I was referred to Simon Med Imaging in Beverly Hills. I must say I was treated very nice by the staff. I had an open MRI imaging where I was sitting up and it was wonderful compared to lying down in a tube in an MRI machine. It was open, I would see the ceiling, in front of me and in fact they played a video for me while it was being done. I would recommend this type of MRI if you can not stand lying down in a machine tube. If you do go to this location, the parking structure is located on the side of the building on S. Gale Ave. And be aware that it is a rather small parking structure. However, the service of the office offset the parking. read more

Stand-Up MRI of Beverly Hills: 2 Stars Simon-Med Imaging: ZERO Stars. I'm giving Stand-Up MRI of Beverly Hills (8370 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90211) mediocre praise; the location itself is only somewhat recommended. This location has unique sit-down "open" MRI equipment. The patient is seated, and the walls are moved in toward the arms. The top and front are open. They used to offer hundreds of movies on a large-screen monitor, which made the time pass quickly (the DVD player is evidently broken as of July 2026, or the technician didn't feel like turning it on). The front desk staff is considerate and professional. Some of the technicians are compassionate and appreciated (some are not). This imaging location is owned by Simon-Med, which is the worst company to deal with, ever. Simon-Med owns over 170 imaging locations in 10 different states across the US. Even though patients complain constantly, Simon-Med doesn't listen to patients and opts to eliminate patients' ability to contact the actual imaging location, offering only a centralized call center for billing, scheduling (and all other inquiries), which is a terribly frustrating experience. The agents refuse to provide a phone number, FAX, or email address for the location (all phone numbers will be rerouted to the centralized call center if obtained by Simon-Med call center personnel). The call center agents are undertrained, and many seem clueless about MRIs or other imaging procedures (or scheduling or billing for that matter). The agents are unable to accurately predict how long an MRI will take and can't answer basic questions about how certain imaging equipment differs from other equipment (at various Simon-Med locations). The call center phone agents don't have any idea about the daily operations and scheduling for a specific location and frequently make major mistakes (wrong appointment times, dates, addresses, hours of operation, etc.). The centralized call-center agents will tell patients there are no appointments at a location for weeks (even over 1 1/2 months away). They will say it is impossible to schedule two or three MRI's back to back, that the patient must return on different dates for each MRI, that certain MRI's are done on certain days (example: a lower lumbar MRI cannot be scheduled on the same day as a knee MRI, etc.) All of the above is UNTRUE information. I don't know where the phone support agents were trained (or if they were trained), but I haven't spoken to one who was qualified to do their job. Many appear to be making stuff up as they go along. I'm not exaggerating one iota when I say that I spent at least 6-7 hours over the three weeks prior to my appointment, in an attempt to schedule three MRI's, and ask technical questions about how my body/limbs will be placed for the MRI's (in that I'm in excrutiating pain, I wanted to be sure that I wouldnt be expected to stand during the knee MRI's). Naturally, the call center agents were unable to answer any questions. And naturally, they would not allow me to contact the location. The ONLY way to avoid the hassle of the Simon-Med call center is to visit the location yourself and speak directly with the front desk about making an appointment and inquiries. This approach will help patients feel more in control and better able to handle the various aspects of the MRI experience. Visiting the front desk at Stand-Up MRI of Beverly Hills may be helpful for questions about insurance, scheduling, the final report, or anything else. Make sure to get a working phone number and email address for the staff at that location (if possible) so you can connect with them directly (and you won't be stuck dealing with the centralized call center). Trust me --you do NOT want to suffer through long-winded conversations (that go nowhere, slow) with random call-center agents who don't know anything about MRIs. Simon-Med has made the relatively simple, straightforward process of scheduling an appointment and submitting insurance information for an MRI a complicated and brutally frustrating experience. It is RIDICULOUS for Simon-Med to disallow patients access to the location where they are about to have an MRI! It's just nuts! I previously recommended Stand-Up MRI of Beverly Hills (before it was bought out by Simon-Med), but Simon-Med's centralized call center is terrible in every way. Years ago, this location seemed clean and well-maintained (and the staff were top-notch), but my recent MRI's revealed that it is completely rundown and has the appearance of a county facility (unclean, 15-year-old rumpled and discolored posters on the walls, the waiting room chairs are ripped and torn, non-working light fixtures (missing light bulbs), non-functional wheelchairs, piled pillows in the MRI room, etc. etc. Simon-Med obviously has the lowest of standards and (presumably) pays the lowest wages in town. It's a shame. read more

