"I came to Heath Lodge Clinic a few years ago and had a scan on right ankle. The proactiveness then stayed with me so when I attended Chiropractor and knee a scan on right knee, I did not hesitate to ask for a referral to Heath Lodge Clinic again. The approach to the clinic is wonderful. I love to sit in the waiting room and envisage how it would have been when a family lived there. It is so welcoming, sterile without being off putting. The staff all have smiles, explain exactly what will happen. Giving confidence to patients and making sure all questions are answered. The MRI discs is given to a patient before they leave the building and the medical letter is sent asap. "

"Just a short note to say that I attended your clinic on Tuesday 5th November for MRI scans on my neck & head...& that I suffer from claustrophobia! I have to say that I found the lady that was able to alleviate my anxious fears to have carried out a first class service for which I'm very grateful. So thank you very much for an exceptionally good service...which I'm sure couldn't be bettered! "
"Excellent"
"From booking in to X-Ray and scans, staff have been fantastic. "
"Having been referred to the Heath Lodge Clinic for an MRI scan , I was contacted within 48 hours by telephone to arrange an appointment. I was asked a number of questions about myself and was given an appointment for the following day. I arrived at the appointed time and had a very friendly welcome from the reception staff. The radiologist then took me to the scanning area where I was asked to confirm the details I had given over the telephone. I was a little anxious about having an MRI scan but the friendly radiologist explained very clearly what the procedure entailed. I felt much more relaxed and was taken into the scanning room. The scan took about 20 minutes and about halfway through the radiologist checked that I was OK. I was given a CD of the scans and a report was sent to my osteopath. I found all the staff very friendly and highly professional."
"Easy, efficient and charming"
"I would like to thank you so much for putting me at my ease the moment we met. I was feeling extremely nervous at having an MRI due to my claustrophobia. The welcome and support you gave me was second to none. I had always dreaded being told I needed an MRI and when the day did come, I was in bits! The patience and care you showed me when I first saw the machine was so appreciated. It looked so light and spacious. When I lay down you made sure I was comfortable and only then slowly took me through the procedure, always checking if I was feeling ok. All I can say is, should I ever need another one, it would have to be at Heath Lodge Clinic. "
"Have had several visits for treatment. Staff always helpful and courteous. Cannot fault Heath Lodge. I was please with the efficiency and friendliness of everyone, and was made to feel at ease at all times. I would definitely recommend Heath Lodge to anyone needing treatment."

Plus a big thank you to your fantastic team for looking after Jessica and I so well - they really put us at ease which made everything a lot easier during the stressful time Best wishes "

"I am an autistic adult and having tried another (old) MRI scanner, couldn't proceed with it due to claustrophobia and panic. The scanner at Heath Lodge is a wide-bore scanner and also very short (just over 4ft long - so looks more like a doughnut than a tunnel!). The staff take the time to explain every part of the process to you and to ensure everyone is familiar with what the issues are and what the scan is for. They give you a buzzer to hold that you can press at any point during the scan for assistance, and they can talk to you through the headphones they give you to wear. I specifically asked to be given timing updates (e.g. I was told the first part was 2 minutes long, so I kept still and counted the seconds in my head: 1000, 2000, 3000..., then the next part was 3 minutes long etc), which stopped me ruminating and was slightly meditative. I was also surprised at how quickly it went, as when I pre-rang to ask (a lot) of questions I was told it would be approx. 50 minutes, and it was only 15 minutes! - for two areas: lumbar and sacroiliac areas. For this area I was also able to go feet-first, so my head outside of the scanner itself. They do move you a few inches on occasion during the scan to better line you up, which I wasn't pre-warned about, but it was fine. Didn't feel clinical and threatening at all; very homely place and staff were friendly and sympathetic. My mum was able to come into the scanning room with me. I was so relaxed that I even started to find the MRI scanner's noises mildly amusing, as I don't think a single one sounded the same - so I occupied myself with waiting to hear the next round of scanning to see what noises were coming next. The noises, although loud, weren't scary; more like standing next to a building site using a pneumatic drill (but you have earplugs and headphones on). There was even a funny moment when the radiologist asked me through the headphones if I was ok, but I didn't respond (I wasn't sure if they wanted a thumbs-up, or could hear me if I spoke) - so the assistant came out to physically speak to me and I told her I'd been advised not to move, so she relayed back that I was just doing what I'd been told, and we all laughed. I will never fear having another MRI scan if needed, if it's at Heath Lodge."
"I have been having pain management treatment at Heath Lodge Clinic for around six months. Each time I've attended the staff have been excellent. They put you at ease the minute you walk in. The medical staff are undeniably brilliant. They explained each procedure step-by-step. The aftercare is exceptional, making sure I was comfortable and happy.

"I had a procedure today with Prof Ishaque and I wanted to email to express my thanks to the whole team. I am a nervous patient and they were very kind.

"Lovely staff, clear explanations of procedures. "
"I canât fault the service and care you provide at Heath Lodge- I would not go to anyone else ever- I trust you all immensely and will be forever grateful.

