I've had pretty reliably good experiences as far as the imaging services & personnel. Two negative changes have been: (1) never-ending text & email reminders to complete check-in online even after having completed it all; & (2) scheduling appt's seems to go to a call center where sometimes the person I reach is knowledgeable & sometimes not.

I reached out to family members in the area, and set up my local medical team, and it included Dr Jeffrey Askew. I was impressed from the moment I arrived: I was warmly greeted, treated respectfully and helped to find my way around, and Dr Askew, the cardiologist, was excellent. The combination of the excellent front desk staff, truly dedicated nurses, the types of medical equipment and being able to have many of the sophisticated tests done on-premise truly surprised me and impressed me. I highly recommend Oracle Heart & Vascular to anyone who is looking for an outstanding heart and vascular team of highly skilled and dedicated people!

The tech went tried to get ahold of the company but they didn't open for 2 more hours online it stated it could shut off the pump so it didn't want to take a chance because my dr is in Baltimore no dr around here would be able to check it for me. I think that there should have been a programmer there where I was getting the mri so they could check to see if my pump is still on and didn't get turned off. Actually EVERY MRI facility should have this programmer to check for people like me there not programming anything just checking for on and off I'm sure Medtronics and make something so every place has one.

In the past at a larger radiology place in Waldorf, I've been able to schedule two exams for one visit. However I was told this was not an option so I scheduled the one I thought was the most urgent first. Tech could not start the IV after a few tries which was fine. However when I returned for the next MRI a few days later I was told the exam was marked as incomplete Siri the fact the last tech could not get the IV in for the dye. The tech performing the next MRI was able to get the IV and finish the first MRI and second. Days later and I still have no report from either exam. I have no problem with the techs performing the MRIs, they seemed to do the best they could with what appeared to be limited help. However, Tower seems to have no sense of urgency. I went with Tower because they could get me in sooner. However this has not made a difference and at this point I should have just went with another imaging spot. The patient portal is also bootleg. I will absolutely never go here again. I will stick with another bigger name radiology company that has moved into a brand new building. This place may be good for routine imaging, this maybe's good spot but I absolutely would not recommend for an urgent concern.

I have always had great experiences with the technicians and front office staff for my mammograms. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that sometimes finding availability in their schedule can be an issue. Sometimes, I have had to schedule weeks out and their office hours are not conducive for folks who work 9-5. However, if you have flexibility during the weekdays I highly recommend them!

I have had significant issues with charges being more than quoted over the phone, incomplete communication about authorization, deductibles, and other things. However, generally speaking, they have gotten the job done. I don't like that parking needs validation and they only validate up to 1.5 hours - and some mammograms take longer with ultrasound and additional imaging. They also can be a bit short over the phone, and fail to provide context that other radiology facilities might be more inclined to include. However, I do appreciate that this location has a broad range of services available and is prompt with answering calls and attempting to answer questions. Never my first choice as there are some amazing radiologist in the area, but a lot of them have inconvenient appointment times and can take months to schedule. I wouldn't suggest parking on the street, as the police ticket cars immediately when the meter expires. The parking garage is also an issue when going for a first mammogram as they tend to take longer. For subsequent visits, they are good about getting patients out very quickly while still doing what needs to be done. Though, you may feel rushed, I do like it better this way than worrying about having to pay for going over time in the parking garage. One thing I don't like about them is that they had been charging $20 for a CD to bring back to your provider. The other radiologists that I've been to have never charged me for a CD, so I was very disappointed as my provider was shocked that the CD costs exta and she prefers the CDs to go over the findings with patients in an extended consultation with lots of visuals - she apparently needs to CD to do this effectively, so I was not able to receive the same level of detail about my treatment plan that I previously received, due to having my imaging done at Tower Radiology. I hope that they reconsider this charge. Anyway, I think it is better to know what to expect going into it. I added an extra star for convenience.
