I was sent here by Hoag Urgent Care for imaging, as they didn't have a CT machine over at the location I was at.
First, this location off of Beach & Yorktown is a lot more calm compared to the other Hoag Imaging Center off Superior Ave in Newport. The roads and parking spaces are wider - AND the best part - there's a decent-sized parking structure with free parking. You don't need to get a ticket and then remember to get it validated. I had no trouble finding parking on the ground floor. The structure is a short 2-3 minute walk to the Imaging Center.
There was no wait and ample seating in the lobby. Nikki checked me in, had me fill out some forms, and was able to pull my order and patient details from my clinic visit. Wait time was not bad considering I was a walk-in (sent over to here by Hoag Urgent Care) - it's not like you're waiting for one machine - there were multiple rooms, techs, machines - so the wait wasn't too long. Probably 20 minutes or so. Nikki offered a bottled water when I asked if there were a water machine around.
I can't remember my tech's name, but she was very caring, friendly, and professional while I was getting my CT scan. The entire process took just a few minutes, and I had the results read and confirmed by call less than an hour later.
Of course, you wouldn't expect any less from Hoag - I'm pretty sure I'm going to pay for this at some point - despite confirming multiple times they were in-network as part of my PPO. Barely into 2024, so I'm likely going to put a dent into that deductible.
Overall, this is a great location for imaging - high quality staff, care, and service. read more