SimonMed Imaging - Beverly Hills - 8370 Wilshire Blvd. x Gale | Stand-Up MRI of Beverly Hills - Diagnostic Imaging Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

They called to tell me their machine broke down on my way there. It was challenging to get a note for my employer for evidence that I had an appointment. Whether There is no direct line. Their phone operators are "offshore" and getting them to understand is a major headache. Every time I say something they summarize what I say put me on hold, then come back asking me for additional information. This whole experience is a nightmare already. read more

Wasted 3 hours, MRI canceled after I arrived. Unprofessional service. Never again.!!!

Lenora called and cancelled the morning of the appointment saying their open MRI machine was down. This is after 12 calls and emails from them confirming the appointment the day before and even this morning. She then said it would be a month to get another appointment. This is after I waited a month for an appointment after the closed MRI was so small it was claustrophobic. The woman who called this morning, Lenora, hung up on me with, "have a nice day," when I wanted to speak to a supervisor. A new appointment for half the MRIs came in a half hour later without even asking me if the date worked. When I called the call center located in Arizona, or overseas, who knows, I got a woman who had me on hold an hour. Still only half the MRIs are rescheduled. She told me there were no openings at all, did not know what she was doing. Hours of repeating your name and address and pertinent information. Worst service ever. Untrained call center staff. Go elsewhere if you can. read more

Just so you're aware, this place is very unorganized. I was scheduled for an MRI, but for no reason my appointment was canceled without any notification. I showed up on time and was told it had been canceled, and they couldn't even explain why. There was no effort made to look into what happened--they simply asked me to reschedule for another day. read more

They canceled my appt twice because their CT tech was sick. Once was 5 minutes before my appointment. read more

This is the 3rd time that they have cancelled my MRI. This time they called me to tell "I'm calling because you don't have an appointment". So, if I really didn't just spend 2 hours on the phone with them last week scheduling, then why are you calling me??? She then lies and says a seated MRI cannot do soft tissue scans. They then tell me that they want me to do a T3 MRI, which is twice the cost (deductible PPO) out of pocket. My insurance or doctor IS NOT requiring this. WTF is wrong with these scammers?!? read more

I had a fantastic experience doing my MRI. Laura welcomed me with professionalism. Eric was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this facility, very pleased with the service read more

Both times I've been to this location, I have waited at least 30 minutes for my appt. They even tell you to arrive 15 min early (which I do bc I'm a responsible adult) and then make you wait. Communication is important. If you're running behind, you can call the patient/customer and let them know so they can make their times and routes accordingly. The first time I arrived at 545am for a 6am appt and didn't get in the room until almost 6:30am and today I arrived at 11:45 for my 12pm and they are just starting the person before me and it's going to be about 30 min wait again. If I was to show up 30 minutes late, imagine how that would work out? No call. No message. Just showed up and expected my appt. It's very unprofessional on their behalf. If it wasn't for my attorneys request to come back here, I would NEVER. Period. read more

If there was a -100 that would be my review. Does that say enough??!! THE WORST and in the medical field no less. Wasted time by untrained, inept people. No management....dirty & disrespectful- waste of time!!!! HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE!!!! LIVID!!!! Take my advice and go elsewhere read more

Make sure to verify your benefits before you go because they'll spring a bill on you without any notice. I received multiple confirmations but was never told the amount I'd have to pay. I called the following day to pay my bill but was told it wasn't ready and then get a call from the facility who act like I'm dodging them. There are better upright facilities in LA- avoid this one. read more

