Stuart London, MD

If you have any choice at all — avoid these guys.
I was referred by my doctor, took time off, psyched myself up for this unpleasant procedure, took special medication that I had to take in order to get a mammogram, and ended up being insulted, strung along, and eventually refused service.
The office staff took 25 minutes to give me a straight answer. The issue was that my previous test results had not arrived.
First they accused me of not bringing them in. Then they looked at their paperwork and realized that they were expected by mail.
Then they accused me of not actually faxing the documentation to my previous doctor. Which I had done over 2 weeks ago.
They even questioned whether my general practitioner was actually someone I had seen! As if I would just get a mammogram for fun without a doctors order!
In the end — after hemming and hawing for 25 minutes — letting me think that they were going to do the test — they said that they wouldn’t do it. Not that they couldn’t — but that they wouldn’t.
If you do decide that you must use this doctor — call ahead (before taking time off and psyching yourself up for the procedure) and make sure they have all your documentation and it’s in good order.
Otherwise you too may re-​arrange your schedule, get yourself mentally prepared for a mammogram, only to be turned away and accused of being incompetent.

I’ve been going here for ten years. The main point is to have good radiologists, which they do. Both Doctors Jody Balich and Stuart London are excellent. What the building looks like, how easy the parking, or a smiling staff, are much less important to me. I also appreciate the low-​dose machines they have for mammograms. The staff have always been fine to me and I have never had an inordinate wait. With the mammos, the doctor comes out to discuss it with you, a real plus.

The look and feel of this place is not quite as eye catching as the Mercedes G500 and Range Rover Sport Trucks parked in the two car lot just outside the door on the right! The lobby is beige and quant and you’re greeted with what seems like an awkward hug by the experienced lab tech that happens to be very professional and well intended. I’ve always had a longer wait than what I would hope for after my scheduled appointment time; so make sure you have lots of change for the parking meter — even though I think there may be a hidden parking lot for patients, because I just don’t understand why my truck is the only one outside with so many patients awaiting attention — and a good book. All in all, they have change for your dollar bills, there’s an endless supply of water and a pair of dual-​sex restrooms for your convenience. A fair office — ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ on the front desk staff; my guess is that they’re college interns. Good luck.

MRI
My back was in rather bad shape via some car crashing and other such goodness. Came here for the MRI. I hoped in the machine, sat still as best I could. Not long after, I was done in the oven.
DIAGNOSIS
Thank HeyZuse! I had been to some chiroquacker and he said he had me all covered… NOT! Was diagnosed here and the diagnosis (fluid leaking out of disc, yum) must have been right on because the resulting procedures (shot in the back followed by mostly physical therapy /​yoga style physical therapy) had me all fixed up. On the rare occasion that I have an issue (doing some dumb lifting or such), then I do my physical therapy stuff for 30 min and I’m all good for the year.
STAFF
Were good to me. I was in and out smoothly and got exactly the info I needed to get better.
OVERALL
I’d say come here if you want a correct diagnosis and the right path to getting fixed up.

I have been there 3 times and didn’t experience the problems some of the others reported.

I highly recommend this office. I had a great time joking with the front desk ladies. They were all very professional and went out of their way to make sure that I was feeling comfortable. I was really scared to go in because I thought I had breast cancer but the techs and Dr. London helped calm me down. Dr. London gave me my results right away. Everyone was really friendly too.

Techs were acceptable. I have had MRIs elsewhere and they were much more friendly etc. esp since I get claustrophobia.
While I barely saw him for 1 min while half out of the machine and he did not have time to answer any questions, supposedly Dr London is good at reviewing MRI results.
However, another experienced radiologist reviewed the results and sent me to get a higher res MRI (one that would have to be done elsewhere) instead of repeated MRIs recommended by Dr. London.
Anyway, bottom line is that almost anyone on Unilocal is unlikely to be able to tell you how good a radiologist is at reading their results, which is more important than anything. I think the quality of equipment/​techs is not likely to vary significantly.
I would not rely on Unilocal for reviews of radiologists since my guess is few of us users are medical experts.
But it’s good to have a forum to give feedback to them!

Although the tech staff here are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and respectful, the same could not be said for the front office staff. They were ridiculously rude, offensive and inconsiderate. My most recent visit was sullied by yet another incident at the desk. Tthe elderly lady in front of me was at the front desk with a cast on her foot. She was unstable and noticeably distressed at the prolonged standing at the counter. When her caretaker asked if she could sit down while they completed her registration, the staff person barked at her «stand here until I finish the registration then she can sit down!!!» I was profoundly appauled. Who would say such a thing to an eighty year old? A heartless bunch.
As I mentioned the techs are non pareil, but dealing with the front personnel is a trauma that should be avoided. I’d have to say, stay away!!!
