I arrived and was prepped and walked into the room and it was not an Open MRI. Even to examine the hip they put the entire body in the tube within inches of the the tube. I would not call myself claustrophobic, but this type of MRI causes that feeling for me. They suggested getting a new RX for an MRI while sedated. I don't like the extra risk for sedation when there are actual Open MRI systems nearby.

Dealing with Charter Radiology over the past two months has been a nightmare. I do want to shoutout…read moreKJ from the billing department and the front desk ladies at the Columbia location. One of the front desk workers (a male whose name I'm not sure of) called me on the way to one of my appointments and told me I owed Charter about $800 more than what I had already paid as a copay, which I paid the previous day, January 30th. I wouldn't be able to get my procedure done without paying. I'm aware of my insurance coverage and told him that I thought this was incorrect. He began to talk over me. I needed the MRI done, so I paid the money when I arrived and asked for an itemized receipt. He told me he couldn't give me one and that everything would show up on my patient portal. It did not. When I followed up with my insurance company, they shared that Charter Radiology incorrectly billed them for my MRI services and did not provide information on how much the actual services were on the claim. I knew I overpaid Charter Radiology and contacted them to resolve the issue. They resubmitted my claim and still held over $800 of my money. KJ in the billing department was really helpful in moving this issue forward but this morning I saw that the pending transaction from Charter Radiology to my credit card was cancelled on their end and they still owe me $821.81. I tried to be patient and resolve this issue privately, but customers need to know that this company is dishonest, has a staff member who bills incorrectly at the Columbia location, promises a refund and then rescinds it. This issue has been ongoing from January 31st. It is now March 20th. When will my $821.81 be returned to me?

Ease of appointment center, though, needs to be thru individual location not one stop. One stop people don't know equipment. For example.

I had such a wonderful experience at Advanced Radiology that I felt compelled to share…read more I went in for a Dexa Scan and, at first glance, the waiting room was pretty packed. Normally that might feel overwhelming, but from the moment I walked in, the tone was completely different. I was greeted right away by a genuinely happy staff member who kindly directed me where to sign in. It immediately set a positive tone. Within just a few minutes, I was called up and welcomed by Amie, who was incredibly warm and professional. She apologized for the wait, which honestly didn't even feel like a wait at all. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out. Not long after, I was brought back by Taliyah--and I have to say, the positivity continued. She was fantastic. Professional, personable, and respectful, she took the time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. During the scan, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease, which makes all the difference in a medical setting. What impressed me most was the overall environment. Every single staff member I encountered seemed genuinely happy and worked together seamlessly as a team. Even with a full waiting room, everything flowed smoothly, communication was clear, and the energy felt healthy and supportive. Honestly, I'll take a short wait any day when it comes with this kind of care and attitude. It's rare to find a medical office where you feel both well taken care of and uplifted--and this was absolutely one of those places. Highly recommend!

Extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience…read more I am absolutely furious with how my 7-year-old son and I were treated today. He had a scheduled MRI with contrast, and although his doctor accidentally sent the wrong order, we caught it immediately and had it fixed right away. The first technician told us everything was good to go and even said, "We have a new advanced machine that can get this done in 45 minutes. Get him dressed and we'll get started." We waited about 15 minutes, only for a completely different technician to walk in and tell us they suddenly couldn't see him today because "all the nurses are leaving and it's too late." This was after my child had already changed and mentally prepared himself--no small thing for a frightened 7-year-old who was already anxious. To make matters worse, the second technician dismissed the first one, saying she was "silly" and "doesn't know what she's talking about." Completely unprofessional. They tried to reschedule us, but even that was a mess. I was told I'd have to wait around while they figured out how long the appointment would take. At that point, after being jerked around for over an hour, we left with nothing accomplished--no scan, no clear plan, and a very upset child who now has even more anxiety about getting this done. This experience caused unnecessary emotional distress for my son and was handled with zero communication or respect. If they had simply told us upfront that they couldn't take him today, we would have gladly rescheduled and spared him (and us) the stress. Instead, we were misled, contradicted, and dismissed. Parents: be cautious scheduling here. Communication is poor, staff are not on the same page, and they clearly prioritize their own convenience over patient care--especially for children.

