Call you doctor: X-ray results should be available within one day at most. Call your doctor if you are waiting longer than that.

Call office: Usually not longer than 24 hours. If taking too long you should contact office of practice and ask to speak with office manager not the receptionist about delay in report. The office manager usually wants practice to run smoothly. This often speeds up process.
