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?

Professional medical imaging, welcoming staff. Clean facilities. Easy parking…read more I needed some non-invasive specialized medical imaging, and it was easiest to stay within the Johns Hopkins network. This office was easy to find, behind another building off Little Patuxent in Columbia MD. There was parking right out front. I arrived a little early, (Jun 2026), hoping to get to another appointment immediately afterwards, and they were able to accommodate me. The staff was professional. I felt well informed and well cared for. Results were provided within a couple of hours! That's very nice.

The front desk staff was very helpful in dealing with the insurance company, and contacting my doctor's office to get them to amend their order so that the insurance approval would go through ASAP. I feel bad for not remembering the name of the staff member who handled this for me because she really helpful during an extremely stressful day for me.

This is my first time writing a bad review, ever. I do not believe in bad reviews because I…read moreunderstand life is tough and we are all only human, especially since I work in healthcare. However, I am beyond frustrated with this radiology office. I am a healthy, young adult who previous tore an ACL. I was referred to this office from Dr. Packer right across the suite. When I walked across the hall to schedule my MRI, I told the woman at the front desk I did not want the procedure if I had to pay out of pocket as it was not an urgent case and funds are short for me, currently. She reached out to billing and got back to me a couple days later that I would not be charged anything for the appointment. Next thing I know, a $316.00 bill came in the mail for the appointment. After several phone calls to the office, billing department, and eventually my insurance company, it was found the charge came from a $300 deductible and a coinsurance payment. The office has written documentation claiming they told me I would owe nothing. There is also written documentation from billing that mentions the deductible, yet still states I owe nothing. A clear error was made on this office's part (for which the manager even claimed "it was our fault"), yet the manager says she cannot write off the charge and I am still responsible for the $316.00 burden. Like I mentioned, I WOULD NOT have went through with the procedure if I had to pay even just $50 let alone $300. I cannot believe that even with written documentation stating I owe nothing, I am still required to pay this bill. Do yourself a favor and find a diagnostic imaging center with a staff that treats their patients with integrity, or at least a competent billing department that can understand insurance policies. There are plenty of other offices in the area. Side note: I will say, the patient care I received here was excellent, but I'm sure one can find plenty of other kind people to place them in a diagnostic imaging machine and press a few buttons elsewhere.

First and foremost, I have never had to wait. There aren't 10 or 11 people with the same appointment time as me. I check in, get my MRI, and I am gone. The staff is very friendly, have a great sense of humor, and they have a welcoming environment. I wish they were a doctor's office, because they have the concept of not keeping the patient waiting down to a science. The facility is clean and they always have Brock's candy in the candy dish...just an added bonus...LOL. So if you are in the need of an MRI...go here, I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Ease of appointment center, though, needs to be thru individual location not one stop. One stop people don't know equipment. For example.

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?

Dr. Lang appeared to me as thoughtful and laid back at the same time. When she entered the room, it felt like my best friend/neighbor had just walked in. I felt her energy and empathy and professionalism all at once! She did not rush me and patiently listened to me. She got all my info from recent tests I had done and shocked me with the results that were not told to me by previous Dr. I read ALL of the reviews and suspect a bit of snobbery with a hint of deception. I will highly recommend Dr. Linda Lang to all I meet who are searching for a compassionate and learned Doctor.

NOT PROPERLY TRAINED NOR EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO ACCURATELY INTERPRET…read moreDEFOCOGRAPHY MRI THEY HAVE THE BEST MRI MACHINE IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, the best image quality ive ever seen in my life with highly capable techs to operate it and conduct dynamic defocography but they truly do not have the expertise, training and experience to be interpreting dynamic defocography properly. My report reads more like a prefabricated radiology template rather than a comprehensive tailored assessment. She only used 1 dimensional measurement for my report, wnd i am a human with a 3 dimensional pelvis so her report is extremely amateur, inaccurate, and not acceptable standard of Healthcare. Interprting dynamic defocograohy is a highly specialized skill that requires alot of experience and alot of training and dr uppal is not experienced or qualified enough to be interpreting dynamic defocography. She messed up my report really bad and im dying now because of it. Im going to die because of charter radiology. I love the images they gave me but they're useless when you don't report the findings properly or even interpret the study like an actual expert would. ​ Avoid charter radiology at all costs, they're all about money and not about patient safety. Their poor 1 dimensional interpretations of my defocography have delayed my diagnosis by over 2 years and its unlikely I will survive because im still fighting to get my dynamic imaging studys properly read, and diagnosed so I can get lifesaving surgery. Dr uppal is not a good person. Avoid her business at all costs. She does not uphold an acceptable standard of Healthcare and is a disgrace to this state. Avoid charter radiology, im not kidding. If you want to end up permanently aged or dead from misdiagnosis/malpractice, sure go to charter radiology. Their high quality images aren't worth the misdiagnosis hell they out you through. These high quality images are not worth dying over and i deeply regret choosing charter radiology because of exceptional mri machine. Exceptional equipment is meaningless when you lack expertise and ethical practices​ Ill attach my beautiful crazy deadly mri pictures to this review very soon so you can see how bad this radiologist is. Dr uppal is very bad person..I respectfully asked for help many times, requested her help using request form and she never contacted me back and avoided responding to any of my concerns with my poor quality radiology reports. This woman is very evil, dark and scary. Dr uppal is Greedy, selfish, cowardly, ​and deadly. Dr uppal is a dangerous person, stay away from her

DO NOT GO TO THIS FACILITY!!!!!!…read more I wish I didn't have to give them one star ! Although the front desk staff treated us with the utmost respect and professionalism, I cannot say the same about the MRI tech and even the CEO that contacted me after my inquiry. Poor customer service. Rude MRI Tech. And an even more rude "CEO". I sent an inquiry to be contacted due to the unprofessional service my minor daughter received for her FIRST MRI. Very respectful and wanted to let the company know my concerns. The MRI tech was very rude to the assistant that walked myself and my daughter to the dressing room. He was very short with me when asking him about masks and earbuds for my very nervous daughter. This was the response from the CEO. Sent at 5:52 pm "I am deeply sorry to hear your remarks. Nasir has been a technologist for 30 years and is an outstanding technologist . You need to value his expertise . Sometimes shop talk should not be heard by patients . We scan patients with braces routinely . I am sorry your feelings were hurt .I also do not consider this unprofessional .These are difficult times for health care workers and you should be grateful for the outstanding care . You may use the other imaging centers or another facility if you are not happy with our services." Kind regards , Dr Daisy Uppal Sent at 6:08 pm One more thing we can find a technologist who maybe superficially sweet they are available all over but someone who can operate the BEST MRI in the country and has a professional demeanor like Nasir Zirvi is impossible to find . You can go to another imaging center but their images do not match ours . Again I am sorry you were disappointed I am also in healthcare. And we are all going through a pandemic. I am sickened by this response. Completely shocked that this is allowed, "in healthcare".
