To clarify any confusion, this place used to be called Signet Diagnostic and the signs on Roosevelt and on the building still say that. But, all paperwork says Elite - they just have not corrected the signage outside.
The last time I was here was 6 years ago and while the building was old even then, the interior (patient dressing rooms and testing areas) appeared brand new, clean and welcoming but the waiting area was dark and dingy. Fast forward to now, it's the opposite. The waiting area is bright and clean, and the patient dressing rooms and testing areas are dingy and in disrepair.
The dressing area had broken lockers (so you have to keep your valuables with you at all times) and looked like it hadn't been swept or wiped down in a while. The testing area (mammograms) had a very large water leak somewhere and blue pads all over the floor to mop it up and smelled like mildew. Considering all the expensive medical equipment in the room, you'd think they'd be more proactive about plumbing.
The women in the waiting area that process your insurance, etc., were polite. The mammogram tech, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. She was a low-talker and mumbled, only enunciating properly when I had to ask her to repeat herself. She yelled at me for stepping on the wet mess on the floor (I couldn't avoid it) and she yelled at me for walking too close to her extensive toy collection in the windowsill (not very professional). She also got very irritated when she quizzed me on health issues (not asked on the form I filled out) and I had to look up the dates. She also made borderline inappropriate remarks about my hair and a tattoo on my breast.
I cannot say whether she was unduly rough during the actual test because, by its nature, a mammogram is quite uncomfortable anyway. I will say she was nasty when it was all over with, telling me I "better make sure you're covered up" as I went back to the dressing area. I thought she was joking at first (I was covered up when I walked in) but by the scowl on her face, it was easy to see that she assumed I was just going to streak half-naked through the hallways just to tick her off.
I did receive my results in a very fast manner (via mail) but all things considered, I most likely will not return to this location next year. read more
