Everyone was kind, professional and patient The 45 minute drive was worth it!
When I scheduled my appointment, I told them that I am claustrophobic and confirmed that their MRI machine was an opened one. My doctor also prescribed me Valium for this anxiety. I do not drink or smoke so I had my mother drive me because of possible side effects from taking Valium for the first time in my life.
The MRI was EXTREMELY LOUD the entire time!
They let me wear earplugs, a headset and an eye mask. They cranked up the music for me too. I HIGHLY recommend wearing an eye mask!
Again, the MRI was EXTREMELY LOUD!
The techs were kind and spoke to me during the process (asked me if I was good, volume of the music, time remaining, etc)
The MRI center in Auburn Hills was fantastic!
ps: Valium did nothing for me, lol. My anxiety was super high or the dosage was too low or it was the combination of both because I did not feel any different taking it. (Before, during or after the MRI) read more