"Very professional team. Friendly and excellent service. Nothing is too much trouble to ask. Everything was explained and as you are in pain at time of appointments, staff are aware and consider this factor. My MRI scan results came back with a full written report with a CD of clear images to keep. Very impressed with quick service. This place was recommended to me by my physiotherapist and I accepted to pay to attend as the visit was more reasonable than I had been told comparing with other places more local to me. So easy to find the Clinic with free parking. Beautiful building, very clean in all areas I visited. On day of treatment I was greeted and made to feel welcomed and relaxed. All was private and well explained. Treatment started with all clinical staff introducing themselves and put me at ease. Procedure was explained throughout and aftercare was explained and well looked after. Consultant came to see you after resting to check on you before leaving to go through aftercare and answer any further questions. I did not feel rushed at anyone time. I would definitely recommend Health lodge for their professional and friendly staff. Easy to find and very clean environment "

"When I was advised to have an MRI scan I was happy to book an appointment at Heath Lodge having attended for scanning in the past. The appointment was quick to come through and the procedure was done very professionally.

However, thanks to your teamâs kindness and patience, I would feel very comfortable coming back to you should I ever need another scan. Thank you all so much. "
"On arrival met by the Dr, went straight into cubical where I was asked to prepare for my injection. Asked various questions, completed form and signed.

After injections was wheeled back to the cubical given a cup of coffee and nurses came in regularly to note my progress. As luck has it I was allowed home after 1 hour. All good. "

"I visited Heath lodge today I am someone who suffers from anxiety and claustrophobia the staff were amazing I was taken to a room with a member of staff who went through some safety questions I was reassured and shown an image of the MRI scan, I was taken to the lockers to put away my stuff. I was then taken to the MRI room again such amazing staff reassured me told me what would happen and if at any point I didn't feel comfortable they would take me out of the machine, I was given a headset where a member of staff stayed with me checked on me and reassured me all the way which kept me calm and made me feel like I was on good hands..

"I would highly recommend Heath Lodge clinic to anyone as the service and professionalism provided was superb. I felt very anxious prior to my scan as never having experienced MRI before, felt daunted. As soon as I spoke to your staff, I felt immediately at ease. The facilities were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Obviously being 5 mins from my home helped enormously but I feel I would have travelled further knowing what was on offer on arrival.

"I recently needed to have an X-Ray, and for my own peace of mind wanted it done ASAP. My GP advised that there was a long wait on the NHS, so I decided to go privately at Heath Lodge. I was able to get a X-Ray organised quickly. On the day the service was polite, professional and on time! My results were back to my GP on a timely basis and I was relieved that all was OK. "
"I recently utilised the services at Heath Lodge Clinic for an MRI scan due to a persisting hip issue. Opting for a self-pay scheme, I was quickly referred to their specialist team. The responsiveness of the clinic's staff was commendable, with a call back received the very next day. The efficiency didn't stop there. I had an appointment scheduled for the day following the call, which was much quicker than I had anticipated. The logistical aspects of the experience were also handled smoothly. The clinic had ample parking, which made the process stress-free right from the start. Upon arrival, the clinic's reception was well-organised. I was called in right away, showcasing their punctuality and regard for the patient's time. It was evident that Heath Lodge Clinic places a great deal of emphasis on the patient experience. The MRI room was pleasant, with mood lighting that created a calming atmosphere. Overall, my experience at Heath Lodge Clinic was a good one. Their efficiency, thoughtfulness, and patient-centric approach made a marked difference. It's a healthcare provider that I would certainly recommend to anyone in need of similar services. Their attention to detail, from the practical elements like parking and appointment scheduling to the comforting environment of the MRI room, ensures a positive experience for every patient. "

"At another provider, I had a brain mri scan it was the end of the day at the clinic the air con had stopped working it was very warm and I didnât know what to expect. I had my first ever panic attack. I then had a shoulder mri at another provider and wasnât treated very well as I was again having a panic attack. They eventually found a pair of prism glasses which helped. So when I came to your clinic I was wiring myself up and ready to have a meltdown and a panic attack! I was put at ease straightaway even when you didnât have any prism glasses which Iâd asked for! But the lady who did my scan was lovely and explained everything. The aircon was perfect and the temperature in the room was great she even added fans. Also I felt that you machines were bigger and not as claustrophobic "

"Cannot fault the care I have received. Dr F. Duncan was excellent - polite, thorough and informative as were all the staff. "
"I rarely write reviews and confine them only to when I find something extremely good or when I am incensed by an unfair review that someone else has posted! I send this one now as my recent experiences of the Heath Lodge Clinic have exceeded my expectations. I attended firstly for an MRI on my knee. Your staff were welcoming and solicitous as to any concerns I might have about the procedure. Earphones were given to me to lessen the noises made by the machine and a buzzer to press should I need the process to be stopped for any reason. It took approximately 15 minutes and was totally comfortable. A disc with the images taken was given to me before I left and the comprehensive report and recommendations followed some days later. As a result of the MRI I attended for steroid injections about which I was apprehensive and wondered if they would be very painful. They were merely slightly uncomfortable for a start. The radiographer who carried out the ultra sound injections explained the procedure in detail before she started and took every precaution to avoid infection and the nurse who looked after me couldnât have been kinder. It was explained that I might experience some pain in the days following and if so to take standard painkillers. I experienced no pain afterwards and had no need to do so. Two or three days after the procedure my knee started to feel easier and now a week later it is pain free. Heath Lodge Clinic is a wonderful relaxed place and I wouldnât hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for this sort of treatment. With best wishes Yours sincerely Paddy Ellis "
"My husband has been off work for 7 months after a car accident, he had treatment at Heath Lodge for pain management and has now returned to work within 9 days of receiving his treatment. The staff are efficient, friendly and welcoming and weâre so relieved that we took this option for treatment."
