Stand-Up Mri of Deer Park

Ok, all you peeps out there you cannot do an MRI! This is the best folks like us are going to get. My old facility (now closed) which had an «open» MRI had to give me major drugs just to get me to lie down on the table. That one was open in the sense that it wasn’t a tube. This facility on East 77^th Street has you sitting. There is nothing in front of your face (essential for my mental health). I had a moment of anxiety when the seat moved backwards, but was able to deal with it. The noise is annoying, but that is the only impediment. Luckily, I only had to be there 35 minutes for my wrist. I watched the tv more than listened. The staff was great and the office arranges to pick you up and bring you home from the facility. I will probably go back for the second wrist without major trepidation!

MRI spot of champions and claustrophobics alike – i.e. me! Staff was super friendly, hours of operation are amazing (they have appointments until 10p on most weeknights, and they’re open Saturday and Sunday as well), and the MRI rooms have TVs in them for your viewing pleasure whilst you’re being scanned. While I hope I’m not in need of an MRI again for a very very long time, this spot was solid.