I had a confirmed MRI appointment at SimonMed, backed by a confirmation email with the exact date and time. When I arrived, I was told my appointment "didn't exist." Despite showing proof of the confirmation, the front desk clerk--a Hispanic woman with blonde highlights--was incredibly rude and dismissive toward both me and my mother. She flat-out refused to help or even look at the email I showed her. Her attitude was completely unprofessional, and instead of assisting us or offering a solution, she was disrespectful and condescending. Healthcare providers should be empathetic and helpful, especially when patients are already dealing with medical concerns. Sadly, that was not the case here. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this location to anyone. The way we were treated was unacceptable. read more

I made an inquiry to this business regarding an imaging appointment and had discussions with three different personnel members. However, I was dismayed by the rude and unprofessional demeanor displayed by each of them over the phone. As a direct result of this experience, I have elected to pursue services from a different imaging center, where I expect to be treated with courtesy and respect. I am disinclined to support a business that seemingly fails to provide adequate training to its staff. If I could give Zero stars here I would! read more

Amazing Experience! This was my first time doing an MRI and it was better than I expected. The staff was professional and so kind that they made the whole experience stress free. I came all the way from Rialto and you can best believe that they made the 1 hour and 30 min drive worth it! Highly recommend read more

This business is called "Stand Up MRI". I went there and you could not stand up for an MRI, you had to sit down. My back issue occurs when I stand up. I waited a month for an appointment, then the staff unapologetically said "We can't do stand up MRIs...". Plus, the appearance of the office was very bad, with tattered furniture. read more

I loved the fact I didn't have to be in a tube and able to sit up for my MRI. The tech was friendly. However, my doctor said the images were terrible and whoever reviewed them and wrote my report was wrong. They claimed I had a 60% tear in my shoulder, but my doctor couldn't find it based off images received. I'm not sure if it was because it was an old machine or why, but disappointed as it took me a long time to get an appt and it was far from my house. read more

Laura at Simomed chose to not honor my apartment because they were running late. She was totally indifferent and had an incredible pointed tone with me. Then she got mad because I called them on their lies. Simon Med imaging changed my appointment 2 times. They said wanted me to come in earlier on Friday. I said, "I'm coming from the chiropractor and there will be a lot of traffic. I'm sure I can't sure I can be there at exactly 5:30, is that okay". She said it was fine. When I arrived Laura said they were running late and didnt want to honor my appointment because its was late FRI. The reason i changed the appointment is because I figured they wanted to get out earaly - i wanted to do them a favor. I did tell Laura what i explained ro the scheduler that I was coming from my chiropractor and told then about traffic and they said it was okay. Then Laura said, we'll you can't brings dogs in here. Which is fine - but I brought my dog twice before. I told Laura that the guy who did my MRI said it was ok. And I have pictures to prove it. There was even some guy who wanted a picture of my dog, i have his number and can prove no said anything to me. The Old MRI comes over and said I heard everything - you can't bring a dog in here. I said I remember you let me. He vehemently disagreed - so I said I have a video and pictures my phone was on So he knew he was lying then said, "Well you can't be taking pictures in here." I did in front of you! Then Laura says, "Well your late and where behind so I can't see you unless you wanna wait t1 hour and 45 minutes." I said, "This is crazy you just don't want , I'm not that late." So another secretary said, "Well it says you on the wall that you can't take pictures in here." I have a problem seeing long distances. I lost my glasses in the car accident - THATS WHY I DESPERATELY NEEDED AN MRI. I said I can't believe you are doing this. So I can't get my MRI? What the hell? Then Laura said, "Dont raise your voice get out!" It was like theater of the obserd. read more

I am claustrophobic so even this MRI was tough for me but with the caring personality of the lady Keyri who was performing it, it was done successfully . I appreciate staff like her. read more

