| - I am, lately, as we jokingly like to say, slightly broken. I have received more MRI's than i would have liked to, certainly, in the past year, but since i had to, SMIL was the place to do it. I love this place, seriously - they make me smile!! Maybe it's just the location i go to - Tatum and Shea. But honestly, the staff there are WONDERFUL, every one of them, and they make me feel So Well Taken Care Of every single time i go there.
I hate IV's and have had some horrible experiences receiving them in hospitals, ER's, etc. I told the guy this the first time i went to SMIL and was told, "We'll take care of you." And they did, thoroughly, wonderfully, perfectly, and they all have ever since.
They take extra care with a wonky medical history, and you hear things like "we've already got the records of this diagnosis and this diagnosis in our records." Great, less for me to answer or remember! Along with everyone always being kind and just cool to the patient throughout the whole long process (let's face it, starving and dehydrating for hours before those can make us a little loopy, so extra niceness is always appreciated).
And the scans themselves are top-notch as far as i can tell and from what my specialists say, catching every little thing as well as the big stuff, [as compared to some shady place i went recently (Arcadia Radiology) where the results had a specialist looking askance and saying, "um, is this even a real radiology place?? Because - " ] They get the reports out FAST (and i mean like 24 hours fast), get them sent to the correct place, schedule things correctly and in a timely manner, call the patient fast if anything needs to be communicated. Very efficient.
Bottom line, no one wants to go have this stuff done, certainly not repeatedly. But if you have to and you have a choice, I recommend SMIL at Tatum and Shea. They make it as pleasant as it can ever possibly be, truly. :) They're AWESOME.
