American Dynamic Imaging

What downgrades the experience for me as a patient is being called over and over by representatives of this facility and asked to change the appointment time. This happened to me three times in the two days. Yes, these are open MRIs, which should help anyone who is claustrophobic. But the technician also shared and I subsequently learned through research that the accuracy is far less than with the closed MRI machines. The magnets used in the open systems are much weaker. I did not choose this facility; my doctor did. If given the choice in the future, I won’t return here.

I recently was scheduled for an MRI there and being very claustrophobic, was told it would be a ‘sitting’ MRI w/​o contrast but, when I got there, wasn’t afforded a sitting MRI but, in turn made to wear some enhancement belt, and placed on my right side ‘squashed’ in between the two pieces of the machine… no Xanax etc given; needless to say I was very exasperated and quite easily became flush which almost resulted in becoming sick upon exiting the machine:(But, was really disappointed when my orthopedic Dr read the films and was quoted as saying: ‘they were in poor quality’…I don’t think I will use this place again :(

Wow! This is how MRIs should be done:)
I am claustrophobic, very very claustrophobic. An MRI was ordered for my brain and was first sent to a place with a traditional MRI. Even on Valium, there was no way I could do the traditional lay on your back with a cage over your face stuck inside a tube not much larger than your head!
So I heard about this place that offered «The New MRI» and my doctor changed my script to get one at this place on my request. The minute you walk in the doors, you don’t even feel like you are in a medical office, in fact it is more reminiscent of the ambiance and feel of the massage place I frequent. the best way to describe the way this New MRI looks is like a hot dog, in fact they use that as a visual when people ask about the process. So in essence, you are the hot dog sitting in a giant hot dog bun:) For head scans, what looks like a football helmet comes down over your head, but it is very very open, you don’t feel claustrophobic at all! They can even play music while you are undergoing the scans and/​or watch a nice sized flat screen TV in front of you. Now, I wear glasses and don’t do the contact thing, so i was not watching anything but it is nice they have the option.
They should dress the MRI machine up like an actual hot dog bun and give small kids the option to wear a hot dog suit and have their picture taken before and after the procedure;)
In any case, I was so happy I went to this place for my MRI and got through it without any issues:)