It takes a turn or two to get to the elevator (someone walked me there) - take it to the 6th floor. In the elevator, it states what is on level 6 (among other levels in the building).

As you walk in, you will see a sign with an arrow telling you where to go. The Radiology Desk was to the left. Seats are in this area. Two employees were available to help - both were pleasant. I checked in with one of them. I liked the fact that the waiting area was almost empty. After my name was called, that employee I dealt with was also pleasant as well.

This is my 3rd time here and I absolutely love this place. The first time I came here, I came…read morebecause it was close to my job. The other 2 times I came was because I chose to. First and foremost, I have never had to wait. There aren't 10 or 11 people with the same appointment time as me. I check in, get my MRI, and I am gone. The staff is very friendly, have a great sense of humor, and they have a welcoming environment. I wish they were a doctor's office, because they have the concept of not keeping the patient waiting down to a science. The facility is clean and they always have Brock's candy in the candy dish...just an added bonus...LOL. So if you are in the need of an MRI...go here, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

UPDATE: I had the…read morepleasure to visit Advanced Radiology again today (though "pleasure" might be a bit of a stretch for a medical appointment). However, I can genuinely say it was a pleasure because of their incredible staff. Sharon and Sandy at the front desk are two of the kindest and most welcoming individuals I've ever encountered--not just in medical care, but in customer service overall. Sharon, the tech, was equally compassionate and professional, and Mariah, who prepped me for the MRI, was just as wonderful. The team at this facility is truly exceptional, and I can't commend them enough. I'm not sure where they were hired from, but their previous employers lost some outstanding people! Thank you, again!

The scheduling experience left much to be desired and brought me pause because if this is the first…read moreimpression, I'm not sure about how the appointment itself would be. I originally called this practice because I had heard they offered a more comfortable open bore MRI experience, but when I asked the scheduler about it she told me that only closed was offered. I told her that the website mentioned it, she then responded that told me she wasn't aware of that. Hmm. Odd. Maybe I need to speak with someone else then? But for now let me just get on the books, I thought. Well, that's when the frustration continued because I found myself repeating basic information over and over and over again. I got to the point where I would intentionally add more pauses when repeating the information, the scheduler would repeat back the information to me...but then moments later would ask me to repeat the same information again. Is this how everyone at the clinic will be? Not listening the first or second time, therefore requiring me, the patient, to constantly repeat myself when it comes to an already uncomfortable experience? It didn't inspire confidence in me, that's for sure. They also talked very low, like they were shy -- I had to ask them to speak louder several times, then they would barely increase the volume. Think just a hair above whisper-soft instead of average tone. The low end of the volume dial on an old radio instead of right in the middle. Now that I'm reading the other reviews here about how their appointments went...I feel like I might have been better off just sticking with the Radiology clinic I normally go to instead of trying a different one. I'd recommend that the clinic train its support staff and coach them on professionalism, as they are often the first-line impression and can sometimes make or break an experience for the patient. Have them speak confidently and in a steady tone (not above a whisper). Teach them active listening skills, ensure that they have decent reasoning skills (the scheduler got my address confused for the doctor's address -- although the MRI order clearly noted which was which). Furthermore, have them versed on what is offered and what isn't. I had to explain to the scheduler what I meant with "wide-open bore MRI" although that's exactly how it was described on the website. Shouldn't they be familiar with that and able to talk to it when a patient asks about it? I'll more than likely go back to my old clinic, at least I know what to expect with them and they've been pretty consistent with their service over the years.

The employees I interacted with were very pleasant, especially the lady at the front desk. Had a great conversation. Once your name is called, you will get the opportunity to check your items into a wooden locker (you are in charge of the key during your appointment). As you check out and retrieve your items, you then just leave the key on the outside of the locker (how you saw it before accessing it). There is signage providing where to dispose of your gown after your appointment. This location has been opened for a year (shared by one of the employees) and just based on service, experience, and location, I will definitely be back for sure.
