I went to day for my third U/S for anatomy measurement for my baby. The minute we entered the place the manager/owner of the radiology asked us for the U/S request. My husband was explaining to her that we need the report to be sent to two doctors, she rudely interrupted him saying "let me write it the information". Once we were done with checking in she called my name and toke me to the ultrasound room, we though like a previous time, my husband will accompany me, however, the manager again in a rude way she told my husband " I will take you later" and she rolled her eyes. No explanation was provided to us, that this scan will be different or that after the anatomy measurement my husband can join me to see the baby and hear the heart beat.
I went inside and was given a small towel to cover myself. Then the technician came inside, and I asked politely if my husband can join me? she said I do not know. I was upset thinking that I have the right to have my husband with me during this scan, we are looking forward to seeing our baby and hearing her/his heart beats. I told the technician that the manager told me that my husband will be joining me later, all what she said " I don't know, I am not sure". I told her clearly that I want my husband to be with me.
While she was doing the scan the manager brought my husband to the room. My husband was being nice and friendly asked the technician how is she. Later my husband commented that the room is bigger than the previous room were we did our second scan, the technician said "shhhhh" I looked at her feeling miserable and frustrated. In the next room we can hear another technician having a friendly chat with a client, trying to comfort her and telling her not to worry. Listening to that converstion I was think why I did not get a nice technician who knows the excitement of being a first time parents. Once the technician completed her measurement, pointed to my husband to come around to see the baby. She started showing us briefly different parts of our baby. My husband asked for gender she said I cannot tell you, the doctor will inform you about that. Then, she said to my husband "don't lean on the desk behind you". That was the tipping point for me, I got up from the scanning table, and told her that I never had a horrible service like this, and that she is rude and disrespectful. My husband explained to her that we came to this place, because of a great service we received before, but it seems to be not the case this time. We went out side, I was in tears that my scan experience and seeing my baby was not great and that these people treated us badly. I wanted to leave, but my husband kept telling me no we will speak to the manager... I new it is waste of time. The manager spoke to us and started explaining that the technician needs quite to do her measures, when I told her she can ask us to be quite like an adults, she did not care about that or even apologize about the unprofessional behaviors of the technician. She started telling us that she will talk to us as long as our conversation is civilized, and she cut the talk short saying that I will arrange another scan for you. I refused to do it... All what I wanted for her to acknowledge our feelings and understand our frustration and apologize for the unprofessional service we received from them. I left the place crying and telling my husband that I was counting the days to see my baby, but this place ruined it.
I do not recommend this place, for the bad service we received, for being treated like less than human. The manager and the technician needs to take course on customer service. read more