"Efficient, pleasant experience before and after procedure. Friendly and calming during procedure. "
"Excellent as the entire procedure was effortless and genuine caring staff thank you so much. "
"I would most certainly recommend Heath Lodge Clinic. Furthermore, from the time I arrived until I could leave to go home everything went smoothly. Many thanks to all the medical team. Marvellous."
"I was really happy with the whole experience, thank you. "
"I can't imagine how you could improve. "
"Always well looked after by kind, friendly and caring staff. "
"I would just like to say thankyou to all the staff at the Heath Lodge clinic. I have struggled with claustrophobia and being anxious for a long time and this has stopped me having an MRI scan in the past. I have tried at the NHS and also the Trucks that come with an MRI scanner in them but have had no luck. What I have found is that the people that run them just need you in and out ASAP so they can get lots done in one day and can not spend quality time with you and the MRI scanner is small. When you go to Heath lodge you are made to feel at ease straight away. You have a nice waiting room and are greeted with a smile at reception. When it's time for your MRI the Radiographer comes to collect you and takes you down for the MRI. She takes you in the room with the Scanner and at all times is very softly spoken and very reassuring and explains everything. The scanner is bigger than the NHS ones so it's still hard to do but the Staff make the difference and make you feel at ease at all times. I would recommend Heath lodge clinic to anyone that struggles with claustrophobia and being anxious. Kind Regards "
"I originally contacted the Heath Lodge Clinic to enquire about having an MRI - I was extremely nervous about having my MRI due to feeling very claustrophobic and suffering with anxiety anyway. From the moment I spoke with the front of house team, I was made to feel at ease - Jayne in particular was brilliant, spent time with me on the phone talking me through the process and re-assuring me along the way. On the day of the scan itself, I was seen promptly by the lovely radiography team and talked through the process and safety questions. Upon lying down and entering the machine I initially went into panic mode and was unsure I'd be able to proceed, however the team (Nicole and Claire) were absolutely fantastic - they helped me breathe, calm down and re-assured me - they ensured I was comfortable and then we got started. The team talked me through every part of the process over intercom, checking on me after every scan, and keeping me informed as to how long each one was - to my surprise I managed to get through the whole scan! I absolutely wouldnât have gotten through this scan without the help of Nicole and Claire and I am so thankful for their support and re-assurance. Thank you Heath Lodge Team!!"
"I was really happy with the whole experience, thank you. "
"Very helpful and kind ladies. I found the premises to be very clean and that I would highly recommend Heath Lodge to other patients"
"Everyone has been very kind and helpful. Felt totally at ease throughout."
"Polite, efficient staff. Clean professional facilities. The service is excellent at Heath Lodge."
"I would certainly recommend you. Everything first class from start to finish."
"The whole process was as good as I would want it to being I had organised the treatment myself. Incredibly client focussed, courteous, everyone knew what they were doing and extremely good value. Would highly recommend for anyone needing to have an MRI scan. "
"I felt that everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. The team were incredibly patient and I felt no pressure re sedation or when I went in fore the scan. Extremely professional, empathetic, helpful and supportive. Also spending 10 minutes in the scanner room prior to scan really helped me to feel at ease., and having the image at the back really helped. Thank you. "
"Excellent :) Great Staff"
"I recently attended Heath Lodge Clinic for a scan (MRI), and was very impressed with the service I received. My appointment ran on time and staff were friendly and helpful. The building itself is welcoming, with plenty of parking (and a good cup of coffee was available too!) (may need another scan soon â so weâll be back!) "
"The staff at Heath Lodge were very welcoming and professional. The whole experience was easy and relaxing from start to finish! I would highly recommend Heath Lodge to anyone who requires an MRI scan."
"I thought the nurse who did my MRI scan was very helpful and reassuring, and I appreciated the clinicâs efforts to keep the patients safe."
"I was made to feel very relaxed and comfortable with what was going on. Christina and Christina were very friendly and professional, as were all staff. I was pleased to wake to a nice coffee and my favourite biscuits!"
"Very good! Staff explained everything thoroughly. Thank you. My experience was a very good one. Everyone was very friendly and attentive and everything was explained to me . I felt comfortable throughout . If I should need another MRI scan in the future I would have no hesitation in using you and would also recommend you to friends and relatives. "
"I was very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of the whole team at Heath Lodge Clinic. I was contacted very promptly after my referral was sent and booked in at my convenience. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and put me at ease. The report from the scan came through quickly and was very detailed and informative. I would highly recommend Heath Lodge. Thank you. My thanks to Dr Beale and all at Heath Lodge Best wishes "
"From making the initial phone call right through to having the scan within in less than a week, went like clockwork. The clinic was easy to find and that staff could not have been more helpful/ professional and excellent customer service. I would certainly recommend. "
"I would just like to extend a very big thank you to everyone at Heath Lodge Clinic who went above and beyond my expectations when I had a late night emergency with pains in both legs. I found the whole experience very reassuring that in these difficult times in health care that there is someone there when needed. I was immediately put at ease on my arrival and received excellent care and attention from all the staff I came into contact with. The MRI experience was fully explained and I was made comfortable whilst receiving the scan. I have since had a great recommendation for follow up treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend Heath Lodge to anyone seeking prompt and professional diagnostic imaging in immaculate comfortable surrounding. Thanks again to all the staff. "
"My Consultant recommended your clinic as a very cost effective and efficient service. I was impressed by the whole service I received, and the prompt production of my MRI on a disc to take away with me. Well organised, clean, tidy. Excellent service, thank you. "
"Made to feel welcome and relaxed, very friendly. I was looked after so well and treated like you really cared for comfort. All of your staff spoke to me politely and kindly and I would strongly recommend Heath Lodge Clinic to anyone who feels a little anxiety when going to see doctors or specialists. I will definitely be using you again ?"
