Washington Radiology failed to provide a CT scan due to bad booking practices. Wouldn't go there even if my life depends on it! Terrible experience. Humble suggestion: Avoid it at all cost.

Went in for a CT. Insurance company notified me that CT was changed to CT/CTA. No notification given. Results of CT sent to 3 doctors. Now have to get results of CTA and forward. Show up and be told that it's nice I dressed up for CT but I need to put on gown. Note, was in work clothes and not dressed up. Blanket thrown on me before CT and I asked to have it removed. Was told that "everyone wants one" but I did not and would have liked a question first. Had other CTs. This place more expensive. Requires 5 days wait for ins... read more

Waited 45 minutes past my appointment time, to get in for "follow up". I was informed that although I asked for a 2d image for my mammogram, they charged me for a 3 D. $50 more expensive and I didn't authorize it. Not patient oriented. My technician read a script, gave me the worst and most painful mammo I've ever had. Find somewhere else. WRA used to be top notch, not anymore. Technicians aren't trained to reduce pain in any way and they're not patient oriented.

Receptionist was extremely rude. Rolled her eyes at me when she called my name and I didn't hear her the first time because she muttered it so quietly. Got interrogated about the referral/form from my doctor, even though the paperwork was clear. Couldn't answer any questions about insurance/billing and my appointment started 30 minutes late, despite me arriving early and bringing all the necessary forms, already filled out. The woman who took me back to a separate waiting area was also gruff and unpleasant. Took me into the ... read more

I went to Washington Radiology because the location was convenient. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!! Once I got into the room for the procedure and the woman came in, I asked her if she was going to do the procedure and I expressed that I was a bit scared to get it done. She just walked out!!!!!!!! No explanation, not one word!!!!!!! Another woman came in and continued with my appointment. I told the second woman what had just occurred. She said she would speak to her. But it was horrifying to express your fears only to have the tech ... read more

Have been at WRA for more than 2 hours now, even though I had a 9 am appointment. They were already behind schedule for MRIs, and then I was told it would take a little while to get my images handed to me on a CD. Now it has been more than an hour for that. If I had known it was going to take this long, I would have come back later to get it. Would have been 1 star but for how nice the techs were. My insurer already suggested I could go somewhere more affordable. Now I know for next time.

This review is specifically about the nightmare of parking at Washington Radiology's location on Fernwood Drive in Bethesda. The parking facility basically doubled its rates a few years ago, so I've learned to cut things close: if I get there five minutes before my annual mammogram appt, I can get out in an hour -- thereby paying four dollars, rather than the INSANE price of $8.00 for one to two hours. But no: I love the staff at Washington Radiology, so when they asked me to fill out a survey at their little machine by the ... read more

If you have an option to go elsewhere for an MRI, you should consider it. I had a pre-surgery MRI and was very surprised to receive a bill for $200+ for co-insurance from Washington Radiology. Mind you this is after BCBS paid their $300 share. The bill arrived claiming that the overall cost of a 20 minute MRI was $1800. I paid the $200 bill figuring there is no option, but I would like them to know that my co-insurance for the entire $9000 surgery was only $185. In my opinion, they overcharged me. They should inform pe... read more

Most of the staff were very friendly and I didn't have to wait long, which is why I gave this place two stars instead of one. I'm very upset with the way the radiologist treated me. When he came in to tell me the results of my sonograms, he was unwilling to answer any questions and, no exaggeration, told me to google my condition. Not okay.
