Dear John,
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to read about your experience and the frustration this has caused you.
Travelling a long distance for an appointment, particularly after receiving confirmation, only to be told the scan could not be carried out is understandably extremely disappointing. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and distress this caused.
We are also concerned to hear that your promised refund has not yet been received. Once a refund has been agreed, it should be processed promptly, and we regret that this has not been your experience.
Please contact us directly at prerana.ramteke@chartwellprivatehospital.co.uk
with your booking details so we can urgently investigate the status of your refund and ensure this matter is resolved without any further delay.
Kind regards,
MRI Plus

This is a scam
This is a scam. I paid 300 for a mri and report because I was scared and didn't want to wait months, and they took advantage of my fear. They scanned the wrong part of my brain after reassuring me that they understood my request. They ignored all calls and emails, when I asked for the report I had paid for. I am weeks out, with no recourse to get my money back. There, to my knowledge, is no ombudsmen to report them to. Do not use them, they are immoral, they will not provide the service you pay for.

Dear Laura,
We are very sorry to read your comments and to hear how distressed and frustrated you feel about your experience.
We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously. We do not knowingly scan an incorrect anatomical area, and all examinations are performed according to the referral information provided and confirmed prior to the scan. However, if there has been any misunderstanding regarding the area scanned, we would urgently like to review your referral, images and report to fully understand what has happened.
We are also very concerned to hear that you feel your calls and emails have been ignored and that you have not received the report you paid for. This is not acceptable, and we would like to investigate this matter immediately.
Please contact us directly at prerana.ramteke@chartwellprivatehospital.co.uk

Good service provided by MRI Plus
Harry (Radiologist)- made me feel at ease and comfortable. He tailored my two-hour scan so I would not feel nervous or anxious. I have a severe claustrophobic condition. He was very professional with the delivery of the service so a big thank-you to Harry.
Tamimi Nabeela Receptionist /Administrator- from the first point of contact was very professional and reassuring with her knowledge of what type of service package would suite my specific needs as per my GP report request. Big thank-you to Tamini. The report was received within two days and spoke discussion with the doctor took place the following day.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
If you were advised that results would be available within two days, we completely understand how frustrating it must be not to have received them within that timeframe. Delays can occasionally occur, but this should always be communicated clearly.

A possible sarcoma?
My GP had mentioned that a lump on my neck should be investigated as a possible sarcoma. I mentioned this to the radiographer. Had my scan on a Friday and NEXT MORNING was sent the radiologist report which put my mind at rest

Unfortunately unclear and blurry images
We had an MRI done for my son, but two consultants told us that the images were unclear and blurry. However, my son followed a diagnosis based on the MRI report before realising that the images were not good. To ensure he was following the right treatment, we had to repeat the MRI with the NHS and another private imaging clinic, and the results were completely different. We had to spend a lot of money and time on a diagnosis based on blurry and unclear images before we discovered this. I have tried contacting MRI Plus several times by email to address the inconvenience caused by the inaccurate report, but they have not responded.

Dear Noreia,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to read about the distress and inconvenience this situation has caused you and your son.
Concerns regarding image quality and differences in clinical opinion are taken extremely seriously. While variations in interpretation can occasionally occur, it is clearly concerning to hear that you were advised the images were unclear and that subsequent scans produced different findings. We fully understand how worrying this must have been, particularly when treatment decisions were being made.
We are also sorry to hear that you feel your emails have not been responded to. That is not the standard of communication we aim to provide.
We would very much like the opportunity to review your son’s case in detail, including the images, report, and correspondence, to properly investigate what has happened. Please contact us directly at prerana.ramteke@chartwellprivatehospital.co.uk
with the relevant details so we can look into this matter thoroughly and respond appropriately.
Kind regards,
MRI Plus

Do not pay for any extras- YOU WILL NEVER GET IT. You will also not get call or email back or your money back (waiting since March!). I am gonna go for chargeback. Desperate people as myself go privat due falling NHS, spend their savings, than they get ripped off. Disgrace. I am not the only case- read below reviews before booking with them.

We strongly refute any suggestion that we intentionally withhold services or refunds. However, if you have been waiting since March for a response or resolution, that is clearly not acceptable and we sincerely apologise for the distress this has caused you.
We understand that many patients choose private imaging because they are worried and seeking reassurance, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. Your concerns about communication and any outstanding extras or refunds need to be reviewed urgently.

Highly recommend MRI PLUS
I recently had the pleasure of using the services of MRI PLUS in Hendon for a private MRI scan, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. The facility was clean, had parking and refreshments for guest. The entire process was smooth and efficient, with minimal wait times. The technicians were knowledgeable and took the time to explain each step of the procedure, ensuring I was comfortable.
What stood out most was the prompt delivery of results. Within a short period, I received a comprehensive report, which was easy to understand..
Overall, MRI PLUS provided an exceptional service that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a private MRI scan. Their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication to patient care are truly commendable. Thank you

MRIplus HENDON - DON’T pay upfront!!!!
MRIplus HENDON
NEVER have I been asked to pay in full before receiving a service. In the private health care service eg Spire / Bupa a card number is requested to hold the appointment. And Spire don’t take any payment if an Appointment is cancelled.
With MRIPlus the Open MRI did not have any adjustments on the bed to allow my mother back/neck to be comfortable & to lay flat - so the scan could not be carried out. NOW MRIus are saying they won’t refund the £549 paid!!!!!
My Mother is 90 and does not have this sort of money to throw around.
What sort money-making scam is MRIPlus operating?
A non refundable deposit is surely how a legit company operates, not like MRIPlus - They took money for a Service they never provided. They won’t be hearing the end of this!!!!