"The MRI was quick and made me feel very comfy. The team at Heath Lodge Clinic were extremely friendly and kind. They kept me calm and at ease during my MRI and answered any questions I had. If anyone asked for recommendations I would definitely suggest Heath Lodge Clinic. "
"Friendly staff. Clean site. Lovely. Every part of the experience put me at ease and made me comfortable. Specific care was taken to ensure I understood exactly what to expect at every stage. The attentive staff were courteous and professional throughout from the reception greeting to the scan to my departure. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Heath Lodge Clinic"
"Friendly, informative staff. Clean clinic. Excellent ?"
"It was a very pleasant experience with with friendly staff. "
"Excellent ? everyone here- from trying to book an appointment to having the MRI completed- has been fabulous. "
"I was looked after so well and treated like you really cared for comfort. All of your staff spoke to me politely and kindly and I would strongly recommend Heath Lodge Clinic to anyone who feels a little anxiety when going to see doctors or specialists. I will definitely be using you again ? "
"I am more than happy to say how impressed I was by the way one of your team (whose name I unfortunately did not take a note of) dealt with my husbands recent visit to your clinic. On arriving he decided once inside he was not going to have the much needed MRI scan that was booked for him due to his fear of actually getting into the scanner (he has a fear of being enclosed). We left the building and I told him how disappointed I was after driving him to his appointment only for him to refuse to go ahead. He then went back into the clinic and was persuaded by a lovely member of your team to not only take a look at the scanner but to go ahead and have it done, her patience and powers of persuasion were second to none. Sheâs an absolute definite asset to you and I would not hesitate to highly recommend your clinic to anyone in need of a scan. "
"I had to write and compliment you and your staff. My first experience with MRI scans was probably one of the most horrific. Through the NHS with professional medically trained staff who had little if no idea of The human side to MRI scanning Your staff from the minute I parked in the car park through reception to your radiographers. These two ladies were amazing. Greeting me within minutes of me walking into your quiet comfortable and exquisite Waiting area ! Right through the whole experience ! I came in absolutely terrified and went out walking on Air I do like excellent caring service and your clinic provides. Rest assured your prices are well below the extortionate private hospitals. I shall be recommending you to all my fellow Friends and relatives of a certain age that are in need of such a service . I must tell you walking out with a dvd of my MRI Scan saved me from a long wait and gave the surgeon much needed early warning to fix my problem . Which he did Thank you. Please keep up the good work . Very best wishes "
"Very nice welcome and procedure efficient. Excellent ?"
"I found my experience at the Heath Lodge clinic seamless from start to finish. Staff at each level were helpful and professional. Everything possible was done to make me feel at ease and for my comfort, even changing the music during my treatment ! The procedure was explained at every stage and I felt safe and secure in very capable hands. I highly recommend Heath Lodge and I shall not hesitate to use their services in future." "
"Heath Lodge Clinic was beyond my expectations. I was met at the door by Claire and her team who immediately put me at ease. My MRI scan went very smoothly so thank you all very much. "
"I was very impressed with all aspects of the care my son received, he is eight and the prospect of going to a clinic in unfamiliar surroundings must have been a little overwhelming even for a boy who on the outside seems confident and take most things in his stride. The staff immediately put him at ease, discussed the whole process with him. The diagnosis was made and a referral to GP within mins of us leaving the clinic. This enabled the next stage of treatment to be planned and processed very promptly. George underwent surgery 8 weeks after his scan and is now three weeks into recovery, he is doing extremely well. Walking without crutches and building strength in his knee. We are extremely grateful to the staff at Heath Lodge Clinic for their care and professionalism which played a vital role in my son's treatment. I wouldnât hesitate in recommending the services of Heath lodge clinic. Kind regards "
"I have visited the clinic for both an MRI scan & also X-ray. On both occasions I found the team to be welcoming, professional yet friendly. Both procedures were explained fully & as I was nervous about the MRI they were especially considerate with regards to making me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Heath Lodge Clinic. "
"Fantastic, friendly, helpful staff, no waiting around A+++++ .... you have something great there at Heath Lodge, credit to you all. I would highly recommend Heath Lodge Clinic for anybody seeking treatment, after being referred there myself I was delighted with the walm welcome, and was comforted by the friendly and efficient staff who made the whole experience a pleasant one. "
"Excellent ?"
"All the staff are so welcoming and professional! Parking is excellent. I came to the clinic a few years ago for a different reason and it was just as good then as now."
"Once again, I must compliment Heath Lodge Clinic upon the level of X-Ray and Administrative Services. If I am able to identify any other exploratory avenues that may require your services I shall be in touch. Additionally, I shall be more than happy to recommend the Clinic to friends or colleagues as appropriate. "
"I was referred to CMC Imaging by my Consultant. The entire experience was beyond expectations in so many ways. My first impression of Heath Lodge was how utterly immaculate it is. From there on, from the Reception Staff to the friendly, sympathetic and utterly professional Radiographers âŠwow! To say that the overall experience was deeply impressive was to understate it big time. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I knew exactly what was going to happen. Every aspect was carefully explained. The kindness and sympathy extended to me was exemplary. Thank you to all the team."