This was the best experience I've ever had with an MRI. Not only was the machine not claustrophobic to me, but the lady performing the MRI was fantastic and very comforting. If ever I need another MRI performed, this is where I want to be. Thank you. read more

5 stars given ONLY for the late night staff. Had a 7:00pm appointment. Drove 2 hours and couldn't find parking anywhere. The front desk staff, Ligia, literally walked outside the building to guide us to a special parking area. She was kind and unlike most medical front staff whom seem to have attitude for no reason. She even help us with our insurance and called management because our insurance was overcharging us and she knew there was an issue. She could have easily just made it difficult and demanded payment without question, but she clearly cares about the customers who are there because they have a serious medical issue they are trying to figure out.. The MRI tech was a nice gentleman who explained the process as well to my nervous and claustrophobic husband. Ligia needs a raise! read more

Patient staff because I had some anxiety but being able to sit upright and watch a movie was so much more comfortable.

Not shocked to see so many bad reviews. Avoid this place at all costs. First off, getting a human on the line is like pulling teeth. If and when you do, you will likely get a rude or unhelpful person on the line. Scheduling takes forever. And then, if you're lucky like we were, the place will call and cancel on you on the day of the appointment you've been waiting for for weeks! Total mess and a stark contrast to Westwood Open MRI which has always done a fantastic job and has excellent customer relations and client care. Don't bother with this place - it's a waste of your time and a totally aggravating experience. read more

They refuse to perform an MRI without contrast. Contrast is very toxic black dye called Gadolinium which has been linked to numerous adverse reactions. It carries a black box warning label so when you fill out your paperwork, you will see the black box warnings they are required to provide. Again, it is very toxic and does not belong in the human body. Any other MRI center I've gone to has gladly performed an MRI without contrast. For some reason, this place refuses to. I would strongly suggest going somewhere else for an MRI. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. They messed up my first appointment so when I arrived it was cancelled. I rescheduled and came back on time yet again, to be told it'd be 1.5hr wait for my MRI. Unacceptable. They should've called me. The receptionist reluctantly apologized for not notifying me but she clearly doesn't care and does bare minimum. I've run businesses and she would've been fired. Go elsewhere if you can. read more

Absolutely horrible company. Nobody reachable by phone for a long time as I was trying to get questions answered. When I did reach someone, he was incompetent. read more

I had to schedule an upright MRI of my brain because I had a fall. And I'm showing dizziness. I scheduled that and they scheduled me way out in February the day before my follow-up with my neurologist. I rescheduled it to the 25th I think or the 26th next week on Thursday 6:15. I'm coming from the valley so starting at 6:15 was perfect apparently not, they called just change it because we're double booked. I asked them why the other person couldn't reschedule they said they had the appointment well I had the appointment also so I'm coming from the valley why can't they reschedule they won't do it so you know what I think I'm going to take my business elsewhere because there's other places that do the upright mri. I'm sorry but I can't reschedule if you're just going to cancel with you. I also had CT scans ordered and they scheduled me all the way in Torrance That's like an hour drive why I was under the impression they were going to be on in San Vicente but it's in Torrance! read more

They have an attitude towards their customers (Patients) that oozes "I don't care.). Lucy L.'s review is spot on. They simply don't care. Supervisors do not call back with a fix when they swear they will. read more

