SCHEDULING: I got a same-day appointment here, which is really great. I was going to have to wait a…read morewhole 'nother week to get an ultrasound somewhere else. Evidently, they take walk ins for x-rays, but you need an appointment for other imaging like ultrasounds and mammograms. APPEARANCES: Both the office and the staff look professional and well kept. I thought it was a little strange that the only magazines they have are Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine, and other sports publications. The TV was playing a poker tournament, so maybe they cater to a specific crowd? Anyhow, I definitely noticed all the sports stuff. POLICIES: They don't allow you to take any pictures or videos inside the office, which I think means they don't want you to take pictures of your own x-rays or ultrasounds. But maybe there is some other reason... The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way, was that the ultrasound technician wouldn't let me watch what she was doing on the screen. I asked if I could see, and she said there was not really anything to see... I interpreted that as her assuming I wouldn't know what I was looking at, so she didn't want to take the time to tilt the screen in my direction. Guess what, though? They're my guts and if I want to see them, humor me dadgummit! At the end, when I asked her if I could look at the images, she said the radiologist had to look at them first, and she couldn't review anything with a patient. It seems pretty ridiculous to me not to let a patient watch their own ultrasound on the screen and then not let them look at the images at the end either. I don't know if that was her own personal policy or one that the office holds to. TOTAL TIME: I walked in at 3:20 p.m. and walk out at 3:34 p.m. Very quick turnaround! OVERALL: I would come here again if I needed x-rays or other imaging. Next time however, I think I'll be more assertive asking to see my images. But overall it was a quick and painless experience.

I arrived and was prepped and walked into the room and it was not an Open MRI. Even to examine the hip they put the entire body in the tube within inches of the the tube. I would not call myself claustrophobic, but this type of MRI causes that feeling for me. They suggested getting a new RX for an MRI while sedated. I don't like the extra risk for sedation when there are actual Open MRI systems nearby.

Dealing with Charter Radiology over the past two months has been a nightmare. I do want to shoutout…read moreKJ from the billing department and the front desk ladies at the Columbia location. One of the front desk workers (a male whose name I'm not sure of) called me on the way to one of my appointments and told me I owed Charter about $800 more than what I had already paid as a copay, which I paid the previous day, January 30th. I wouldn't be able to get my procedure done without paying. I'm aware of my insurance coverage and told him that I thought this was incorrect. He began to talk over me. I needed the MRI done, so I paid the money when I arrived and asked for an itemized receipt. He told me he couldn't give me one and that everything would show up on my patient portal. It did not. When I followed up with my insurance company, they shared that Charter Radiology incorrectly billed them for my MRI services and did not provide information on how much the actual services were on the claim. I knew I overpaid Charter Radiology and contacted them to resolve the issue. They resubmitted my claim and still held over $800 of my money. KJ in the billing department was really helpful in moving this issue forward but this morning I saw that the pending transaction from Charter Radiology to my credit card was cancelled on their end and they still owe me $821.81. I tried to be patient and resolve this issue privately, but customers need to know that this company is dishonest, has a staff member who bills incorrectly at the Columbia location, promises a refund and then rescinds it. This issue has been ongoing from January 31st. It is now March 20th. When will my $821.81 be returned to me?

I'm so glad that I have went with another group and can use their radiology. Not once, but three…read moretimes now I have been overcharged, getting a check back from them. The one about three years ago I got was sizable. I got a check in the mail today that the service was performed 4/29/24 and I just got it in the mail today which is the 28th of May 2025. Totally unacceptable. This comes from our HSA and apparently Advanced is so money hungry that they have to have it right then! Why not reverse the amount to the member's card or put a hold on it until it's paid....no, they don't do that. My daughter in law has had the same experience as I did coming off the card and her insurance paid for it totally. She too was hacked over this. Oh well, it works just fine now because the new group actually sends a bill and I pay it as soon as I get it. As for my care, experiences have always been somewhere between great and meh....a lot more of meh though. I've had a number mammographies that I thought they were going to kill me....and just when you thought they got what they were looking for, they call you back for a rescreen. Haven't had that so far with my new place. Time will tell...I just know that they have been much more caring than the majority of techs I've had at Advanced.

I was very thankful for him not just recommending the first available appointment. The paperwork online was also very easy to upload and streamlined the check in process. When I got there for my appointment, they checked me in and I waited all of 5 minutes. Once being scanned, the techs were very friendly, professional, and made it feel like nap time for a tired mom. The only negative which I don't consider a true negative, was it was my techs first day on the job so there was a supervisor teaching her and it took longer than what I think a normal appointment would be. But better to train techs right than to not teach them and have bad service?
