This is the worst medical facility I have ever been to. First the scheduling person told me that I would need to fast from all liquids for six hours prior to the MRI. This was not true. I found out as soon as I can got there that I could have drunk water the entire day; I was only to fast from food. Going 6 hours for a person who takes several dehydrating medications was bad & it hurt the MRI procedure because I was so dehydrated the nurse couldn't find a vein to give me contrasting dye.
She ended up poking me multiple times, giving me several bruises & finally decided to do the MRI, without contrast first & decided to do the second one, with contrasting, later. When she tried injecting me with the solution, she again poked me several times until she finally found a vein but not without both arms bruised, swollen & leaving me in pain.
The MRI itself was the worst I have ever had (& I've had several due to severe back issues). They couldn't hear me screaming out to lower the volume because the headphones thundering in my ear, playing beating drugs, while someone to breath in & out for what was close to an hour & 1/2 (& they told me the entire process should only take 30 minutes.
I left dehydrated, with a migraine headache, & looking like a junkie.
If the process weren't bad enough, the radiologist's results were totally bogus. His report said I clearly had a 7 mm cyst, tumor, or stone on my ampulla (connecting the bile ducts to the pancreas) so it was necessary for me to have a very expensive procedure where they found absolutely nothing! There was NO 7mm anywhere on my ampulla. So this radiologist was totally incompetent. It was an uncomfortable & unnecessary procedure.
I was talked into using this place by my insurance company, who claimed it would save me 500.00 but ended up costing 10 times that! I will never take their bad advice again!
Go anywhere else to have your MRI! This was one of my worst medical decisions & experiences. read more