I needed to be in an upright position for an MRI because lying flat triggers excruciating lumbar back pain. Surprisingly, my orthopedist couldn't find any other imaging facility around Santa Monica or the West side of Los Angeles that could scan me sitting up. I had a future appointment that was going to hang me up with my doctor, so I called yesterday to move it up. It's critical that my doctor is able to analyze the results before my appointment next week with him. When I called it wasn't connected with this office, but to some central location somewhere in this country, You can't call the office directly. Miraculously, the woman told me there were three appointments available that very day...12:30, 1:30 and 2:30. Great! I took 12:30, got a ride and made it by 12:15 (as directed) to fill out paperwork. I filled it out and sat and sat and sat. Nobody came in. Nobody left. It was just me sitting in an otherwise empty waiting room. About 30 minutes after my appointment time had passed I asked the front office woman "how much longer???" She checked and said they were finishing up with someone and it should be no more than 20 minutes. It made no sense that they had three slots open, that I had the first one, and they were running over an hour late. Hell, I didn't get in until about 2:00...and my scan only took something like 20 minutes! How dare they book me into a nonexistent time slot!!! This whole corporation is a sham. My doctor's office told me more than once to hand-carry a CD of my MRI because they are not connected to this company's system. I waited around for quite awhile, and then some different receptionist who knows nothing about how things work there informed me...and the person who had gotten scanned BEFORE me that there was something wrong with the system and that it would take a couple of hours to burn those disks. The front office person who knew the ropes around there had left for the day. So did the technician who set me up for the scan, leaving me with some guy who she said was her assistant. He told me to go to Starbucks for a couple of hours to wait it out, but inasmuch as these charlatans had been BS-ing me all day, why would I think that after two hours, the disc would actually be available? He said they could mail it to me. Oh great, now I've completely lost control of the situation, because I can't trust that they will get their IT problems fixed or that they will burn the disc and mail it in a timely manner and by such means it's guaranteed to get to me ahead of my long-awaited doctor's appt. Our conversation went on and on, and I got more and more furious because that tech substitute and the naive office worker offered me no assurance that what I came there for was going to materialize so that I could get treatments for my excruciating pain. I probably used some swear words, and that bastard who did the scan threatened to call the police on me. I told him to go ahead!!! They got my co-pay money, they lied to me and misled me all day, they offered unreliable solutions, and he wants to call the cops on me??? DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE. That newbie at the front desk had to call her supervisor at corporate (wherever that is) to explain my dissatisfaction with the unreliable remedies they offered me. And that person on the other end of the phone was feeding her information to say to me. What kind of a third-rate operation functions like that??? Their patients rely on them to collect and provide high-level information which is crucial for medical professionals to function safely and effectively on behalf of them. And yet nobody on the premises has significant authority or knowledge. JEEZUSCHRIST!!! How is it that they are in business???!!! I left messages for my doctor's staff to deal with these charlatans and to make sure that they get the disc in a timely manner. You know, if that doesn't happen, it means more and more protracted pain for me!!! Not for my doctor or those staff people or the corporate big-wigs at SimonMed. It'll be ME who suffers!!! This place has some kind of a racket going that I can't quite figure out. They have THREE locations in Beverly Hills with different scanning equipment at different ones. The places I've had scans done before were large and professional. This place was small and primitive. Why don't they have all their facilities together??? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! I think they're trying to skirt some kinds of regulations or fees or something. read more

Well it was a little bit of a drive but worth it. I needed a brain scan and thought this would be perfect I'm a wide guy and regular MRI tubes aren't in the cards for me. I went here and was Leo too wide but the evening staff hit the mark completely. The Hispanic woman working the front counter was beyond helpful. And the MRI tech was incredibly awesome giving me tips and pointers as to what my move should be and precise machines to look for. I wish it had worked out for me. Regardless the business end was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better staff. read more

Horrible attitude of the office staff. X-ray tech very nice. Will never go here again.

If you're claustrophobic this is the place to go!!!!!! Don't hesitate... just make the appointment! read more

Worst experience ever. Extremely unprofessional. They claim to have sent reports to my doctors and never did. I had to hound them down for 2 days straight speaking to all random people. The medical records number has no one working there. The complaint number has no one working. They make people in pain feel worse. What I learned from it is always check reviews before going. In bad pain and still no sign of my reports. read more

