The Dedham staff is great, but it's been 10 days since my MRI, and no sign of a report. I called Shields and was told some centers are short staffed.

As I do when scheduling all my appointments, I always ask the scheduler on the phone to please ask if the technician, medical staff, etc. would be willing to wear a mask for my appointment and to please make a note of it on my appointment. They said yes to all. When I arrived for my very early appointment, I checked in and asked the receptionist to please confirm that the tech would wear a mask during my appointment. She checked and came back to tell me that the tech declined. I said that I'm undergoing chemo and I'm severely immunocompromised. She said he doesn't have to because of their facility policy, so he won't. I walked out as this would not be safe for me. Seeing that this is a medical establishment, this is totally outrageous that a health care provider would not do something as simple as wear a mask for 45 minutes in order to keep the patient safe. Before covid it wouldn't even have been an issue, but now, I have to go through all this hassle just to get a medical test completed safely. I called another facility and they said "of course, no problem at all!" Shame on Shields MRI for not protecting vulnerable patients' health and I encourage anyone with a problem with their immune system, or if you live with someone with a problem with their immune system, to steer clear of Shields. If that's their attitude, they are just awful. I would write directly to the owner/CEO Thomas Shields, but I cannot find any contact info for him online.

I've reached out multiple times in an attempt to have them correct it but keep getting the runaround. They've performed numerous unnecessary or incorrect labs as well. To make matters worse, even when you get abnormal test results, they don't bother reaching out to explain anything The irony is, when they want to milk you and insurance for $, they'll recommend all types of unnecessary follow ups and procedures/ surgeries for something that should not be a concern. I've yet to actually see my PCP; I've only been able to see the NP. The quality( or lack thereof) of care is appalling. And if that wasn't enough, they never have specialty appointments available. If it wasn't next to impossible to find a decent doctor taking new patients, I'd never return to this disaster of a place.

I went because it is located very close to my house, but that convenience was not worth it. They always made me wait a long time - even when I had appointments on days that should have been light, such as New Year's Eve. It's better to travel further for a place that is more efficiently run and keeps the appointment times that they give you. My negative experiences include: 1. A rude tone on the phone. Nobody enjoys this process and the people who answer the phone could at least take a professional tone if being nice is too much to ask. 2. Scheduling problems - I canceled an appointment when I transferred my care to another facility. The person who said she would take care of the cancelation never entered it in the system. I got automated reminder calls and a missed appointment message. The administration of this place is rock bottom and they will turn around and blame you for their incompetence with a "Did not keep appointment" mark against you. 3. I also had a less than ideal false positive experience here. I didn't get the sense that there was any incompetence on the part of the technicians or doctors but the interactions were impersonal and the explanations were not very thorough or satisfying. 4. The long wait times in a depressing environment. It does have a shabby feel and I waited forever with no updates. I politely checked that there wasn't an oversight and they hadn't forgotten about me. They didn't like that and there weren't any apologies for the wait - I think this is just how they normally run the place.

I explained my situation to the "head office person" as she called herself and I told her I wanted to wait until my new insurance kicked in because the extra stuff would go towards my deductible and I would have to pay out of pocket(couldn't afford it) After that, I proceeded to get three calls and a certified letter(HARASSMENT?) to have the extra stuff done. Went last week to get images put on a disk and yet again the receptionist was rude. The kicker is I took my images somewhere else (A place where I had gone to for 6 years) AND I DID NOT NEED THE DAIGNOSTIC IMAGES OR ULTRASOUND TO BEGIN WITH!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Oh by the way, the only reason I did not go to my regular mammogram center is because of an insurance change.