"After an emergency appointment for a scan this morning, I would like to say a very big thank you for all the kindness and consideration and help I was given today when I was aware of how busy Heath Lodge is and how grateful I was that I was seen to so promptly. The clinic is immaculate and so professionally organised, the whole experience for me, when I was in considerable pain, was such a huge relief as I was very worried about how I would cope . My particular thanks to Mandy and Charlotte who were wonderful and so careful with me, I was so impressed and extremely grateful. Please pass on my appreciation to all concerned."
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Claire and her colleague, who helped me through my MRI scan this morning. Having had a very frightening MRI experience last year in hospital, today's experience at Heath Lodge was the complete opposite. From the moment I walked through the door I was treated with respect and genuine care. Claire talked me through everything so I knew what to expect and allowed me to take things at my own pace. I would thoroughly recommend this clinic and the lovely caring and compassionate staff, especially if you are a reluctant patient for any reason. Warmest regards, Ms A.B."
"I visited the clinic yesterday for the first time for a few years and only had to wait a couple of days for an appointment. On arrival I was immediately impressed by the anti Covid protocols such as remaining in my car until invited in plus sanitisation, mask wearing, separation from other patients etc. The MRI suite was very clean and the radiographers courteous and polite throughout. Not expecting the results for a few days yet but would be happy to use this facility again should the need arise."
"I attended this clinic for an MRI Scan in March 2022. The scan was of my lumbar spine, pelvis and hips. This established that I was in need of a Replacement Left Hip but it was also noticed that there was an unusual mass. My GP was telephoned by the Clinic and her attention drawn to this unusual mass, just visible on the MRI Scan. After further investigations this led to a successful major Operation. I would have been none the wiser if not alerted to this situation and who knows when this may have been discovered as I was not having any symptoms. Once again, many thanks to Heath Lodge Clinic for their swift reaction and professionalism."
"Claustrophobic patient - top service! â I visited Heath Lodge for an MRI yesterday on my back, after failing at another MRI due to claustrophobia. Heath Lodge were fabulous with me even before my actual appointment. However, the day came and to be honest I was terrified. My sister came along, due to possible sedation happening, but Iâm so pleased to say I didnât need the sedation in the end. Yes I was scared, BUT the actual MRI scan was nothing like my mind had pictured it. The machines are amazing but what really puts you at ease are the wonderful staff, without them it would have been a much more challenging process - I am forever grateful. Additionally, the fact they let my sister be with me and she was able to hold my shoulder and reassure me was above and beyond my expectations and really allowed me to get through the scan (alongside the regular updates and talking through the process by the consultant). Thank you so much - my experience of an MRI before that had been terrifying but youâve done so much to ease my mind and if I need another MRI Iâd certainly be back to Heath Lodge. Thank you again. J.Reid"
"I just wanted to drop you a quick message to thank everyone involved in my treatment and aftercare this morning for the professionalism, care and kindness that I was treated with. I couldn't of wished for any more. I strongly believe that when people treat you with such kindness and care that it should be acknowledged and everyone I met at Heath Lodge from the Initial contact, to my MRI scan and through to today have all been wonderful. In a society where people are so quick to criticise and find fault that it's really important to show appreciation for a positive experience. I volunteer as a Mental Health First Aider and have also been volunteering alongside the hard working staff at my local GP Practice since day one of vaccination program and know how precious it is to reassure people and be warm, friendly and positive. Working in a medical or care profession is a vocation and not just a job.  All of you at Heath Lodge Clinic do a first class job in providing not only exceptional clinical services and care but in the personal care that makes all the difference. Thank you. "
"On behalf of my mother Mrs Carole Kent, I just wanted to say a very big thank you for helping her overcome her fears on having an MRI scan. As a claustrophobia sufferer, she attended your clinic on 9 March and with the help of your friendly and understanding staff managed to have the scan without sedation. Would highly recommend to anyone in a similar position. Thank you again"
"As someone who suffers from claustrophobia an MRI scan is a daunting prospect, however the staff at Heath Lodge were excellent and understood the anxiety this can cause. The new scanners are fitted with a mirror/ picture system which alleviated the claustrophobic feeling completely. If ever an MRI experience can be described in positive terms, this was it. Thank you, and I mean that most sincerely"
"I cannot thank the team enough for making my MRI a stress free, relaxing process. Initially I was anxious due to past bad experience elsewhere but I now feel really empowered going through that and it was down to the two radiographers, the doctor and the nurse (Sue, Claire and Caterina) who helped me in recovery after the scan. They were so calm, patient, caring- just amazing. They really looked after me and put a smile on my face. I also had a great cup of tea- something which I am really particular about- it was just what I needed! Time in the scanner flew and I even feel I could have stayed in longer- not that I wanted to! They were all fantastic and transformed what was once a stressful experience and fills me with anxiety, into something so relaxing. This has been a major accomplishment for me and its down to this team- this has been life changing for me and I think next I won't be as nervous next time. I also think the sedation helped my throat, as that is what causes me problems when I lie flat. If I ever need a procedure again that I need to be in the tunnel I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for looking after me and making this such a positive experience."
"I would like to thank everyone at Heath Lodge for the friendly and efficient way my recent appointment was dealt with, from my first telephone enquiry to the actual MRI scan on Wednesday 9th February. I cannot thank the two Radiologists, Claire & Nicole, enough for their kindness, consideration & professionalism - without these two I would not have been able to complete the scan due to claustrophobia. I have in the past been unable to complete an MRI scan."
"May I thank the 2 girls who looked after me today for my MRI scan. Really grateful for their help. Very much appreciated."
