Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Radiology

My 3 year old needed a chest x-​ray to rule out pneumonia. She was scared, and uncooperative, but not out of the ordinary for a 3 year old’s first x-​ray. The technician (tall Asian man, I will leave him unnamed) yelled at my daughter, and put his hands on her to show her how to sit straight. She was screaming, he called her a baby, and yelled back at her. I told him to get the f*&k out of my room and he left. A super sweet technician named Ellen came in and saved the day. She was wonderful and was able to get the x-​rays needed without an issue. The office manager said I am not the first one to complain about this technician and seemed less than shocked at his behavior, which leads me to believe he has done this before. No child, or person for that matter, deserves to be treated that way, nor did he have the right to PHYSICALLY put his hands on my child. I will be following up with this matter, and will not be back to this location again.

Had a really wonderful experience here! The staff were all very friendly, it was very clean, easy to make an appointment, the wait time was minimal, and they offer tea/​coffee/​water while you wait!