Dear Rosalind,
We are very sorry to read about your experience and the distress this situation has caused you and your mother.
We understand that being asked to pay in advance can feel unusual compared to some providers; however, our payment policy is clearly outlined at the time of booking. That said, if a scan could not be carried out due to positioning or comfort issues on the day, this should be reviewed carefully and handled fairly.
We are particularly concerned to hear that you feel a refund has been refused for a service that was not completed. This is something we would urgently like to investigate by reviewing the booking details, consent information and the circumstances on the day.

Hendon MRI plus
In my personal experience the service lacked professionalism and overall I was appalled. I was told the company had different owners since I last went to this facility, and that explains the drop in standard and poor communication skills.
I’ll be booking for another scan in the next few months, elsewhere, because I was less than impressed!

Very unhappy
Very unhappy. Booking and having the scan at Leigh on Sea was very good. The radiographers who did the scan were kind. After service is awful. I had the 7 working day package on Thursday 23/5and as the centre is open and scanning 7 days a week I expected my report the following Thursday 30/5. I called on Friday 31/5 only to be told the radiologist work 5 days - no mention of this was made to me verbally or on the website. I pointed this out - girl said she would chase. Today 4 June 12 days after my scans I called only to be told the report wasnt available and the girl said she would TRY to get it today. I am appalled at this service - I have asked for the management to call me so I can make an official complaint and get an explanation. BE AWARE of my experience if you are thinking of booking.
Well well that says it all about this company. IT HAS TAKEN THEM 21 MONTHS TO RESPOND TO MY REVIEW. Today is 26 FEBRUARY 2026 and this is the first contact I have had from them about my review dated 23 May 2024.

Dear Maria,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear how frustrated and disappointed you feel about the delay in receiving your report.
While we are pleased that your booking experience and scan at Leigh-on-Sea were positive, it is clear that the follow-up service has not met your expectations. If you selected a 7-working-day service, the timeframe and any limitations — including radiologist working days — should have been communicated clearly at the outset. We apologise if this was not made clear to you.
We also understand how upsetting it must be to have chased multiple times and still not have received your report within the expected timeframe. That is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We would like to urgently review your case and ensure your report is finalised and issued without any further delay, as well as arrange for management to contact you directly. Please email prerana.ramteke@chartwellprivatehospital.co.uk
with your details so we can prioritise this matter immediately.

I recently had an Open MRI Full Spine scan at MRI Plus, and I must tell you about the great experience that I have there. I must appreciate them for their excellent service & commitment i.r.t. patient comfort. Unlike traditional MRI machines, the open design of their scanner significantly reduced any feelings of claustrophobia or anxiety I had. The technologists were incredibly supportive throughout the process, ensuring I should felt at ease from start to finish. I appreciate the convenience and comfort provided by this service and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of spinal imaging.

Please avoid
Please avoid - I paid £350 which clearly said that you will receive 2 scan reports in 2working days.
I received 1st report after 2days and report was like 10year old wrote it - no sizes of lesions,no sizes of suspicious areas,etc
2nd report after chasing it -came after 7days,a bit better report,but again - no sizes of suspicious areas mentioned in reports,very unprofessional.
I asked my money back or full and detailed report- instead of answer they send you attachment with images.
I still want my money back or full and detailed report + I asked for complaints procedure- didn’t receive any answer yet.

Dear Ilze,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read how dissatisfied you are with both the reporting and the communication you have received.
If you paid for two reports within a two-working-day timeframe, we understand how frustrating it must have been to experience delays and to feel that the reports lacked sufficient clinical detail. Reports should be clear, professionally presented and clinically appropriate for the referral, and your concerns regarding the absence of measurements or specific descriptions are being taken seriously.
We are also concerned to hear that you have requested either a refund or a more detailed report, as well as information about the complaints procedure, and feel that you have not received a proper response. That is not acceptable and does not reflect the level of service we aim to provide.
We would like to urgently review your case, including the reports issued and the correspondence to date, so we can address this properly. Please contact us directly at prerana.ramteke@chartwellprivatehospital.co.uk

Highly Recommended - money well spent
Booked an MRI scan online at the Collindale clinic, next day appointments were available.
Staff at the clinic were friendly and informative, the scan itself was on the lumbar spinal region. The technician patiently explained everything to me beforehand, and the test itself lasted around 15-20 minutes, no where near as loud as I was expecting based on research I'd done. Before I left the clinic I received a DVD with all images.
Two days later I was emailed the radiographer's report. I highly recommend MRI Plus, for me it was money well spent, it allowed me understand the reasons for my lower back discomfort and think about the exercises I should/shouldn't be doing.
Thank you to everyone at MRI Plus.