"Maureen has today (at last!) had a call from her GP regarding the report you sent following her MRI scan last month. I thought you should know that the GP said it was the most detailed and comprehensive report she had seen, and praised your clinic. It showed that Physiotherapy will help to alleviate Maureenâs condition. We are glad we chose your clinic (following a recommendation) and thank you for your excellent service. Best wishes from us both - and thanks again to all concerned. "
"I attended my appointment yesterday and I would really like to say a very big thank you to your nursing staff, they were so caring and attentive and it made the experience so much easier. A huge thank you to the nurse who held my hand through the painful bits (An angel! I really hope I didn't squeeze too hard), and to everyone involved from start to finish. You have some amazing staff, and I am very grateful for the care I received. Please pass this thank you on to those involved and your practise manager, I hope you are very proud of your wonderful team! "
"Wonderful, friendly and efficient service from Mandy and Claire whilst making my MRI scan surprisingly simple to complete. Thank you Heath Lodge clinic."
"Can I also say how wonderful you all were with me, especially Sue she was amazing would not have gone through with it all without her .. and please apologise to Sue from me as I kept forgetting to breathe ⊠thank you all again you are all amazing .. "
""I would like to thank you for looking after me for my MRI scans on Friday 20th August. A very professional service and a facility that is excellent. Everything was spot on from how you are handling CoVid to importantly the scans themselves.  Efficient, professional and reassuring. Can you also pass on my thanks to Dr Beale (I hope I have spelt his name correctly) for not only a professional approach but a very human touch.  Please pass on my thanks above to all concerned."
"Could you please pass on my thanks to Anne and the team at HLC, they have pulled out all the stops to get a report sent to my referrer the same day as my MRI. I have an appointment with a Consultant on the 3.8.21 and was not expecting the report for at least a week afterward.... Brilliant patient service! "
"I have attended Heath Lodge Clinic on a number of occasions since 2010 and upon my recommendation so have other immediate family members for a variety of reasons but all requiring MRI scans. Our experiences have been of a speedy, efficient, helpful and caring nature from all those staff members we have dealt with from the professionally qualified clinicians through to the admin staff."
"Thank you for great care today from Maxine and her colleague. I am claustrophobic but managed fine with the scan thanks to their reassurance and confidence in what they are doing. Grateful thanks. "
"Back from an MRI scan at Heath Lodge Clinic. It was a very positive experience. The people who looked after me from the reception to the radiographer were all brilliant. Everything was clearly explained and not stressful at all. Thank you"
"This is a superb clinic. Lovely calm setting, excellent facilities, efficient, professional and friendly. Very high standards in all areas including Covid protocols. Respect and support given to patients and anxieties taken seriously! Thank you to all who looked after me."
"âI am truly grateful for your amazing levels of efficiencyâ. "
"Just a quick thank you for doing my MRI scan today, as you are aware i suffer from claustrophobia and was extremely scared. You were both reassuring me and put me at ease. I can highly recommend heath lodge clinic and the excellent staff there. Thank you & well done "
"Very efficient xx Lovely staff xx made us feel very welcome"
"Thank you very much for this and can I take this opportunity to thank everyone there who helped to get me there with my fear of scanners and to make the experience such that I wonât be worried at all to have another MRI in the 3T scanner,"
"Thank you for arranging and conducting my Brain Scan yesterday (Wed 26th May at 2pm) - Your service really was impeccable and extremely professional for which I am very grateful."
"Because I am claustrophobic I was not looking forward to this experience. However, I was met with complete kindness and care and was given all the necessary information. I decided to go-ahead and have the scan and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their excellent care and kindness."
"your clinic combines the correct ambience with staff who are courteous and efficient, making this an altogether pleasant and beneficial experience for me. I recognize professionalism when I see it."
"I would just like to pass on my thanks for making me feel at ease when I came for an MRI scan on Weds the 5th of May, I came to you for the open MRI machine after not being able to go through with a normal size MRI due to Claustrophobia/ Anxiety Sue the Radiographer made me feel at ease as soon she met me in reception and carried on to do so all the way through, everything was explained step by step and nothing was rushed. I also got the same attention from another Lady that was in the scanning room (sorry I have forgotten her name). Dr Beale was also very nice and reassuring. My experience here has taken away some of the feeling Iâve had since trying to be put into a normal MRI machine, this will certainly be the place for me to go if I need any more MRI procedures. "
"I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of service, both clinically and personally, provided to my patients and myself. I can truthfully say that in 30 years of working as a chiropractor I have never experienced a better specialist medical service"
"I would just like to thank all the staff that helped me through my MRI yesterday.. you were fantastic.. thank you so much"
"I had a MRI Brain scan at your wonderful clinic last Thursday (March 7th 2019). I felt I had to put pen to paper to express my profound thanks to the marvellous staff you have. I was extremely nervous, and the staff were all so very kind and thoughtful- a total asset to your practice. I would like to pass on my many thanks. "
"Great place, Iâve been to this clinic on several occasions for MRI scans. Excellent service, fast results, very professional service, the ability to self-pay. Would definitely use this clinic and service again, quicker than the NHS! Minimum waiting time, virtually made an appointment and got in the next day made it so easy to get scans and competitively priced."
"Following an MRI which was completed around a year ago, I had reason to request that Heath Lodge Clinic electronically transfer the information to my Consultant in London.... In speaking to the clinic a year on they were most helpful and happy to transfer the material as requestedâŠ. (which arrived at my home the very next day). I was delighted with their friendly and very professional service and wouldnât hesitate to recommend them."
