I just wanted to say thank you to…

I just wanted to say thank you to Maninder at Medserena London for her time and patience and kindness yesterday when I had my MRI scan.
I suffer with claustrophobia and anxiety and Maninder made me feel very calm and at ease, she explained everything that was going to happen and how long for etc - which was very helpful to me and I was so pleased to be able to have the MRI which I have been unable to have in a tunnel MRI machine.
She had a lovely manner and was very kind.
Thank you Maninder for your understanding and kindness

All went very smoothly!

This was my 2nd time here and I was seen on time, and by a very lovely member of the team. She was understanding and mindful of the reason people are there, as a result of claustrophobia etc. Speaking to me during the scan and checking in. Everything was well explained.

All good and straight forward except I wasn’t offered a choice of program on the tv during the actual scan.
I become dizzy watching zooming in movement across a watery terrain - I wasn’t made aware that I could have watched something else.

The radiographer was amazing and she had an excellent duty of care when it came to me personally. She remembered everything about my case and if it was not for quick thinking and expertise I would have been in a wheelchair. And I have see her Maninder Kaur three times now and she has always given me Exceptional service

If you are being assessed for CCI GET A SECOND OPINION

My Medserena report said that my scans showed no evidence of CCI, which was a surprise as I had very severe symptoms.

I sent my images to a Neurosurgeon in Spain who specialises in CCI and they told me that my scans are consistent with CCI and AAI and that I have brainstem compression. They showed me on my scans how they'd come to this conclusion and its glaringly obvious when its pointed out. They also said (in passing) that the Medserena scans were of poor quality.
The lady that did my Medserena scans was nice, but seemed quite stressed. She didnt tell me to lean my head on the back of the seat so I was holding my head tilted back totally unsupported and it was too painful I had to press the emergency button, so those images were wasted which was heartbreakingas it was so painful. I had to grab my head with my hands and pull it to upright again as I'd lost all strength.
They didn't tell me until after my scan that the results can take up to 10 days. They didn't send the scans to me, only to my GP, even though I'd self referred. Then after asking for the scans after 10 days they just sent me the report, I had to ask again to finally have access to my images.

All the other staff were lovely, the place was clean and seemed professional. The service they provide is essential as I dont know of anywhere else in the UK that does this kind of scan, but I definitely recommend a second opinion for CCI, which is a shame after you've spent all that money.

Upright MRI

Upright MRI. Having arrived on time I was welcomed by Jane and her reception colleague. Was brought to waiting lounge and offered tea, coffee or water.
Within a few minutes I was with the very friendly MRI team. Completed the scan and reception had taxi waiting for me. No claustrophobia. Such a brilliant service.

Very clean , staff friendly

Very clean, staff friendly. This was my second visit for a scan on just a different part of the body. The only difference being was that on the previous occasion I recall the lady speaking to me every so often to reassure me ie That I was doing well and I was half way through (even though it’s an open Mri I suppose I’m just a nervous person). Maybe because I’d been before they just assumed I was ok. All in all though it’s better than the enclosed scan that I am terrified of !
