X-Ray 505

Worst service ever! Lady at the reception is a poser and is used to lying about wait time. X-​ray technician is also posing like he is busy and ignores people when they talk to him
I’ll take my pain somewhere else thank you very much

Good service. Only had to wait 15 minutes for my x-​ray, even in the middle of the afternoon when I thought it would be really busy and it’s first come, first served. I wasn’t thrilled about the tiny dressing room and having to remove all of my clothes for a hip x-​ray; I thought that was a little excessive, especially since my clothes were all cotton with no metal on them. And they then had me put on… a cotton gown! You do realise that x-​rays go through cotton, whether it’s cotton owned by me or you, right?

The doctors, Linda Warren, etc… are GREAT, caring, empathetic, skilled. Had an aspiration procedure, painless.
The admin staff??? lazy, disorganized individuals people I’ve ever met in my life: book wrong procedure, paperwork lost, not sure if patients are there or not… the entire useless lot should be fired!
The X-​ray technicians… meh. One asked me to wait while my x-​rays were checked. Over an hour and a half later, still waiting. Then, I go to ask. the x-​rays were fine, I was done but, guess what? X-​Ray tech went for LUNCH, forgetting that I was waiting there!!!
Parking? Forget about it.

So forgive me, I’m a little irked.
I fell on my wrist on Saturday and went to a walk-​in GP — who didn’t do much except for say «Call your family doctor and Monday, and she’ll send you for an x-​ray» Okayyyyy… Monday rolls around and despite icing it, my hand/​wrist had bruised. Luckily my doctor could see me.
She sent me for an x-​ray and said «505 is great!». Well, if you know the area, you’ll know it’s a busy, medical office are, with expensive limited parking. So I drive over, and since I didn’t know the wait, forked over $ 5+ for 2 hours of parking at a meter. Went up to 505 — low and behold, the x-​ray was broken. They were currently fixing it. Sigh.
Here is where my problem was: I asked the receptionist how long — to which she said she did not know. I then asked where else I could go for an x-​ray. She just passed me off a list without responding.
I looked at the list and tried to see the one closest — but since they were just addresses, I got confused since I don’t necessarily know which way it what. I pulled out my iphone and marked a few down, noting one was near my family doctors office. So I went there. Luckily I found free parking this time. Went in, went upstairs, gave my sheet. She said to me «Oh, it says you need urgent reading, we can’t do that here» I just gaped at her. Sigh. She was very helpful and called one that does urgent readings and then circled it and gave me the address with directions. Guess what? It was literally less than ½ block from 505.
If the first receptionist would have taken a few moments to look over my referral, say, «oh, I see you are urgent. Here’s the locations that have this service» and then tell me that it was right downstairs, I found have found this extremely helpful and wouldn’t have felt like an object.
$ 5.00+ more for more parking, went in, got served right away. Very helpful clinic. Laurel Radiology — 106 – 808 W 8^th Ave.
