On 9-29-26 I had 3 MRIs and 1 CT scan scheduled to be done at this Location. I am a combat veteran with Severe PTSD, I have to have a service dog with me 24/7 due to flashbacks.
The first MRI caused me to have a flashback, the staff was told not to touch me, they ignored that rule. I told the Staff I need my service dog and wife because I need to take some medicine..... I was not allowed to have my service dog near me because they had a Muslim working in the dept and was giving me the test. This is a violation of VA policy and the federal law protecting people under ADA and DOJ jurisdiction and standards that a service dog can be with me in any situation of a hospital except the operating room or where there are open wounds. Every single person that had came in contact with me during this remarked how well me dog behave.
The head person, Gwen, came in an area where I was gathering myself and waiting for my wife to bring my dog and medicine to me. Gwen the in a demanding mentor and determined voice told me that I need to hurry up and come to the room to get the next MRI!! It a space of 8 minutes she did this 3 times. My wife came back with me to a waiting area by the room where the test was taking place. Gwen then began berating me and wife of my dog along with the Muslim woman that was standing near me.
After a conversation of her telling me she did not want me at their place of business because of my service dog, I proceeded to take the second test, due to the berating I was receiving, the staff not listening that the machine was burning me due to the coils overheating I had another flashback. Gwen had already called the police, I was in the machine. She pulled me out of the machine where when my head exited the machine she was bent down where her face was touching mine and yelling at me and the other Tech about she didn't have time for this and once again said she didn't want me in her room.
I was standing trying to gather myself and recover from the flashback when she came in the room yelling I need to get out she had other patients.... She did this 3 more times each time me asking for a minute to gather myself.... She then screamed that she had called the police and Officer Lord was at th door and I need to leave. The officer never said a word to me at all.
After a few minutes I got my self composed. I left the room went to the locker to retrieve my stuff when I asked the officer for an incident report number he denied me one. Then said that Gwen wanted me to leave... They did not issue me a trespass and after 7 mins of telling me he was not going to do a report for escorting me off the premises, I told him that I was calling the Desk Sargent and Cheif before leaving the premises for him refusing me a incident report number where they called the police because I was doing what was with in my rights under the ADA and DOJ! He reluctantly gave me the incident number.
Remember that I am a combat veteran that was sent here by the VA and was treated this way because in the Muslim religion they think dogs are unclean animals. I have to have this service dog for having served my country.
The main person in charge of this location was not there and this is a case of Three women in total.... Gwen, The Muslim and the Person left in charge for the day decided to mistreat and abuse a Disabled Combat Veteran.... I am filing a report with the State, DOJ VA and the ADA for the abuse received at this location.
I will not recommend them under any circumstance and hope you choose a better establishment then this one. They treated me like a criminal and a second class citizen because I needed a service dog and they hired a Muslim did not want to be around a dog. I bleed for my country and the VA sent me here to have my PTSD pushed till I had 2 flashbacks and then called the cops on me for a medical condition.... These people live under the freedom that I fought for all to be able to treat me like a POS.
Please do not use this place till they change their policy and treat veterans with respect. This could be you with any type of medical condition that need a little extra attention that you won't receive from this staff.
It makes me sick to my stomach to know that I defend these peoples freedom!
Thank You for choosing a different provider till they change policy and treatment of their patients. read more
