Washington Radiology Chevy Chase

Nice center. Efficient team. Appeared clean and was comfortable space. Was in and out within 30-40 mins for mammogram. No complaints. Pleasant experience.

I had a chest X’ray yesterday (03/15/2024).I am a lung transplant patient. The staff was efficient and kind. The x’ray was done due to persistent cough after Covid. The report by Mr. Daniel Chu is completely silent about the transplanted good lung. The report only talks about the fibrotic lung which everyone knows is not effective anymore and as a result the left lung was transplanted. Do I take it that left lung is working well? The image must show both lungs. It would have nicer if the report would have also given a report on the left lung. Hope we get better reports in future.

Technicians and front desk are really nice and patient and take their time to explain everything. You can tell they know this can be stressful and make sure you feel comfortable.

Gisele and Dr Holland were professional and at the same time friendly. The person who scheduled me was great too. The appointment took less time than I expected.

Avoid this place at all costs if you are a patient who sees multiple doctors/hospitals.

Records and billing systems are archaic. There’s no patient portal to access anything and it’s almost impossible to get records, even after filling out the online form and calling. They rarely answer the phones. When I called billing, the only way for me to get a receipt is to have it sent in the mail. It would be easier to have my imaging redone somewhere else just so I could have access to records and billing.

I didn’t realize how important that aspect t of care was until it was too late.

While I have no complaints about the mammogram procedure itsel, I was told that I would get the results within one week. It is now past that time and when I called Washington Radiology this morning I was told that they did not have the report of my mammogram and that it had not been read yet. The person I spoke with then called the Chevy Chase office to see what the hold up was and then told me that I would get a call from the Chevy chase office today. I’m still waiting to hear from them. I experienced the same thing last year, had to call to get the report and then filled out a survey about my dissatisfaction with Washington Radiology and even spoke with a representative who said this would be addressed. Clearly there has been no change. When I go to my doctor, test results are available within 48 hours. Not understanding why this takes longer. Will be looking for a different place to get a mammogram next time.

What has happened to WRA? I’ve been a patient 2x/year for 15 years. My experience has always been good as they are organized & efficient w/ professional staff. Well, my last 3 visits have been absolute chaos. Mixed up appointments, despite confirmation emails and wait times are up to an hour. As I write this, I’ve been waiting over an hour for a 1pm appointment— no one has even acknowledged the wait. I arrived 7 minutes early, so this isn’t on me and my info & insurance has been the same for years.

The last few visits, my results were not even sent to my doctors who ordered the testing— I had to follow up a week later and go on a wild goose chase.

Prompt, Caring, and Thorough: A Positive Experience at Washington Radiology. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently had an experience with Washington Radiology after discovering a suspicious lump and needing a mammogram. As a 36-year-old, I was understandably scared, especially when my local diagnostic center had a three-month waiting period. My anxiety wouldn't allow me to wait that long, so I decided to call Washington Radiology, and fortunately, they had an appointment available the same week.

I must say that the entire process at Washington Radiology went smoothly and comfortably. From the moment I arrived, the staff was supportive and understanding, helping to alleviate my fears. The radiologist took my concerns seriously and thoroughly examined the lump. Although it turned out to be scattered fat tissue, he ordered an MRI to be thorough, which ultimately came back clear.

I appreciate how Washington Radiology handled my case with care and professionalism. They provided prompt and efficient service, which was crucial given the vulnerable and scary situation I was in. I'm grateful for the good outcome and the peace of mind it brought me. Overall, I had a positive experience with Washington Radiology, and I would recommend their services to others in similar situations.
