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?

This office was easy to find, behind another building off Little Patuxent in Columbia MD. There was parking right out front. I arrived a little early, (Jun 2026), hoping to get to another appointment immediately afterwards, and they were able to accommodate me. The staff was professional. I felt well informed and well cared for. Results were provided within a couple of hours! That's very nice.

I almost made a…read more3pm appointment but the call center attendant warned me to not make that appointment as I needed to fast and made sure to get me an appointment by 10am. I was very thankful for him not just recommending the first available appointment. The paperwork online was also very easy to upload and streamlined the check in process. When I got there for my appointment, they checked me in and I waited all of 5 minutes. Once being scanned, the techs were very friendly, professional, and made it feel like nap time for a tired mom. The only negative which I don't consider a true negative, was it was my techs first day on the job so there was a supervisor teaching her and it took longer than what I think a normal appointment would be. But better to train techs right than to not teach them and have bad service?

I had a good experience here about a month ago when I needed a somewhat urgent MRI. I'd just been…read moreat my primary care doctor's office next door and decided to see if they could fit me in here for the MRI she'd ordered. They could, but of course there were insurance hassles. The front desk staff was very helpful in dealing with the insurance company, and contacting my doctor's office to get them to amend their order so that the insurance approval would go through ASAP. I feel bad for not remembering the name of the staff member who handled this for me because she really helpful during an extremely stressful day for me.

This is my first time writing a bad review, ever. I do not believe in bad reviews because I…read moreunderstand life is tough and we are all only human, especially since I work in healthcare. However, I am beyond frustrated with this radiology office. I am a healthy, young adult who previous tore an ACL. I was referred to this office from Dr. Packer right across the suite. When I walked across the hall to schedule my MRI, I told the woman at the front desk I did not want the procedure if I had to pay out of pocket as it was not an urgent case and funds are short for me, currently. She reached out to billing and got back to me a couple days later that I would not be charged anything for the appointment. Next thing I know, a $316.00 bill came in the mail for the appointment. After several phone calls to the office, billing department, and eventually my insurance company, it was found the charge came from a $300 deductible and a coinsurance payment. The office has written documentation claiming they told me I would owe nothing. There is also written documentation from billing that mentions the deductible, yet still states I owe nothing. A clear error was made on this office's part (for which the manager even claimed "it was our fault"), yet the manager says she cannot write off the charge and I am still responsible for the $316.00 burden. Like I mentioned, I WOULD NOT have went through with the procedure if I had to pay even just $50 let alone $300. I cannot believe that even with written documentation stating I owe nothing, I am still required to pay this bill. Do yourself a favor and find a diagnostic imaging center with a staff that treats their patients with integrity, or at least a competent billing department that can understand insurance policies. There are plenty of other offices in the area. Side note: I will say, the patient care I received here was excellent, but I'm sure one can find plenty of other kind people to place them in a diagnostic imaging machine and press a few buttons elsewhere.

They will not call you by your correct pronoun even when you try to correct them the tech said they were trained this way so instead of using pronoun u asked them just call by the name you gave them and they still referred to the incorrect pronoun and they did try calling by your name so I gave a 2.5 star for trying. I think the staff could use an over haul training to comply with the time. It's sought of outdated. But thank goodness they try to be kind. I give them that. If I had another option I won't come here. Being respectful and kindness can goes along way with healthcare services in my opinion. Thanks.

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!

This place is great unless you have ongoing issues from radiation. They will tell you it isn't the…read moreradiation and you will be left seeing doctors who don't specialize in radiation to figure out what is wrong. Not sure the point of a follow-up if they don't care. They were condescendingly surprised I would want a PT referral. I may have a serious medical issue caused by radiation and the disbelief in my symptoms has prolonged any answers. I cant even read to my son at night anymore, I cant go anywhere/do anything... and to be disregarded is devastating. Most people don't have issues from radiation, but I would try to go somewhere that actually wants to address ongoing issues if they happen and get to the bottom of it. Ask what steps they will take if you have any ongoing symptoms related to radiation treatment (or at least a recommendation if this does happen), if they don't give you an answer go somewhere else.

Just endured a scheduling nightmare that ended up wastinb 3.5 hours of my time -- and still no MRI…read more the people at the facility are fine, especially the sympathetic manager who helped me figure out other options. But the call center staff that schedule appts are poorly informed, and clearly do not communicate well with the clinics. So what went wrong? First, the scheduler scheduled my 2 MRI appts back to back -- turned out that can't be done in this case. Next, by text, they cancelled the 2nd appt -- with under 24 hours notice. When I dalled the phone number (I tried repeatedly), it just rang and rang -- no answer, no recording. So I called the phone number in a differnt text and was told, "I see your 2 appointments; they aren't cancelled. Just igore that 2nd text!" When I arrived they said, "No the 2nd appt was cancelled -- these procedures can't be done on same day. the call center is wrong. You should have called the clinic (I did but that was the number that went unanswered!) Finally to top it off, they informed me for the first time that this particular center only has the older narrow type MRI machine. So I'd have to lie perfectly still, on my stomach, on the hard surface, with my arm fully extended above my head, for 40 minutes. The tech was honest, "Some people can't do it." I tried it but found it unbearable, especially for my shoulder. Honestly, it reminded me of pictures of the contorted positions Guantanamon prisoners were forced into as a form of torture that leaves no marks. Try it sometime on the floor; you'll see what I mean. I finally left the clinic, vowing to never return to Advanced Radiology. Never again!
