The most incompetent MRI and I've had a lot to compare them to. I was positioned on my stomach with my head down so breathing was difficult and the pillow she put under my right side did not lift my head. They never said it was taking 45 minutes so I had no idea how long the torture was lasting. The person couldn't insert the contrast two/thirds the way into the process and after repeatedly shoving my arm had to get someone else to do it.

I have gotten sonograms done at Washington Radiology Associates, but never an MRI. I called and was given an appointment a week later for 11:45 am. At the time that I made the appointment I was told that the actual MRI would be at 12:15, but I needed to be there at 11:45 for preparation. I arrived at the appointed time and was told that I would have to reschedule because I should have been there at 11:15 and that someone should have called me the day before to let me know this. Since I write everything down, I had y note... read more
