I dont know their schedule but 2 of our Doctors prefer the results from Sand Lake Imaging on 466.
We have always used the recommendation of our Doctors.

Is Sand Lake Imaging still in business or has Rayus replaced it?

2+ weeks and some of these off locations won't do patients with pacemakers.

Waiting forever, new Mammo
Tech being trained by another and needing lots of instruction. Sonogram results inadequate/unusable just showing gray shadow. Doctor comes in says inconclusive and recommends a future Mammo with dye. I asked for
Him to feel small pea like lump and he insisted just hard scar tissue but did not feel correct site. Have to start all over in Tampa.
Lake Imaging used to be the go
To place. Not sure any more. Also noticed more negative reviews which did not exist before.

your story is the exact same as many i've heard, they will not call you. get this--when i made repaeted calls as to whether i could get their MRI, they told me they were out of the solutions & inks (?) to perform the procedure, & i needed to wait until the new supply came in.

those machines need to be serviced & callibrated regulary to get optimum performance. ask when the last time it was done, & if you get a puzzzled face from the nurse/tech, you have your answer

I’m having the same issue. Called Rayus this morning and their earliest appointment for a non-contrast MRI of lower back was March 9th. Essentially the same as Lake

I am the OP. The other day I was given an appointment for next Monday for MRI at Rayus. I asked to be put on wait list and this morning I received a call for MRI today at 4pm!

My order was Stat, but Lake Imaging had me scheduled for March 8.

I would highly recommend Rayus Imaging.

Thanks for replying to this post.

Hard to believe they can be so incompetent and careless to not keep track of supplies needed for MRI. They will lose an incredible amount of business as a result of not being able to do MRI's.
