I did have a bit of trouble finding the right person to speak to on the phone. I'll say that the two women women working at the receptionist desk during my visit were extremely nice. Setting an appointment was a breeze, and CRA provides an option to complete all of your paperwork online before your visit. Checking in was also a breeze. Although I arrived about 20 minutes before my check in time (just as a just in case since I was a 1st time patient), they let me start my MRI a bit early, which was great. Just like the women at reception, the MRI team were super nice too. The facilities were quite clean and looked maintained. However, I was a little concerned that the warm water in the restroom was white even after running the water for a couple of minutes. CRA/medical park has a decent number of free parking spaces, which is becoming more rare these days, so that's one less thing to worry about. Actually, the parking situation is why I arrived earlier than my check in time, because it seems impossible to find free parking in this area. Fortunately, you will not have that problem at CRA.

This is my second visit to Community Radiology and unfortunately my last…read more A couple of weeks ago, I came here with my daughter and experienced the same issues. Once again, we were told to arrive early for check-in, which we did--only to wait 45 minutes to over an hour past our scheduled appointment time. It took 30 minutes just to be checked in, and once we were finally called back to another area, we waited there for an extended period as well. To make matters worse, the test being performed required a full bladder prior to the appointment. By the time the test actually started, we had been waiting nearly two hours while holding a full bladder, which is extremely uncomfortable and completely unacceptable. If you know your facility is understaffed or running behind, patients should be notified in advance. There is no respect for people's time here, especially for children and for procedures that require specific physical preparation. I will never return to this location. I will continue to support American Radiology in Columbia, MD, where wait times are reasonable and, more importantly, patients are called ahead of time to reschedule if staffing issues arise. That is what real customer service and patient-centered care looks like

The scheduler says some schedulers automatically you need one because UHC is so difficult to work with.

White Oak is bigger and the waiting room was full of people.