"Called Heath Lodge this week to arrange a scan for my husband at short notice and was successfully helped in doing so by Beryl. She was amazing as an appointment with the consultant the following day would have been pointless really without the scans but she managed to fit him in so that there was something for the consultant to see. Thank you so much Beryl."
"A âthank youâ to everyone at the Clinic who participated in my back injection on Friday. A most professional and caring procedure. I was also most impressed by the friendliness of all staff and by the standards of cleanliness in the building with colleagues consistently cleaning surfaces. I never felt troubled by the pandemic. All the best to you all Mr Cole"
"âFirstly I had an urgent need for an MRI. From the very moment of contact to the MRI itself on 18th August 2020 I have been treated with such kindness, empathy and just downright decency by every single person I have had the pleasure to speak to - and eventually - to meet. When one is feeling vunerable with often our own version of what MAY be wrong it's a joy to be met with kindness. I was vunerable with health issues and TERRIFIED of the MRI scan that was to prove of such great value. I'm claustrophobic. From that first phone call I was reassured all would be well. I tried to believe them. My appointment time came and I was sick to my stomach nervous! I needn't have been. The scanner was wide and short and both ends open. I was talked to all the way through. Apart from when I was singing! The Radiographer was perfect. Then ...... came the need for a DXA scan. On the 19th September. Different operator same high standard of care and concern. She had the patience of a saint and did her utmost to do her most important job without causing my painful bones more stress! Bless her. Furthermore....... can there be MORE? YES there is!! I needed the copy report of my MRI and my GP wouldn't send it to me!! Following necessary protocol the lovely bookings girl sent it to me! She phoned and let me know she'd do it. She went above and beyond. I shan't forget her kindness. And she was up against a very tight time frame indeed. Thank you to all there at Heath Lodge Clinic. And to prospective new patients..... you're in good hands. In more ways than one.â "
"I am passing on a message of gratitude from a number of patients I have referred recently. Theyâve had nothing but lovely things to say about their experiences visiting your clinic. Many thanks, Tony â Rugby Osteopathic Centre"
"Had a MRI scan at Heath Lodge Clinic on Wednesday November 4th 2020 at 9.30am. Staff were brilliant, the place was brilliant, the scanner was so very much better than the out of Noah's Ark scanners in the West Midlands NHS hospitals. Quite simply I am very claustrophobic so I could not use the NHS scanners but I had no problem at all at Heath Lodge, and did not need sedating. Believe me If I can use their scanner with my claustrophobia, you can too. Furthermore, less than 3 hours after the scan the results were with my Consultant and I have an appointment to see my consultant on November 6th 2020. You can't get much quicker than that. I could not praise Heath Lodge enough, absolutely first class. Mr Shipley, Darlaston, West Midlands. November 5th 2020.(name used with consent)"
"I recently had the need to undergo an MRi scan and was very concerned about the timings due to the ongoing pandemic crisis and itâs effect on the provision of services. I therefore contacted Heath Lodge Clinic who bent over backwards to arrange for me to have my scan done as quickly as possible and with the appropriate technicians. Not always easy to organize I am sure in the best of times. I dealt with their representative almost daily for a week and liaised with her via e-mail; throughout the process I found the support, kindness and the fact that Sarah was as eager as me to organize an appointment second to none. Heath Lodge no doubt is an efficient, well organized clinic that clearly employs only the best of staff and for that I wish to affirm how pleased I am that I used their services lately."
"I really struggle with claustrophobia. I was dreading the MRI scan but the staff that helped me on the day were incredible. To my surprise, I managed to go through with the scan and did it without using sedation. This was mostly down to the assurances and assistance the staff gave me so Iâd like to pass my thanks on to all concerned. It made the whole experience much easier for me. "
"Firstly i wanted to say how impressed i was with my recent visit to Heath Lodge for my recent shoulder MRI. It ran very smoothly & exactly on time, the radiographer was really friendly and the MRI room itself (i loved the lights!) was very impressive. I felt reassured that so many precautions had been put in place to ensure both mine and the staff's safety, given the current COVID crisis. Many thanks once again, Mikki (Michelle) Senior"
"Heath Lodge Clinic came highly recomended by my neurologist. It meant travelling by train/taxi from Worcestershire but, was so worth the journey knowing they have one of the very latest 3D scanners I think(?) in the country. I don't suffer from claustrophobia but for anyone who does or have other concerns I am sure you will find their 3D scanner a pleasant experience. You are able to lay back & watch relaxing images on a screen along with relaxing music in the background (how good is that?!) there is also a timer so you can watch & know how long each part of the scan will take. The whole process was only 30mins including the preparation before & after. Most segments of the scan were as quick as a few minutes. The clinic is not "clinical" as one would think but more like stepping into someones home! The place was spotlessly clean in all areas & very strict covid measures are in place. I had never heard of this clinic before & as someone who has had numerous scans over the years in private hospitals in the Birmingham area I do think we patients are very fortunate to have this "gem" of a clinic in the Midlands. The time it takes out of ones day to get a scan done is very small in view of what follows - a diagnosis leading to (in some cases) life saving treatment, or like me new medication & peace of mind following health concerns. The results were with my consultant ready for a telephone consultation within less than 7 working days. "
"I would highly recommend Heath Lodge Clinic for anyone nervous or worried about having an MRI scan, I was instantly put at ease by the friendly understanding staff and wouldnât hesitate if I needed to book again."
