I've had 3 MRIs done here (most recently on Jan 23) and have always been very satisfied with the care I've received. The staff is awesome and works with you to make your procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible. Be sure to come at least a half hour early to fill out your forms (you can also do this online before your appointment). Then your tech will take you to your dressing room to change (if necessary) and give you a locker and key for your stuff. They'll position you as confortably as possible for your scan, clearly explain everything that will happen, and give you a set of headphones so you can relax to your favorite musical genre as well as drown out the machinery noise. They've got every type of music, from Bach to Rock. This is an especially nice accommodation if you're in pain, nervous or claustrophobic.
My injury is to my spine and is extremely painful. Their wonderful pillow is so comfortable that I asked them about buying one! It can be chilly in the room, so you may wish to wear a something warm or bring a blankie with you. (They supplied me with one at my first visit too). They'll do their best to spare you discomfort if you're in pain. Mine is chronic and I can't thank them enough for going this extra mile for me.
The waiting room is cheerful, comfortable and equipped with wi-fi and a coffee machine while you or companions await your scan.
You'll leave with a CD of your images and they'll forward all your reports to your doc. They'll also email it to if you provide your email addy on your forms.
I've had scans at other sites in the Triangle, and got good care at all of them, but the staff here is exceptional and won't make you feel like you're just another body on the conveyer belt of medical procedures. A friend who is extremely claustrophobic prefers to come here because the staff is so patient; he was treated like a nuisance, complete with rolling eyes and heaving sighs, despite explaining that he's a combat vet with severe PTSD, by another local provider.
This site is conveniently located on Highway 42 in Clayton, in the health care "shopping center" beside the new hospital. There's lots of available parking and it's easy to find. If you live in Goldsboro, Garner, Clayton or Smithfield it's a fast trip to and from on Hwy 70.
If your health care provider is responsive and gives you a choice, request to come here. You'll be very glad you did. To this fabulous staff: A great big thank you! read more
