note from your treating doctor, if available. These may help the reporting doctor understand the reason for your examination.
🥤 Confirm preparation instructions
Some ultrasound examinations require a full bladder, while others may require fasting. Ask the centre which preparation applies to your specific scan rather than following general instructions meant for a different test.
👩⚕️ Confirm the practitioner
If you are visiting specifically for Dr. Khalida Salim, ask whether she will personally perform and interpret your examination. Confirm this before travelling, especially from a distant area.
🪜 Plan for the building access
Review the staircase photographs if climbing stairs may be difficult. Confirm lift availability or other access arrangements before making the journey.
If you are unsure whether to eat, drink water or arrive with a full bladder, follow the instructions given for your specific examination by the healthcare professional arranging your scan.