Horrible Horrible horrible. I scheduled the two MRI's over 5 weeks ago. SimomMed didn't even clear it with my insurance until 4 days before. One was denied. If paperwork was turned in on time it would if been cleared. The the night before it was good to go. Then the morning of it wasn't. Depended on who you talked too. Then no one could give me price. Then I was told a cash price. Front office said get here now so I drove in the pouring rain which took an hour. I arrived at 12 (which she knew) then she said we can't take you till your time at 2pm. Everyone here doesn't know what to do. It's like the Seinfeld episode . She knows how to make a reservation she just doesn't know how to keep a reservation read more

Disorganized and poor communication. Rescheduled my appointment without notice after driving over 30 minutes to get there from other side of town. Did receive a cryptic call day before, but only heard SimonMed then someone on the other end kept telling someone else or a child to be quiet/"shhh", then hung up. Got referred to San Vicente location tomorrow after being turned away at Bev. Hills per above. Not sure these people know their head from their ass. read more

I had an appointment scheduled with and without contrast at 7 am. When I showed up, the woman was a bit harsh and I understand it's 7 am but I'm here for an MRI to see if I still have BRAIN CANCER. She then told me that they did not schedule me WITH contrast at all so I'd have to reschedule. I asked her to please speak nicer to me bc of why I mentioned above. And she proceeded to be extremely rude, THROWING the order I had back at me. Literally raising her voice at me saying HAVE A NICE DAY. I'm on the phone with their headquarters now and they're saying they see that it is scheduled with and without contrast. So never going here again. And I'm shaking and crying in my car bc after being yelled at before I'm supposed to lay in a tiny tube for an hour, it will be a week or so before I know if I still have brain cancer. read more

Had brain MRI(with + without contrast) here. This is my first MRI and did not want to go to facility with regular MRI and stayed in the tube for an hour. So glad I found this stand up MRI(actually is sitting, not standing). It was a very comfortable experience and not nervous at all. No need to go into the tube is really a life saver for anyone for MRI. You just sit there and watch the Forrest Gump movie with no movement like a statue. Watching a movie really makes it so easy so you get less bothered by the loud sound of the MRI. They gave me ear plugs and I still can hear the loud sound. So make sure you get the ear plugs. Can't imagine how terrible it would be if I am in the tube hearing those loud sound for an hour.(like some gun shooting) The technician(radiologist??) is a super friendly and funny guy. He is trying to make jokes to make you less nervous. The front desk lady is also very friendly. Another big plus is I choose to pay the cash price(ie. not billing through insurance at all) and get a GREAT deal at $532 ONLY!!! I checked with a few other places. This is the best price you can find either cash price or out of pocket after insurance(I saved at least $1000 if I have to go to UCLA facility which my doctor originally referred me to). Conclusion : I feel like I am so smart to find this place with great cash price + stand up MRI. Saving lots of money and having no terrible experience. 10++++ if yelp allows me to give. read more

I am not happy with service I received and would not recommend this imaging center to anyone. I called mid March and was scheduled in the April. They do not do all the body parts on the same day so I had to come twice to this location. It's a week passed since my visit and my results are not ready. I am here for my second round of imaging now and I'm waiting one and half hour past my appointment time and they haven't still called me in ! I had better costumer service and care at other imaging centers before. read more

This office from the get go were very accommodating, very polite and answered all my questions. Thank you Sharlyn and Keyn for giving me the experience of family taking care of me since I'm so claustrophobic doing MRI's. read more

I had an appointment for MRI with and without contrast, and I got a call a week before the appointment that they didn't have a person for that day to do it with contrast. It got rescheduled for a month later. Everything was fine the day of the MrI, until it was time for me to get the CD. I was told they were having tech issues and that I could wait 15 mins or have the CD sent to my house, which I went for it. It's been 3 weeks, and the CD hasn't arrived nor the results sent to my Dr. I called, and I was told that the referral didn't have a fax #. Therefore, they couldn't fax it to my Dr. I asked why they didn't call, and they couldn't give me an answer. All they did was send me an email with the results. Thank God it wasn't bad news. Otherwise, I would have had a meltdown. read more
