My interactions with the MRI group were disappointing. After suffering a back injury, I went into the ER at LG Health and had an MRI. After being told the radiologist that read the scan interpreted it as a bulging disk, I was discharged to home with pain, numbness and weakness of my leg. I suffered through the next 2 weeks before my primary doctor referred me to a neurosurgeon for follow up.
At that office visit, I was told that the radiologist at the MRI group misinterpreted the MRI and that I indeed had a left far lateral disk herniation. I read up on this diagnosis and it can be commonly missed by radiology.
I did receive a bill for there diagnostic service but I refused to pay for a misread MRI causing me a delay in treatment and pain and suffering. After disputing the bill, I was told that the radiology would not change her opinion and that I would need to pay the bill. Right now I am awaiting surgery to repair that disk herniation. This radiologist won't admit her mistake and is arrogant and conceited (I even sent over the documentation from the neurosurgeons notes). Obviously they don't care about their patients, just their wallets!! read more