"I have been a patient at Heath Lodge for several years . Their open ended scanners have enabled me to have several lumbar spine MRI scans despite my severe claustrophobia. However I was very apprehensive about a cervical (upper spine / neck) MRI and I booked sedation . I am overjoyed to say that due to the use of an ingenious mirrored device - which fools the brain! - alongside the empathy of the staff I was able to undergo this MRI without sedation . In fact as I was lying there I actually thought âI could lie here all day long â My claustrophobia is pretty extreme so I would encourage anyone - before your sedation at least ask to give the mirrors a go, they worked for me !!! ( **I had previously failed with mirror glasses at an NHS scan, the Heath Lodge gizmo is completely different) Thank you Heath Lodge staff"
"I had an MRI scan for my lower back at Health Lodge Clinic after being referred by my chiropractor as I was in constant pain. The results from this has lead myself to have a better way of life. All the staff were very helpful and made me feel at ease. Iâm very grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone considering treatment. Thank you again."
"When I arrived at the clinic I received a warm friendly welcome. During the scan all of the staff were very professional and explained the whole process of what the scan entailed. I felt very comfortable and overall it was a very positive patient experience. Would definitely recommend and thank you to all the staff. "
""I just wanted to say that I was absolutely delighted with the service I received yesterday. I first had an MRI scan around 15 years ago with the sort of machines that were available at the time and it was one of the most uncomfortable, claustrophobic experiences I have ever experienced. The modern, open machine, you used yesterday with the more open design was absolutely no problem at all. I would also like to extend my thanks to the staff at the clinic. From the original booking right through to the actual treatment I was treated with the utmost professionalism with each stage being carefully explained before and during the scan. Well done." "
"An outstanding service from start to finish. I brought my mother in for an emergency MRI scan on her spine, she was in significant pain on arrival and was extremely anxious about the MRI itself and the result. She was greeted with unquestionable kindness, empathy and understanding. The warmth and care shown from all the staff instantly eased my mothers anxiety. The MRI itself was swift and every measure was taken to make her as comfortable as possible. The consultation that followed was informative and lead with true compassion. It was a scary time for both myself and my mother and we are so incredibly grateful for the calm and kind manner the situation and options were explained to us by Dr Beale along with the speed in which the measures required to action emergency surgery happened. The report was with the hospital by the time we arrived, an exceptional turn around and a true testament to how much they care for their patient. To be able to offer such compassionate, kind and expert service during "normal times" is a credit but being able to provide this level during covid safe measure is beyond outstanding. We will be forever grateful for the service we received at Heath Lodge Clinic and could not recommend it more highly. Thank you."
"I would like to share my experience visiting the Heath Lodge Clinic for an MRI scan on my back. I suffer from the worst type of claustrophobia. I cannot even wear a watch or a ring. In the past I have had a total of 6 MRI scans which were absolutely horrendous and terrifying. I never stopped shaking and sweating throughout. From the first contact with the Heath Lodge Clinic I was reassured by the very professional and friendly receptionist. On arrival at the Heath Lodge Clinic I shook from head to toe, all the staff realised I was absolutely terrified. Everything was clearly explained to me. They gave me every reassurance possible. The doctor administered the sedation, the next thing I knew was that the MRI scan was complete approximately 35 minutes later. I was taken out of the scanner and sat in a reclining chair and gave a very nice cup of tea and a selection of biscuits. If the need ever arises for me to have another MRI scan I would definitely only go to the Heath Lodge Clinic. The reason being they are the best of the best and at every opportunity have the patients interest at heart demonstrating team concept in everything they do. May I take this opportunity to thank them all in their marvellous way they looked after me. I will never be terrified to have another MRI scan again, words cannot express how much I appreciated your professional support. "
"Writing to thank you for looking after me yesterday. Mandy, Ugo & the receptionists were lovely & efficient. "
"Friendly and efficient, would highly recommend"
"Would highly recommended. An professional, efficient and friendly service. Appointment was quick to organise and i went in for my scan on time. I would use this service again."
"â I have extreme anxiety when I have to leave the house at the minute due to my weight and being constantly ridiculed by complete strangers that I have resulted to staying indoors and not mixing with anyone, so todays appointment was a lot for me to do. As soon as I met Claire at the door, she completely put me at ease with her warm friendly manner and told me each process before doing it so I knew what I had to do! When I went into the scan room Claire and the other lady helped me so much and didn't make me feel self-conscious or embarrassed about my appearance. They spoke to me and constantly made sure I was ok in the scanner and just let me know they were there. These 2 ladies are a credit to your company and I really can't thank them enough, so to whoever receives this e-mail if you could once again thank them for me, and apologise to the lady whose name I have forgotten. I now know that if for any reason I have to go through this again that I will have absolutely nothing to worry about." Ms Green. â "
"Highly recommend. Have referred patients here and very impressed with availability of appointments, great customer service and excellent quality of reporting. Thank you"
"Dear Dr.Beale, As you know, I and my colleagues at the Edgbaston Physiotherapy Clinic have been using your imaging services at Heath Lodge for more than 10 years. You have become our first choice because we find the quality and thoroughness of your reporting on imaging procedures is always first-class. Thank you very much! "
"The girls have been absolutely fantastic, and although I know I may have been a pain constantly calling them whilst I was getting to grips with running the admin for the MSK clinic while our other administrators were furloughed, they were always more than happy to help and went above and beyond to assist me. They really are a credit to Heath Lodge!"
