NOT SAFE for Elderly Patients Our visit to this MRI office…read morewas deeply concerning from start to finish. The front desk staff was extremely rude to my elderly mother and completely inattentive to patient safety. After her scan, she was left to walk out of the dressing room into a nondescript hallway with several locked doors--and there were no staff at reception or anywhere nearby. I'm grateful she didn't fall or injure herself before I spotted her looking through the glass window toward the waiting area. Healthcare professionals should absolutely know better and do better. The situation went from neglectful to outright disrespectful when my mother realized she had forgotten something in a locker. Again, no staff were present. We searched for help, knocking on several doors before the receptionist finally appeared, remarking that she was "on lunch" and asking what my elderly mother wanted--in a clearly patronizing tone. When I asked to speak with a manager, the staff member refused and said she would be "reporting" me instead. We left without recovering the item. Later, the same staff member called to say they found it but refused to give her name, ending the call abruptly with "Have a blessed day." This behavior is unacceptable and completely unprofessional. Elderly patients deserve compassion, patience, and respect--none of which were shown here. We will never return to Shields MRI.

Also, they run a very reliable schedule so you won't have to worry about delays for your appointment. I highly recommend this Shields site.

The website is not user friendly and even with an account you can't look up payment history. It's a terrible system.

I collected a kit from 959 Concord St, Framingham, MA 01701 to submit samples (to be collected at…read morehome) for a key test ordered by my healthcare provider. To my utter disappointment, I later realized that the kit had incomplete components and no instructions making it impossible to proceed with the sample collection. This left me uncertain about the correct procedure for collecting and submitting my sample. To resolve these issues, I attempted to contact the lab on multiple occasions via phone; however, my calls have gone unanswered and I am yet to receive any form of response or assistance. I reached a 800 number and got mixed messages/instructions about sample collection and finally a phlebotomist offered some sort of advice. I find this attitude extremely unprofessional, insincere and lackadaisical. Not sure whether to trust them with processing my sample for this sensitive test!!

This is the worst medical facility I have ever been to. First the scheduling person told me that I…read morewould 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.
